I started listening to the beastie boys around the mid 90's when I found my brothers copy of Liscensed to ill, I absolutely loved it and then checked out all their other albums and I still listen to them regularly to this day. Didn't get to see them in Glasgow in 2000 but I thankfully did go in 2004 on the 5 boroughs tour and it was as good as I imagined it would be!

Yeah I've watched it, good doc. Beastie Boys were good but not a huge influence in black US ghettoes imo.

Chuck D described the Beastie Boys as "essential to our beginning, middle and today". Darryl McDaniels said the Beastie Boys were "the Ramones of hip hop".

And if you take someone like Ice T his Body Count group sounded a lot like the Beastie Boys mixture of rap and hardcore punk/metal.
