I truly believe the Roots can play any kind of music you give them perfectly.

Watching this makes me tear up. Beastie Boys were such a huge part of my life growing up. Brings back such fond memories of getting License to Ill on tape and playing the shit out of it. RIP MCA.

Just shows you how many people it takes to reproduce the beastie boys sound. Just three guys had so much vocal power and attitude that it's hard to replicate.

MixMasterMike wearing a Nuclear Assault shirt is just too perfect

[slothbro]

[oxouk]

Guitar player nailed the vocals. In key and nailed the attitude.

Seeing Black men doing their best Ad-Rock impressions makes me as a Black man feel less weird when I do it 😂😂😂

I'm a 47 yr old black woman THIS ALL I KNOW!! I love em I'm in tears super excited

Mix Master Mike tears those turn tables up... he's amazing ! Seeing QuestLove on the drums, MMM on the tables while Black Thought, Kid Rock, and Travie sing was bad arse !

When MCA passed, that was the first time I realized the finite nature of time. I remember my dad getting all sad about artists from his generation when they passed. MCA was my first tase of that bitter cup, Many have since gone... Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, "Dimebag Darrell"... and time just seems to keep on accelerating.

I love how Quest Love has become the Paul Schaffer of this generation.❤️

Can’t ever be another OG group like Beastie

[JC_COMICSANDCOLLECTIBLES]

Kirk Douglas(the guitar player at the end) total killed the vocals! His style/voice fit perfectly!!

[michaelcameron]

Wow, I always thought they were unique, but I never thought they’d be this hard to cover. The personality is a huge part of their music.

[timothycnptmp]

That is how you DJ no computer. Just pure raw talent

[skiptickle]

It's like The ROOTS can do ANYTHING

[psykomystro]

The reason why the Roots are the inventors of the hip hop band. The legendary Roots crew!!! RiP Adam Yauch!!!🤘

[Orleans]

Got chills the second Sabotage dropped!

[young_heart]

this bro the guitar of the roots he made the best sabotage performance ever

[happydayz]

It’s complex music. Not easy to pull of something that cohesive when you’re not the Beasties themselves.
