Today's tribute goes out to the motherfuckin Beastie Boys!!! Beastie Boys are from New York made up of Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch, and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz. Since around the time of the Hello Nasty album, the DJ for the group has been Michael "Mix Master Mike" Schwartz, who was featured in the song Three MC's and One DJ.
They started out as a hardcore punk rock group in 1979 and appeared the compilation cassette, New York Thrash with Riot Fight and Beastie. They switched to hip hop with the release of their debut solo album Licensed to Ill (1986), enjoyed international critical acclaim and commercial success. They're well-known for their eclecticism, jocular and flippant attitude toward interviews and interviewers, obscure cultural references and kitschy lyrics, and performing in outlandish matching suits.
They're one of the longest-lived hip hop acts and continue to enjoy commercial and critical success in 2008, more than 20 years after the release of their debut album. On September 27, 2007 they were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Listening to a Beastie Boys track will hype you the fuck up, their shows are off the hook as well and get the crowd "Body Movin". The Beastie Boys have come a long way and continue to make new and innovative music. Enjoy the tribute as we take you through a wild Beastie Boys tour.
