Beastie Boys

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

As the first white rap group of any importance, the Beastie Boys received the scorn of critics and strident hip-hop musicians, both of whom accused them of cultural pirating, especially since they began as a hardcore punk group in 1981. But the Beasties weren't pirating -- instead, they treated rap as part of a post-punk musical underground, where the Do It Yourself aesthetics of hip-hop and punk weren't that far apart. Of course, the exaggerated b-boy and frat-boy parodies of their unexpected hit debut album, Licensed to Ill, didn't help their cause...[more]

After a six-year hiatus, the Beastie Boys finally return with "To the 5 Boroughs" -- their first album since 1998's "Hello Nasty." MCA, AdRock, and Mike D spent the past two years working on the album, and it's the first produced entirely by the boys themselves. "To the 5 Boroughs" is a salute to New York, full of old-school hip-hop beats and political anger. From the block-party rockers "Ch-Check It Out" and "Triple Trouble," to the politically charged "Time To Build," and straight-up tribute "An Open Lett   [ read more ]
