Beastie Boys - Sure Shot (Official Music Video) 

The flute riff came from Jeremy Steig's 1970 song _Howlin' For Judy_ then it was sampled in 1994 by the Beasties then in 2010 Steig played the flute parts in the movie. A 40 year saga.

Fun fact this is their trippiest music video

Wasnt this flute song played in the film

❤

Too cool for school

I couldn't agree more. Cheers from Brazil.

0:50 I mean the muth fucking coolness

Cool? Yes. Musical? Yes. But the lyrics are gibberish.

cannot fucking agree more!

MASTERPIECE.

Yo

All the OGs

Probably more often than I should, tbh.😂

HERE..never considered about leaving 🫨

Understatement, I can tell you where and when I was when I got the news of MCA and it sucked!

R.I.P. MCA, A TRUE LEGEND !

@@Antony_Jennersame here mate

​@@Antony_Jennerp⁰0⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰😅😅8

YOU BET YOUR ASS THEY DID.....NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! RIP MCA😢

Can't believe it's been 8 yrs !

I won't forget the day I read on the news that he died. I was actually at Disneyland...sad day at the "Happiest Place on Earth." RIP MCA

Part of my childhood died that day

more like rocking out

Atleast he will live forever with all their timeless hits..rip

Like desperately!!

how they're all dead :(

@@wolfBC no they're not. MCA passed but Mike D. and Ad Rock are still going strong

@@jessicamitt7166 yuuuh gooorl but without adam aint nooo beastie booys babyyy

@@jessicamitt7166 sad fc 😭😭😭😭😭💀💀

Always fresh. It took a little listening to appreciate new stuff by them, because it was different, still always them, but different every time.

The Beatles of rap.

Yea no says how hard this beat is !!

Yeag! Best!

The flute adds a whole nother element/vibe. Big fan of brass or wind intsturments in East Coast hip hop.

This is required listing, period. 😏

this is why we all are here

Ya damn skippy.

fo real

I havent heard it for 23 years since i stopped going to rock clubs !

I love them. I mean it.

I listen to them all the time but it’s always good!

Awesome!

Heck yeah. They weren't showing off their cars, money, girls or trying to act tough. They were just 3 friends enjoying their craft and having fun! Every video they made just looked like a good time

Late afternoon a work. Incentive on the low. Slap some B-boys on and I'm high energy and happy. Nothing like them. The best.

I think I've heard MC Ride playing with that cadence

I did have that joy this year

Er- I’m 63 and I just discovered em 😊.

Maybe MCA and John Lennon are doing a collabo in The Great Beyond. ;)

I was their last show at Bonnaroo. No one knew MCA had cancer. They just rocked it and left everyone smiling. And then the news came later. Blew me away

🥺

Look at this way: their performance for you would have been work for them. Enjoy the Beasties' freedom. Also I love knowing that I did see them live. Namaste

@Martin Luther there is nothing that is even like the equivalent of the Beatles. love the Beasties

hitting a high note in humour there!

Skream - Rutten Brief flute resurgence.

Are you talking about this cut, or the original soul tune they ripped it from?

Jethro Tull would like to have a word with you.

Ripped and made it cool.

Most important lyrics of my life. Next to ‘Excess ain’t rebellion’.

That's after they got a lot of crap from snowflakes for their earlier stuff lol. The music didn't suffer for it though. Everything they put out is amazing. I hope Ad Rock and Mike D continue to put stuff out. RIP MCA

Every one gets laid

Lisbon es lit🔥

Damn right. I was 17 in 1994

It's so true! Check me you may like it. I was just picturing the 90's and this playing on mtv on a nice summer day!

The Hip Hop and the Rock was so on point and original

MeatVision I hope some catch onto my music videos! I grew up listening to Beastie Boys! ✌🏼

Mike D will Rock a Block Party till your hair turns Gray!

I was 15 too 🤘🏻😃🤘🏻

That's funny. I first started to listen to Beastie Boys in 1984 and was obsessed with adrock. I made my mom take me to the mall and search every shoe store until I found the exact pair of Adidas that he wore. I used to decorate my bedroom with White Castle hamburger boxes and empty Budweiser cans too LOL. I was 14. Oh, and the ouja board said I was supposed to marry Adrock.😢❤

Feels bizzare reading this comment section when I'm *currently 15.*

Thanks for making me feel old!

Omg im old

Exactly. Definitely have to say, you hit the nail on that one bud

+Olyella Mcsticky Thanks man

+SetOnKill How about RunDMC? I always loved both bands for exactly the reasons you say. :)

+Adam Carmichael I can't comment on RunDMC, though I'll take your word for it. My musical taste is so mixed between rap and rock. I like anywhere from gangsta rap to slip knot.

+SetOnKill check 'em out... they are more on the rap/hiphop end of the spectrum. one song you might like is Walk This Way done with Aerosmith.

I’m here for the weird little flute as well.

Same

I think they stole the idea for the flute from kid cudi

@@williampatrick9864 Except Kid Kudi was 10 years old when Sure Shot came out in 1994.

Because u can't u won't stop!

It’s such a treat to hear something for the first time even though you’ve heard it a hundred times. There are so many nuances to their music.

MitchelGant I

MitchelGant agreed

Exactly. But why do they say its a 2009 song ? 90's

MitchelGant yes! Totally agree!

