He was 47. He had been battling Cancer. R.I.P. http://todayentertainment.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/04/11540570-adam-yauch-mca-of-the-beastie-boys-dead-at-48?lite
I just heard about it. I got tears in my eyes now. The Beastie Boys were such an important part of my teenage years.... RIP
I would never forget one photo of the Beastie Boys where they had a big penis thing on the stage! Where is Enemem? If it were not for them he wouldn't be the superstar.
The Beastie Boys have been doing their thing for almost a quarter century. Eminem may have more record sales, but musically I can't put him or hardly any other hip hop acts in their category. How many instrumental hip hop acts are there out here grinding, other than The Roots??? The Beastie Boys have been doing this their whole lives. They are one of the originals. They are a hip hop act that happens to be white, NOT a White hip hop group.
In a way but, I remember back when I was in my teens and, it was never thought of or mentioned that I can remember. They were just a very good rap group that came up with everyone else. RIP MCA, I didn't even know he was sick.
