Only one album to talk about this week and it's the newest disc from the Beastie Boys. Being regarded as on the same page as Check Your Head and Ill Communication, the Beastie's latest, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, sounds like a winner to me.
I've only heard two tracks off the album, one of which is the Nas collaboration, "One Too Many Rappers" which of course is fire. The Beastie Boys have been as big a part of hip-hop as any group, yet are often overlooked as all-time greats because of the rap-rock fusion and some of the more alternative music they created once they flexed their musical strengths with instrumental interludes on their albums.
None the less, they have toured with Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, and A Tribe Called Quest, just to name a few. Is that hip-hop enough for ya? Always loved the Beastie Boys and Licensed To Ill is one of the first rap albums I ever heard. Still a classic to this day.
And for your viewing pleasure, here's the 30-minute short film Fight For Your Right (Revisited) featuring cameos from everyone.
