The whole "Licensed to Ill" album is awesome! The guitar solo here and in "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" were done by Kerry King of Slayer. Slayer was recording "Reign in Blood" the same time the Beastie Boys were recording "Licensed to Ill" and had the same producer, Rick Rubin. Kerry did the solos for very little cash. Kerry makes appearances in videos for these songs, if I remember correctly.

Beastie Boys are Hip Hop royalty, even credited with discovering LL Cool J, but they started as a punk band and had rock hits. They were even the first rappers who used samples of other people music, which led to lawsuits and the modern way of getting clearance for music samples. They were just three goofy, talented dudes, who liked all kinds of music. Their catalog is very diverse.

The beastie boys is a whole new kind of rabbit hole for you guys to jumps down. They are part rap, rock, funk, disco—everything!

[markdriscoll]

“Three MCs and One Dj” is Beastie Boys at their best rapping.

[mosoho]

This lyric video has so many of the lyrics wrong. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I would recommend watching the actual video. Great reaction. Beasties have some killer tracks. I suggest doing a deep dive.

Beasties Boys are Hip Hop ICONS!! They helped pave the way...BTW YOU GUYS ROCK!!

[ryankozlowski]

Kerry King a founding member of Slayer played the guitar on this!

[johncampbell]

Public Enemy answered this with "You Gotta Party for Your Right to Fight." Later PE's Chuck D and LL Coll J inducted the Beastie Boys into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 1986, I was at parties where this got played.

Beastie Boys had a LOT of great songs. This was just a fun song that signaled their arrival. It's a good time anytime. ~Be Blessed

You guys have done 2 Beastie Boys songs and, while they're the two most popular, they're also two of the most atypical. The funny thing about this song is that it was intended to be mocking frat bros and "party boys", but people took it at face level and it became an anthem for those very same people.

The Beastie Boys are an incredibly diverse band but, considering they actually started as a punk band, don't go rock all that often. Funk is more their wheelhouse, although they fuse a *lot* of different styles together. For something very different to anything you've heard so far, check out "Shake Your Rump". Just one suggestion out of a possible many, because you've barely scratched the surface.

This was a great time to be a teenager. Your tape collection was expected to have Beastie Boys, Prince, Motley Crue, etc. They were all great.

Brad really needs a history lesson on the 80s. He seems completely oblivious to that era of music. People always forget about technological limits on instrumentation, recording, and production/mixing from certain eras of older music.

[bobschenkel]

When the Licensed To Ill album came out, my youngest brother threw it on the turntable and turned it up, and even my mom, who was into Broadway music, thought Fight For Your Right To Party was a great song. She'd sing it years later, just for fun.

Beastie Boys first tour was with Madonna of all people, and their first international tour was with Run DMC.

The first record was kinda lame lookin back, lots of juvenile humour, and simplistic ideas, but then they were basically still just kids. They'd broken out with a comedy song, and the label wanted more.

From the second record on is where they started to become artists. Yes, Hey Ladies the biggest single was still a bit juvenile in theme (that said, Girls from the debut is still one of my favourite songs!), but the delivery and sonics of it was vastly improved.

[badhabitbabbitt]

This was huge back in the 1980s!!! The Beastie Boys brought RAP into the mainstream along with Run DMC.

[kcpilot]

Lex “It’s ROP again!” So cool the way she says that and the expression on her face.

[chrisb]

grew up int he 80's and this was the song at every party!!!!

[johntroutonline]

Definitely one of the first Rap/Rock mix groups. I remember when this came out the DJ’s on the rock station were like asking the listeners what genre we thought this song fell under and taking polls to see if people wanted to hear more… eventually it became a pretty big hit on rock stations. It’s a banger in my opinion

[cmccracken]

I have been waiting forever for a reaction to this song. It was an ANTHEM back in 1986

[jasonshoff]

Beastie Boys No sleep till Brooklyn. Main guitar riff written and played by Slayer's Kerry King. Great song
