Mowin down mc's like I'm mowin a lawn.

Sorry, I'd write an elegant post using words like "transcendent," but I feel like I've been kicked in my stomach...

For real. This is MY era. I was in my teens and twenties as they broke ground and REIGNED. So many road trips were themed by them. SO sad.

George he was also a boss bass player both electric and upright. That is very unusual in the rap world. They also play funk and punk. And he was an accomplished producer as well.

Check out Adam on distorted bass on this track. BEAST!

Admittedly I know or knew little of the man and not intended to be disrespectful of the deceased.

But I have and still do hold THE BEASTIE BOYS in absolute contempt.

And live on the upright bass.

Can you expound? Was it because they rapped period? Because they rocked too. They pseudo jazzed too. I'm just curious.

To my knowledge They were probably one of the few "rap" artists/groups that actually didn't go ranting on about beating women down, shooting up the neighborhoods and preaching hatred... To that end I respected what they did...even though I wasn't particularly swayed by their style and genre.
