The Beastie Boys started out as a Hardcore Punk act, releasing a handful of singles and EPs throughout 1981-83, but started out in Hip-Hop with rap parodies during their Punk shows in the early 80s. They quickly developed real skill with the "call and response" rapping style that was popularized in the mid-80s by acts like Run-DMC. I don't quite know how they hooked-up with Run-DMC's label (Def Jam) and producer (Rick Rubin) so early in their career, but it was a game-changer for all parties involved. Like a lot of the hippest acts in the US, their first big break came from the UK, and the earliest fruits of their collaboration with Rick Rubin and Def Jam was the 1985 UK hit "She's On It" (1985/UK#10) from the Krush Groove movie soundtrack.

Right around this time, fellow New Yorker, Madonna (who was only on her second album at this point, but already as big as Prince or George Michael) tapped them as an opening act on several of her tour dates. They followed-up with a classic full-length LP hit called Licensed to Ill (1986/US#1, UK#7). The album sold well and performed well in Rap-friendly outlets and formats, but it was the Pop crossover success of their Rap-Rock anthem "Fight for the Right to Party" (1987/US#7, UK#11) that turned them into household names, almost overnight. That first album, Licensed to Ill only had the one US Top40 single (despite eight singles being pulled from the album), but the album itself sold like crazy, and every damn song on it became a perennial favorite.

It took a couple of years for them to follow-up Licensed to Ill, and when they did, they released the greatest (and worst-selling) album of their career. 1989's Paul's Boutique is even more legendary than the first LP, and more artistically singular, as well. Where the first album was just full of jokey party raps by middle-class Jewish Frat Boys who clearly loved Run-DMC, Paul's Boutique (1989/US#14, UK#44) was a creative tour de force that helped kick-start the 1990s a year ahead of schedule. Co-produced along with the Dust Brothers, this was one of peak albums of the so-called "Golden Age of Hip-Hop" (1987-92). It was an absolute smorgasbord of sampladelic genius and mile-a-minute pop culture references that still sounds fresh to this day. But, for all intents and purposes, it was a commercial disappointment. Only one single, "Hey Ladies" (1989/US#36, UK#76) even cracked the Top40, but again, the album itself became absolutely legendary.

During this time, Rap and Hip-Hop had evolved tremendously and gone mainstream - in large part, with help from The Beastie Boys, themselves. They were always respected by their Hip-Hop peers, but also had a huge (and growing) following in the huge (and growing) "Alternative Nation". College radio, normally the bastion of Indie Rock, absolutely adored The Beastie Boys, and they were chummy with hip, underground Rock acts like Sonic Youth as much as they were with Rap royalty like Public Enemy and De La Soul. Their third album, Check Your Head (1992 (US#10, UK#106), came out in the midst of the Grunge revolution, and you can absolutely hear the influence of Grunge on singles like "So Whatcha Want", "Pass the Mic", and "Gratitude". They had moved on from the Dust Brothers' wacky sample-heavy approach and their Rick Rubin "Rap Rock" days were all-but forgotten as they picked up live instrumentation (guitar, bass, and drums, played by the boys, themselves) again for the first time since their hardcore days. Now working with co-producer Mario Caldetto Jr. and multitalented keyboard wiz Money Mark, they were zeroing in on their style, even more. They got lots of MTV and industry love, but the singles faltered and the 1992 LP stalled at US#10.

Assembling the same team for their fourth album, Ill Communication (1994/US#1, UK#10) somehow the gang found themselves back on top of the Billboard 200 and the videos for "Sure Shot" (1994/UK#27) and "Sabotage" (1994/US#115, UK#19) went into heavy MTV rotation. They toured the summer of 1995 with Lollapalooza, bolstering their Alternative Rock cred, too. At this point, they were widely respected as elder statesmen of Alternative and Hip-Hop, just as Rap Rock-influenced acts like Rage Against the Machine were coming into prominence. They also got more deeply involved in activism (mostly with respect to the "Free Tibet" movement), feminism (Adam Horowitz - Ad Rock had begun dating Riot Grrrl queen, Bikini Kill/Le Tigre leader, Kathleen Hanna), and were losing touch with the Hip-Hop audience who once adored them as it became more focused on G Funk's slack grooves and violent, sexist subject matter for much of the 1990s.

