Beastie Boyz - The New Style (Reaction!!)

[@BomageMinimart]

I love watching people's faces the first time they hear the greatest beat drop of all time!

[@xhighone]

These guys were like 18-19 years old when they recorded this stuff. Underage girls was a reference to Led Zeppelin and they didn't go around shooting people.

[@design1of470]

I've been watching a lot of videos of folks listening to Beastie Boys for the first time, I love it.

on a binge right now

[@jjstanding7314]

Man when we were freshmen in high school this came out. It didn't matter which friends car you got in they had this tape on it was just a different spot on the tape. This whole album is awesome, listen to every song with an open mind

[@ajschroetlin2196]

Ahh, tapes. 😁

[@texasentertainmentmusicnet9285]

My new 808 old school album is coming out soon! All Beastie Boys fan clubs members be there!

[@AbeWiessman]

I had this tape too! 😜 The tape (& cd) is long gone, but most of this album is still on my playlist today! Still love it

[@elisacardenas3535]

I still have this cassette tape 😊

[@brandy012173]

Heh heh…. You said “they had it on tape” LOL!!! Don’t worry, I also owned a cassette tape of this album. So funny though! 😂 The use of the words “cassette” or “tape” automatically means we’re ‘old’ right. Hell, young people now wouldn’t even be able to figure out how to dial 911 on a rotary telephone. They would do the circle thing than disconnect the call thinking it meant ‘send’.

[@mn-wk3ju]

“Car Thief” on Paul’s Boutique is fire 🔥

[@OTPgal76]

Y'all are crushing it. Enjoy the Beastie Boys ride. Side note: the girls being underage is a diss to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Next song request-3MCs and 1 DJ. Keep it coming!

This my favourite song on their first album. The beat in the 2nd part hard as fuck.

[@skillman72]

13-14 years old when this dropped. I remember walking the streets of Hamilton Ontario with this blaring on my ghetto blaster. I thought I was the shit. Great memories. Beauties still rule!

[@pbutterpaint]

I was in grade school when this jawn came out :) I still remember dancing the “Smurf” to this LOL 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This song, Paul revere, Hold it now hit it, were my favorite from this album.

[@pnew3107]

“I went to the party and I did the smu-erf” 😂. Something like that.

[@coachmullen1]

Old school hip hop was more about creative story-telling and word play. And it was about making people laugh and just turning the party out. These dudes put their tracks together with so many dope samples, beat switches, flow styles, and they were one of the best at that tag team rapping style. The Beastie Boys were always entertaining and they created their own lane in hip hop history.

[@texasentertainmentmusicnet9285]

I agree brotha Jeff and on May 27th we go be story telling and dropping some serious 808s on America! Check me out

[@vicegrips188]

[@mfar3016]

This whole album is gold! License to ill is the soundtrack of my heyday! I owned it in vinyl, cassette & eventually CD. Listen to all of license to ill

[@Hot_Topic]

Guys I was in high school back then and to see you young guys appreciate our old music is priceless. The Beasties are one of those rare groups is timeless, raceless and have a huge catalogue for us all to appreciate...even your kids and grandkids. Peace

[@carollittle1059]

They were huge!!!

[@PixelPro-4000]

Yeah, The Beastie Boys have a huge variety of sounds, with the best beats, and really creative videos. Seriously, it’s gonna be a while. Score you hear a song you don’t really like from them. I recommend official videos for “Intergalactic”, “Sure Shot”, “3 MCs and 1 DJ”, “Pass the Mic”, “Root Down” and so many more. Also they made an appearance on The Chappelle Show doin this song live (The New Style) and it’s awesome!

[@tempsitch5632]

They’re not ready for 3 MC’s & 1 DJ.

[@thomassullivan1207]

This album was back in '86. Before you guys were born. Crazy stuff. I remember memorizing this whole album when I was in 6th grade. Brings back memories.

[@adamcone6856]

All the bass cd’s had that one part on them. Huge impact on the scene. Mmmmmmm drop!

[@clarkvaughan]

Great to see y'all have a good time. That was me back in '87. One dude in the neighborhood would buy the latest Def Jam record (Run-DMC, then LL, then Beasties, then Public Enemy) and we would all go over his house to hear it. We were shocked THEN. It was nuts THEN. But we loved it!

[@PixelPro-4000]

The “underage” comment was in reference to Jimmy Page from their previous lyrical line. It was rumored that he liked them young. The Beastie Boys were poking at that rumor.

[@commenceenavoirmarre]

Yeah ..I heard he even kept one underage girl locked at his home, like we keep a dog ! .... evil...

[@jamesoblivion]

Yeah, people don't always know that Licensed to Ill is satirical in a lot of ways. A lot of these kinds of references to the 'rock star lifestyle' were meant ironically, and this is indeed calling out Page. Because all that stuff about him and young girls is not just rumors.

[@prettyboyvalentino2386]

They were also underage at the time as well lol. They were 17 when they made License To Ill

Actually, nobody cared about "underage" in 1986... they just didn't. So long as you meant high school age and not kindergarten. I had teachers in high school back then who were openly dating my classmates. It was just a different world.

My recommendation is Shadrach, the official video. It's a live set and MCA (RIP) directed and animated it. The lyrics are fire and to me it's a song the absolutely captured who they were at the time. It's my favorite off Paul's Boutique. Which, if you are a hip-hop fan and you do not own a copy of it, you need to do your homework.

The Beasties back and forth flow is legendary, but can be a bit dense especially if you don't know the pop culture they are referring to since it's from the 70's-80's. You should do some lyric vids or at least have the lyrics up in front of you. Unlike most modern rap, understanding what they say is important or you'll miss how insane they really are.

It’s with a turntable and a TR 808. That’s why it’s simple. Conceptually it’s brilliant. In fact I’m shocked that no one has jacked and looped the beat at the end. Also rest easy, they were in HS when they wrote this. They’re weren’t Bambatta-ing people.

From this same album you should check out "Hold it Now, Hit it" and "Paul Revere". Don't be afraid to go back a few seconds because some songs are a lot to take in & you can miss a lot on your first listen. You should also go back 10 seconds or so when you pause to comment because it breaks the rhythm & lyrics/mssgs get lost like that too.
