Damn.

RIP Adam.

What a crew: not only for rocking so hard as hip-hop brats, but everything since! Re-reading Grand Royal still makes me laugh out loud.

Digging it out right now, not heard it in years,

I don’t think Pauls Boutique has ever, ever been off my play list / iPod / pile of cds or tapes in car. Most of the rest of my play lists are the tracks sampled on Pauls Boutique

RIP.

Can’t quite believe it.

When I’m riding great, and everything just flows, all I here is either Sure Shot or Flute Loop. Same as Poddy, they’ve been the only constant in my music collection over the years.

The Beasties are, I think, probably the biggest effect on my musical taste, my biggest influence, possibly tied with the Sex Pistols, possibly not, it’s hard to say.

I’d put money on us being exactly the same age 🙂

Very sad news.

Time to get my cassette of Licence to ill out. Yep, Sabotage right up there with the best vids.

Genuinely gutted to hear this. Will always love the Beasties for keeping me laughing through my teenage years. RIP MCA

RIP MCA. Soundtrack to many very good days, the Beasties. Time to cue up Paul’s Boutique once again.

Aww man, proper gutted.

I’d put money on us being exactly the same age

I was born 1970. The Pistols I remember from early junior school, the Beasties from early secondary school. To me, they both have the same feeling, the same attitude if you like. Hard to explain.

I can’t think of any musician’s death that has had this affect on me.
Saw them at Birmingham Odeon in 1986 when they (and I ) were just children, fell in love with the energy and always kept them in my life.

“not like a roach or a piece of toast, I’m going out first class aint going out coach”

RIP. Very sad news. Loved all there stuff.

Speechless. 🙁

Yep RIP,long time fan from punk to hiphop,as mentioned a few times,All albums on ipod,on a ride today and just starting a Fast swooping run through local wood and Egg raid on mojo came on ,had to smile.

Wow. Shocked.

Grew up listening to Check Your Head. The only album I own on vinyl and CD. Seems like yesterday.

Body Movin is my favourite ever early morning commute tune

Got Paul’s Boutique on now, playing through properly. Not listened to it for ages.

How old is this? Brand new yesterday, right?

RIP. 🙁

So sad. 🙁

loved their punk stuff.. ‘Some old Bullshit’ is one of my favourite albums of all time.. not so keen on their hiphop but I know plenty who really love them..

see you later dude

RIP MCA, i listen to Beastie boys pretty much every day – Absolutely gutted tonight 🙁

‘let me get some action up the back section’ fnarrr, RIP MCA, bad times. BB revival night.

The first ‘real’gig I went to was Run DMC and Beastie Boys at the Royal Court in Liverpool May 1987, aged 14, courtesy of my mates dad.

The Beasties shaped my musical life, got me in to Hip Hop, which got me in dance music, which got me into trouble and they were there when I finally matured.

God bless and RIP.

RIP

Jan 1971 – both the beastie boys and the sex pistols were the sound track to my exams

This is going back a bit – before Licenced to Ill, when there was a girl in the beastie boys

In the past 48 hours some massive influences from my youth have sadly died:

MCA
Lloyd Brevett – Skatalites
Nitro Deluxe

Thank you for the music

This mornings listenings so far – Liscence to ill, The mix up, To the 5 boroughs, and Hello nasty.

RIP MCA.

Radio 1 with Zane in half an hour. Beastie Boys special 2000 – 2100 hrs.

Weird, I somehow missed this news when it happened, then saw some pics of MCA today and felt really sad.
Such a great band. Who would’ve thought they’d release such consistantly good stuff over so many years.
will be tuning in to Zane Lowe (just hope he keeps his gob shut)

Been going over their albums over the last few days, and I’d totally missed The Mix Up when it came out. It is immense, if you haven’t heard it, check it out 😀

Loved the beastie boys too, then and now.

RIP. MCA you’re on the mic ma man.

Just seen this, cool:

Nice one Dez. New desktop methinks!

Dez that is brilliant, thanks.

Props to Bristol’s Cube Cinema for last night’s MCA tribute night (a whole bunch of Beastie films & vintage hip-hop being spun in the bar) – good stuff.
