🎛️ ALT HIP HOP

Oddball samples and rhymes that take the scenic route.

MCA, Mike D, & Ad-Rock. BEASTIE FKN BOYS! When I was in elementary school – probably 3rd grade (1989), I inherited my textbook at the beginning of the year and saw some kid that had it prior to me had written “Beastie Boys” on the inside cover. Immediately, I thought “okay whoever had this book before me was cool”. That’s the best word I can think of to define the Beastie Boys. They are just so fkn cool. Licensed to Ill was the party album, Paul’s Boutique (my favorite) added complexity and sampling genius, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, fkn Sabotage! I still listen to the Beastie Boys pretty much daily.