@@partygod159 most likely remaster

Are STILL MY LIFE !!!! 🔥🔥💗🔥💗💥💗💗💥🔥💥💗🔥🔥🔥💗💗💥💥🔥

They didn't just pop it out, they crafted it. They may have just dropped a track sometimes, but I know they frequently just geeked out on it and PLAYED with it, until they got something entirely insane and overloaded with cool, chill grooves.

Look at how they're dressed lol, they clearly know that they're white boys, they're not trying to be anything that they're not, just badass lol. Good for you!

Music belongs to no one, it belongs to everyone! It’s Intergalactic 🤯

Good for you, the beatie boys don't try to be black rappers, they tried to be the Beastie boys, nothing wring with black rappers of course.

Ha three of the coolest dude's ever doesn't matter what colour they are.

@@hachi666roku that's what I was going to say. She should have said, "I hate when one race tries to claim ownership of a genre of music" then got out

listen to Jethrol tull,,,flutey for sure

Jethro Tull. Focus.

There was woodwind all over Gill Scott-Heron's "Winter in America" as well.

It's a sample from Jeremy Steig. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-etOrYtQ3EGc.html

Sampleted from howlin for judy 1969

Thank the crate digging

Si! Cuando escuche esto por la primera vez, pense, "Ay. Que lindo por decirlo...💓"

@@Route66er Yo no me enteré hasta ahora que estoy leyendo el libro de los BB y cuando vi el documental "The Punk singer" sobre Kathleen Hanna, cantante de Bikini Kill y Le Tigre y esposa de uno de los BB. ¿Has leído el libro o visto el documental? Esta frase vino del silencio sepulcral que se hizo en la gala de los premios MTV, cuando aprovecharon que fueron a recoger un premio y dijeron por el micro "Hey, nos hemos enterado de que en el último festival de Lolapalooza hubo agresiones sexuales aprovechando el barullo y la confusión". Nadie dijo ni mu. También los BB se dieron cuenta y admitieron lo capullos que habían sido de adolescentes con las mujeres con las que se cruzaron en shows y con las mujeres en general. Y eso les honra, hacer auto-crítica y rectificar.

@@s.venegas La verdad que no sabia que esta frase tenia tanta historia detras de el. Concuerdo contigo. Al incluir tal frase en su cancion muestra que han cambiado - o por lo menos estan tratando de mejorar. Esto en si merece reconocimiento y respeto. ?Es posible que me hubieran gustado aun mas los muchachos Beastie Boys? Aparentemente si.

Hasta donde recuerdo el discurso de Ad Rock en los MTV es del año 1999 criticando el festival Woodstock. Ahora, la rima de MCA en Sure Shot es del disco Ill Comunication que salió en 1994. Hasta dónde se lee en algunos artículos de la Rolling Stones, para Yauch fue la oportunidad de decir que estaba en contra de su yo del pasado y que su pensamiento sobre las mujeres había cambiado, algo que para Ad Rock y Mike D fue raro en un principio pero después siguieron sus pasos de cambio.

@@Route66er Los BB han tenido errores y han cambiado con el transcurrir el tiempo, eso ha influenciado a generaciones de músicos, algo que te das cuenta cuando se pronuncian después de la muerte de Yauch. Te invito a investigar más sobre la banda, por mi parte estoy enamorada.

Its f*%#ing impossible

Man I gotta say it limits your worldview if you outright “hate” any music genre. It’s perfectly acceptable to like metal and other music genres. For some reason it seems like metal fans are particularly bad about limiting themselves to just one genre. That’s just so limiting when there is SO MUCH INCREDIBLE music out there from ALL Genres. I really like metal. I prefer more of the Hardcore sound-Black Flag, Bad Brains etc. but I can enjoy Slayer and love rap, country, pop. The “Metal” group I LOVE from more modern music is a band called “Torche”-absolutely incredible and unique sound. Try to expand your horizonsz. There are objectively “good” examples of all genres. As for Hip Hop, I’m guessing it’s the energy? Lyricism? Inventiveness? Of the Beastie Boys that causes you to enjoy them? I’d suggest OutKast for sure if you like those three aspects of the Beastie Boys. As for current artists, Run the Jewels is a group of two guys that should blow you away- Killer Mike-one of the most intelligent and imposing lyricists ever and El-P-one of the greatest producers ever who is a great rapper as well.

@@GoZags43 I’m definitely a metalhead but I listen to almost everything. Great music is great music. You are 100% correct. I listen to everything from Pantera to Smokey Robinson. Pretty much anything from the 50’s to the late 2000’s. Disco, Funk, Hip Hop/ Rap, Classic Rock etc. There is no favorite genre for me. I’m a chameleon of musical tastes and I love it. I’d hate to be tied to just one genre. There’s so much great music out there.

Metal music fan?? Metal head.. say metal head dude.

🙄

So you don't hate rap

so dynamic

The best of the best mca was my favourite mc ever

Such a good line tho

I've been going gray lately in my beard(I'm 52) and that line just fucking kills me. MCA RIP you rock!!

A ‘dark cloud’ 👍

Surprised it hasn’t been sampled again since by Drake or someone 😅 definitely a great beat

1 hour ago. You must be having Beastie boys flashbacks now. Word up.

Hey Brandon. Great to see that there's still some Beastie boys fans out there. Brandon keep rocking the Beastie boys cuz you know you can't you won't and you don't stop!

I didn't know they had CDs for Liscensed to I'll so early on. I had the Cassette tape in '86 but I was I years old. My older sister(R.I.P.) introduced me to it. She was 12 years older than me.
