It’s not as old as you think. It’s some of their later work, released in very late 90s (1998). The video is deliberately meant to look cheap as it’s sending up old Japanese Godzilla type movies. Incidentally, as a hip hop DJ I used to play Biggie Smalls acapellas over this instrumental. 😁

[@dodgingcars]

Beastie Boys had an interesting trajectory. Their early hip hop (they were originally a hardcore punk band) got them signed to Def Jam with Rick Rubin producing their album. They toured with Run DMC and were certainly influenced by them. But after their debut album, they moved in a direction outside of popular hip hop. Paul's Boutique could best be described as "alternative hip hop" like something you might have got from Tribe or De La Soul (but sounds nothing like them -- just that it's really experimenting with sounds). They later started adding live instruments, rock, and other genres into their music, so were often overlooked by hip hop radio stations. But that's what I love about them. Each album is different and song-to-song on an album can range from hip hop to rock to latin-inspired.

[@MW-cx3sb]

Have to admit I always felt a bit of the same vein as tribe in beastie boys after the early early albums

[@chrisreeves3820]

Good interpretation bro.

[@careyt]

Shout-out to Tribe and De La Soul!!

[@lawrencelymanii6943]

Lol, sorry, but that sounded a little like whitesplaining hip hop to me. The B Boys had tons of influences from early hip hop, and got LL signed..

i was born in '88 but always knew of them cause of my brother '77 (rip) How could you not listen to them back then tho?!?!

[@puremercury]

So the loose concept of this album was going back from the late-1990s to the electro sounds of the early-1980s, and the video is sort of a throwback to the sci-fi/monster movies of previous decades and what they THOUGHT the '80s and '90s would look like.

Beastie boys are the ones who gave Rick Rubin LL Cool J’s demo. They were highly influenced by Run DMC and were discovered by JMJ. Signed to Def Jam they did Licenced to Ill. They have influenced many throughout the years. Look at Em’s homage to them with his Kamakazi Cover art. Damn near identical!! Right down to backwards writing

[@paulb808]

Beastie Boys were already the Beastie Boys, and had Cooky Puss playing in clubs, and were looking for a DJ to play it live, when their friend suggested someone who could DJ and had a bubble machine, and lived in a NYU dorm room, which turned out to be Rick Rubin, and he joined the group as DJ Double R.....

[@Imagination-In-A-Box]

@@paulb808 He didn’t have the bubble machine though which was a main reason they picked him 😂

[@StevenIngram]

Yeah, before they were even known or Licensed to Ill came out, they appeared in the old hip hop movie, Krush Groove and performed their little known song, She's On It. :D

[@davidanderson1639]

& let’s not forget License To Ill was the first....yes first rap album to top the Billboard Chart!! Rick Rubin was Beastie Boys original DJ; they needed a DJ to play Cookie Puss live & it was due to this that they signed to Def Jam (who later ripped them off big time...to this day there’s still bad blood between the remaining members of Beastie Boys & Russel Simmons).

[@davelowets]

@@davidanderson1639 Yep. Never got paid for work they did, so they went to Capitol records

This song came out in the mid/late 90s. They remind you of Run DMC bc both groups were produced by Rick Rubin who helped to define and hone their respective sound.

[@ronnieharwell8236]

This was released before my Sr year. The summer of '98. 98-99 was all about "Hello Nasty" until the "Slim Shady LP" came out second semester, 1999. Of course OutKast was the soundtrack of that era too. Memories 💜

[@nancyberry1039]

I remember when the "Fight for Your Right" music video hit MTV - funny song & silly video, but it sparked my interest... Hmmm, who are these guys? So I went out the next day & bought their first album - Licensed to ill. That was in 1986, I was 19 yrs old. Now 53 and still listen to it's classic groundbreaking songs - No Sleep Till Brooklyn, Brass Monkey, Paul Revere, Hold it now-Hit it, She's crafty (that's a funky one), and my favorite - Girls! When Run DMC teamed up with Aerosmith on Walk this way, that introduced us to the idea of music fusion, putting two genres together. So you can say that they opened the door for that idea. Then shortly later, the Beastie Boys show up to kick that door off of its hinges. That first album is loaded with heavy beat drops perfectly paired to sick rock guitar riffs. I think you will enjoy listening to their early stuff & how their style evolves over time, but still retains that distinctive Beastie Boys sound that we all know as soon as it starts playing. My 2nd favorite from them is Intergalactic. :-)

[@MechaJoezilla]

I love the old school Godzilla comments. That put a smile on my face.

The Beastie Boys were pioneers of the "new school" of hip hop that brought it to the mainstream in the 1980s. So they're old school in that they got in on the ground floor, but they aren't so old school that they got in at the basement level (its infancy in the 1970s).

Yeah, good ear. I think they’re younger than Run-DMC but they were playing shows together in the 80’s, they’re from the same era and scene. One of the Beastie Boys’ biggest hits “Paul Revere” was an idea from Run-DMC. Supposedly you can hear Adrock from the Beastie Boys laughing in the background on the Run-DMC version of “Walk This Way” because the two groups would often be hanging out in the studio together.