"Intergalactic" (1998/US#28, UK#5) from their fifth album, Hello Nasty, was their biggest crossover since "Fight for Your Right" eleven years earlier, and proved to be the biggest hit LP of their career. They had somehow outlasted a lot of the Hip-Hop greats they emerged alongside, including NWA, Fat Boys, Whodini. Even some of the best Hip-Hop acts still in the game had disappeared from the mainstream (Public Enemy, Run-DMC, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest), leaving The Beastie Boys as the last great 80s Rap act still standing at the dawn of the 2000s. They had also started their own label, Grand Royal, releasing music by Hip-Hop-influenced Alternative acts like Luscious Jackson (featuring Kate Schellenbach, their drummer from the Hardcore days), Cibo Matto (a clever Japanese duo, whose music belied a strong Paul's Boutique influence), and Post-Hardcore revivalists, At the Drive-In.

They released a Greatest Hits box set in 1999 and a couple of albums in the 00s, but by that point, they were almost on autopilot. They had become so influential and well-respected (in Rock, Indie, and Hip-Hop circles) that anything they touched turned to gold for a while. Sadly, about a decade ago, Adam Yauch (MCA) passed away. The Beastie Boys went ahead and hung up their mics out of respect for their fallen comrade, and retired from recording as The Beastie Boys.

The Beastie Boys are the reason why LL Cool J landed on his record label! Beastie Boys go back in Brooklyn, NYC, deep into the 80s!

[mkmstillstackin]

"Licensed to Ill" is definitely the first album that blew them up in a major way! I was in High School playing basketball at the time. Talk about getting ourselves hyped up, in the locker room, before a game, "Paul Revere" was definitely our go to song!

[starchild]

"Fight for your right to party" was their first MTV hit. 😁❤️🎼

[heflinG]

“3 MC’s and 1DJ” is a must for anyone who likes the Beasties!

[stephaniesanborn]

Beasties Boys broke the mold I have the original licenced to ill cassette.. They are the best!

[adamsgrad]

Sabotage has to be next! Beastie Boys are legends.

[michaelcoffey]

More Beastie Boys in 2024 please you two :)

[melod]

3 MCs and 1 DJ, is straight fire.. Weird this hasn't gotten more views, some reactors make a living on B-Boys reactions..

[chrislee]

'You Have to Fight for Your Right to Party' was one of their earliest mainstream hits in the 80's. Been a huge fan ever since.

[davewildermuth]

"When did they get their big break?" 1986, with the album License to Ill. They had a smash hit from that album with the song "Fight for Your Right (to Party)." The song was making fun of knuckleheaded party music and the people who listen to it, but ironically, it was embraced as a party anthem by those very same people. It remains so today, guaranteed to get a room full of drunk people to their feet. Next Stops:
LL Cool J, "Mama Said Knock You Out" (live, MTV Unplugged; he had a live band playing all his beats)
Danger Mouse, "Encore" (this is a mashup of Jay-Z and the Beatles, from the excellent Grey Album)
Public Enemy, featuring Anthrax, "Bring the Noise" (perhaps the best rap/metal fusion)

The Beastie Boys were originally a punk band from Brooklyn in the 1980's, while playing small gigs around the NYC area they met and performed with many pioneering hip hop groups including RUN-DMC. The cadence they use for most of their career was directly inspired by these interactions. Their music is a great example of the difference between an MC and a rapper, the Beastie Boys were MCs.

[ellaser]

The thing I love about the Beastie Boys is how sincere they are. They don't pretend to be black, or from the getto, or part of any gansta life. They know who they are and they are straight up about it. They fully understand the difference between appropriation and appreciation. They talk about old school hip-hop. They preach about those who came before them. They. Are. True.

[jmillz]

One of the early original hip hop groups from NYC. Helped break hip hop to the masses.

[EchoOne]

The Beastie Boys are loved and respected across all gendered of music; rap, hip-hop, rock, heavy metal. They started off as a punk influenced group that is why the learned to play instruments as per interviews they introduce to rap early on.

[skatter]

I'm not a rap/ hip hop fan, but I love the Beastie Boys.

[brianheckman]

Saw BB at a music festival. They were the second to last group to go on. They killed it! So much so that the last group that came on stage was mad because everyone was sitting down during their set. The crowd had no energy left to give to the last group. The last Group was the Smashing Pumpkins.

[mrlol]

It takes another level to be able to sample

[boling]

You can’t be in a bad mood while listening to Beastie boys.

[RadioReprised]

They came....They saw....They KICKED ASS!!
