So whatcha whatcha whatcha want, whatcha want?
Beastie Boys!
I'll keep this one brief because we all
already know how great the Boys are.
Beastie Boys are the best and we know this man!
Or maybe you're such a fan you might even be
Anyway!
Cooky Puss is just your average,
And since we're on the topic of Some Old Bullshit,
Beasties are like most of the bands I The above album is my favorite Beastie concoction.
Other faves out of this band are
Another aspect I absolutely adore about the Boys
The thing with me trying to mention favorites

How?
Well come on now--
they've been around since the dawn of rap.
Raise your hands right now if
Brass Monkey, Girls, or
Fight for Your Right
can still get you utterly hyped
to this day, no matter how many times
you've heard them.
going back to some old bullshit of theirs,
like the classic, Cooky Puss--
my personal favorite. . .well, one of them at least.
(And sadly I found out what exactly
pussy crumbs are one day,
but we won't get into that!)
run of the mill Bart simspon
meets the Jerky Boys phone gag,
long before either of them were popular--
we're talking pre-pubescent Beasties here!
we can't leave out my other fave off that one,
Beastie Revolution!
The song sounds like it had to be
so much fun to make. I love all the
random crap they have going on in the background,
especially the tiny flare of reggae flavoring,
seasoned to perfection as only the Beastie Boys can.

--favorites of Justin,
guilty of contributing to several different forms of music
--rap, punk, hip hop, and just plain goofy,
and let's not forget their brief stint with country
after a certain band member's amnesia
left him convinced that
he was a number one recording country artist.
Main reason is my man,
Q-Tip,
lending his vocal blends to Ill Communication.
Other than that,
I like some of the goth shit
they have going on a few songs after that
and I love Sureshot.
I used to have the dog barking,
"I love you,"
as my Instant Message indicator.
That was sweet!
Egg Raid on Mojo, Egg Man, and,
of course,
The Sounds of Science.
And speaking of which--
why the hell is that the one song not
included in the anthology of the same title?
is that they do right where most others
have failed.
They prove that white men can, in fact,
rap. They were the pioneers sitting there on
Yo MTV Raps! right there
with the rest of the heavies.
of the Boys is that it's virtually impossible.
I actually don't know most of the titles,
although I like most of their stuff.
which has been dubbed--and rightfully so--
their worst album. I think most people's problem
with this album is that,
like with Madonna,
most people cannot handle the fact that,
like the rest of us,
artists do grow up as well,
and their musical tastes change.
I respect bands that are willing and ready
to evolve into something new
and jump into it whole-heartedly.
But people are right when they say
this new wave of electronica is not the Beastie Boys.
But anyway, why don't you find someone
less lazy than me who can fully explore
the inner-workings of the Beastie mind.

then come back to my warped little world
because you are far from finished
here!
