It sucks to see "Beastie Boys" in the caption and I see only two of them. RIP MCA.

[LadyHashZ]

“Did he say anything about us?”
The innocence !

[sydneytimmermans]

mike d still has that voice he had 30 years ago

[Bronn]

Eminem about Beatie Boys some years ago: "When Paul's Boutique came out, I was one of the fans that didn't get it. It took me years to realize how fucking genius it is. I felt bad for sleeping on it." 

Of course he likes them. These guys are one of the most important bands in hip hop history.

Eminem loves Beastie Boys, pretty much he was inspired by them. Eminem did mentioned this years ago. It's easy to tell he was paying homage to them with the cover, just like how his lyrics mentioned various rappers he wants to shoutout. Stop trying to find fault on Eminem and clash them with Beastie Boys.

I love seeing Adam and Mike together again on camera. It can't explain, it just makes me feel good inside.

[tejasram]

Fun fact: Beastie boys inspired eminem to rap

[christinathompson]

Beastie Boys are one of Eminem’s influences. I heard him say this in interviews years ago. He’s paying homage to them. As soon as I saw the Kamikaze album cover I thought of “Licensed to III”.

[chopydave]

"no no he likes us... I think'-mike d

[Sucharush]

I love seeing these 2 in front of the camera again. Can't wait for the full interview

[Dechral]

rest in peace MCA. Thank you beasties for being a part of my youth

[jamieMccarthyGood]

Lol! The most likable trio in hip hop history. AdRock saying he cuts diss tracks about Mike D and then just sends him to only him is funny.

[rnrstar]

The older Mike gets the more he looks like Perry Ferrell.

[brettwho]

Interviewer: "did you ever do a diss track?"
Ad Rock: "about Mike!"😂

[TheBoomshine]

Em had a selfie with Mike on his Instagram a few months back. He's definitely respects them.

[Yapostadodat]

They look and sound great and are being very diplomatic in their speaking of a fellow rapper.  I think about MCA every time I hear the Beasties and miss him.  So many fun years, so many changes and evolutions of the band's sound and attitude; they were a welcome addition to my youth.

[AlcaniZFilms]

Beasties are legends, everyone from every scene in music likes them. They crossed boundaries and tore down fences. Go back and listen to check your head, that album is epic. Em’s new album is pretty good too.

[dawnofthedunk]

He's respecting the first white guys of rap..

[anthonycapistrano]

I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold

[JJNZ]

AD Rock is just mellow now... Can't picture him playing sabotaje now, it'll be weird without MCA's mad bass guitar riff.
