No!!

 

[KayaBrew]

Wow...I just read about it on another site. Sad news indeed. Last week Levon, this week Adam Yauch. You will both be missed.

 

[Revvy]

Too young to die....

(Speaking of young, they look like babies in this video.)

Man, this sucks. Rest in Peace.

Bummer. :'(

 

[Bulls Beers]

I was a big big fan back in the day. They were so innovative..Too bad..He will be missed. I remember seeing them in 86. Blew me away...

 

[Homercidal]

Great stuff. Even the wife loved Sabotage!

That Whatcha Want video kicks ass.

We've seen the Fight For Your Right (To Party) video on VH1 a few times recently and the kids are not impressed. I guess it's because they didn't grow up watching Animal House and Revenge of the Nerds...

 

[MaddBaggins]

I am so sad. One of my absolute favorite groups since I wore out my License to Ill tape back in high school. I have all their albums and still listen to them all the time. Even Mrs Baggins is a fan.

RIP Adam.

Been rockin my Beastie Boys playlist all afternoon. I know I got laid at least once because I was a BB fan. Thanks for that MCA.

 

[BrazenHeadBeer]

Rip!

 

[terrapinj]

way too young and unexpected (to me) I thought he had beaten the cancer and was doing well

very lucky I got to see them 3 times

RIP MCA

 

[BBKing]

Never got to see them

But man were they my group back in the day. "Back in the day" for me was the mid 90s, proof that The Beastie Boys transcend generations.

One poster on Yahoo claimed the autopsy report is in. Adam Yauch died of an overdose of coolness. I'm inclined to agree.

 

[SkippyWilliams]

RIP MCA

Best concerts I ever went to. So many great songs that I can't pick a favorite, but Skills to Pay the Bills gets me going every time.

 

[HIM_Tattoos]

Gotta say finding out about MCA this afternoon ruined my day. Never got to see him live, never will.

 

[Elshauno]

When I saw The Beastie Boys in 08 for Rock the Vote Ben Stiller came out on stage as Ad Rock and jammed out Root Down! That was awesome! If you haven't seen their latest video which features The real Beastie Boys at the very end as cop check it out. It's awesome it has a ton of good actors in it

I was in high school during the 90's so the Beasties, much like Nirvana, were a big part of me growing up. This depresses the hell out of me. They were/are an amazing group/band and my 2 year old son WILL know who MCA is.

I have been listening to/watching everything B Boy all evening trying to cope. This is the first time a "celebrity" death has affected me. It's weird, really, letting a total strangers death bother me, but there it is.

 

[Brutus Brewer]

Pauls' Boutique a classic and one of my favorite albums of all time

Absolutely, yet I'd wager a bet that if you asked the average person about Pauls Boutique, theyd have no idea WTF you were talking about.

Same here. SWMBO didnt understand it either, but when a total stranger is such an influence its hard to not be disturbed by their passing.

I tried explaining this to no avail until I asked how she would feel if the last remaining "Golden Girl" died, then she seemed to understand a tad.

 

[jonmohno]

Hardcore inspirational fan here. Last album ive repeated contiunoulsy for months,my favorate of the last decacade since check your head.I just cant belive it,i thought since he was sick it may have kind of been a joke for the hall of fame thing.but didnt realize or know how truley sick he was,that sucks!Now what? I feel like i lost a brother, i looked up to them like that.Even worse is i want to know what caused this cancer,in this day anything can,and im shure its avoidable even if known.Im pretty shure he was a health drivin wholeistic person(opposed to his earlier years) very unfortunate to be exposed to the poisons the world constantly offers.Ive been following them so to speak since the 80's=i feel old. 'Grandpa been rappin since 83.' Adrock/i know.Not literally.

Pauls' Boutique a classic and one of my favorite albums of all time

was rocking the vinyl last night

 

[forstmeister]

Pauls Boutique playing now. Check Your Head in queue..

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

Not much of a fan of their 2000s stuff but can't fade on the 80s and 90s BB.

[Homercidal]

Wanna fire them up on Spotify so bad right now but I doubt my place of employment would appreciate their style of music as much as I do.

I really need to hit up some iTunes and make some CDs for the car though.

 

[terrapinj]

Put on some beastie instrumentals. In sound from thw way out or the mix up would be fine for work

 

[bosunbrew]

maybe because he was young, maybe because I grew up listening to them... or because he was positive and doing his best... but MCA's passing has affected me. Listening to the 5 Boroughs right now. Beasties made me laugh and think. Love the punk rock influence in their music, along with all the other genres they sampled from. RIP MCA

RIP for sure, and Paul's Boutique pretty much got me through high school, but I'm happy that this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumia_Abu-Jamal lost one of his biggest monetary supporters. I have refused to spend money on the B'Boys ever since I learned of their support for this piece of human trash. Anything I've acquired of theirs since the 90's has been free.
