  I was really lucky to see Beastie Boys with Rancid and At the Drive-in. Still one of the best shows I&apos;ve been to. Mid set, Beastie Boys played a bunch of their punk stuff. They were very energetic.

  Beastie Boys taught me that being original and creative is cooler than anything else.

  Beastie Boys used to get dismissed by hip hop because they were Rock and they used to get dismissed by Rock because they were Hip Hop.

  I got tickets for Beasties and RUN DMC summer of 1987 I was 15. Dad was mowing the lawn and had a massive heart attack. Mom called a few hours later from the hospital and she told me Dad said he knew how much that concert meant to me and I better go or he&apos;d be mad!! Dad just turned 84 a couple weeks ago and I&apos;ll be 51 next week.

  Not sure if you&apos;re aware, but &quot;Fight For Your Right to Party&quot; was meant to be satire of the whole frat party culture. The Beasties have been on record about how frustrated they were that people just took it straight as a proclamation of the culture rather than reading into the satire it was meant to be.

  My middle school English teacher tried out for a Beastie Boys style rap group in the mid 90s. He was a drummer but they put on a beat and asked him to freestyle over it. The beat just played as he stared blankly for thirty seconds then quietly walked out of the building. He said there&apos;s nothing more embarrassing than walking home in rejection with a puma suit and a bucket hat.

  Paul&apos;s Boutique is a sonic masterpiece. It&apos;s a rare album you listen to from start to finish. You feel like you are in a NYC in the 70&apos;s

  Paul&apos;s Boutique holds up so well it&apos;s insane. It might be their best album still.

  I don&apos;t remember what interview it was, but I do remember the Beastie Boys saying Fight For Your Right was essentially a troll song to make fun of the stereotypical &quot;frat boys&quot; and &quot;entitled spoiled kids&quot;. It basically got adopted by exactly those people and is a constant running joke. I love that. That&apos;s punk as fuck to me.

  Paul’s Boutique and De La Soul’s 3 Feet and Rising are psychedelic/abstract hip hop masterpieces
