This blows. Gonna be listening to Ill Communication and Hot Sauce Committee Pt.2 all day.

Edit: How did I forget Paul's? Easily one of the most influential hip-hop albums ever.

*golf clap* toots.

But yes, this sucks. Crazy that the same guy in the Fight For Your Right to Party video went on to organize the Tibetan Freedom Concerts. Easily the most political one whose influence in that arena had a pretty far reach. I've been listening to his music since I started buying records.


I remember this like it was yesterday:

I was thinking "What's Your Name Yauch? My name is M-C-DEAD" but this works too.

Like everybody, The Beastie Boys influenced my life in some awesome and awesomely strange ways.

Bad day. I rarely listen to music at work, but I pulled up Paul's Boutique on Spotify and played it.

too bad. even though he's 12 years older than me, i kinda feel like I grew up with him. Listened to their bratty first album when i was a little brat, listened to their music expand while my tastes did the same, went to college during the height of their activism.

will def. spin the discography this weekend.

I knew when he wasn't there for the HOF induction ceremony that it wasn't for the same reason as A-Hole Rose not showing up. I'm glad I got to see the bboys on the lollapalooza tour in'94 (deer creek, IN of all places). Godspeed, MCA.

Oh, and I've been dead since you were sucking your mother's dick.

Such a classic video. As I may have said here before, the two albums that are head and shoulders above all others in number of spins in my lifetime are Licensed to Ill and Appetite for Destruction. Sad, sad day.

`CH-CHECK IT OUT'

One Goat, on Account

To the Editor:

I had the great pleasure of reading your unsolicited critique of the "Ch-Check It Out" music video ["Licensed to Stand Still" by Stephanie Zacharek, May 16]. It took some time to get to me, as it had to be curried (sp?) on goatback through the fjords of my homeland, the Oppenzell. And in the process the goat died, and then I had to give the mailman one of my goats, so remember, you owe me a goat.

Anyway, that video is big time good. Pauline Kael is spinning over in her grave. My film technique is clearly too advanced for your small way of looking at it. Someday you will be yelling out to the streets below your windows: "He is the chancellor of all the big ones! I love his genius! I am the most his close personal friend!"

You journalists are ever lying. I remember people like you laughing at me at the university, and now they are all eating off of my feet. You make this same unkind laughter at the Jerry Lewis for his Das Verruckte Professor and now look, he is respected as a French-clown. And you so-call New York Times smarties are giving love to the U2 because they are dressing as the Amish and singing songs about America? (Must I dress as the Leprechaun to sing songs about Ireland so that you will love me? You know the point I make here is true!)

In concluding, "Ch-Check It Out" is the always best music film and you will be realizing this too far passing. As ever I now wrap my dead goat carcass in the soiled New York Times — and you are not forgetting to buy me a replacement! Please send that one more goat to me now!

Yeah, this one sucks, but didn't hurt quite as bad as I thought it might.
I was eating lunch at work when the news broke on CNN. It would have hurt a bit more if I hadn't dealt with about ten other shitty things at work during the morning, or if I was able to reminisce with friends at that moment, but I couldn't and the sadness was quickly lost.
Not to make light of his death, but I wonder if they would tour with a hologram MCA.
