Beastie Boys - Three MC's And One DJ 

Dam that is awesome!

back when dj's actually had to be talented to be taken seriously 🤙

Didn’t this way like ruin the records? But I wish dj’s today actually had to be good to be taken seriously. Not just sit there acting like they’re changing things but they’re actually playing a prerecorded song

OMFG I CANNOT BELIEVE I NEVER NOTICED THAT

@@darkassassin6457 It eventually destroys them. But it’s not exactly hi-fidelity sound you’re looking for. You could keep using a record for scratching for ages. Most DJs would try and pick up a few copies of whatever their main beats were.

Mixmaster Mike is unreal!!

Well, it is one record, but it is custom pressed, so there's tons of different samples on it.

Talent. What "artists" lack today.

Tight as fuck. 😗

Will always appreciate skills like that, is pure sounds of science 🤘😎🤘

As the whole set-up in this video proves.

Я из россии . Мы тоже любим эту группу!!!

Even if you don't like their music, their videos are hilarious. Someone said to them, "Grow up." They simply replied, "no."

it´s definitely GENERATION X

i honestly coulnt tell if this was from the 80's or 2000's

HELL YEAH !!

The talent in that room is off the scale.

Well shit someone just scratched that record comment.

:)))

😂😂 looking for this comment honestly…in his mind he reeeallly wants to do a sick handstand llol

Good Apollo yes! Respect! ❤️my beastie boys

Brothaman Dap They're not mutually exclusive brother🤙

Totaly broh

Brothaman Dap racist much?

Ik right 😭😭😂😂

REST HIS SOUL 'M.C.A' ❤😊🎉

I can second that!

🤞🏼👄😍🤪

👍👍 Even worse, someone who don't know who are the B Boys.

I concur.

No, he's a fully licensed and bonded Ghostbuster.

@@briancook3923 ya, was going to say those 1099s suck at the end of the year

Try walking down the street in NYC nowadays with that on your back, everyone would think it's a terror attack.

@@bartimisfoul3459 No one would notice because they are all face down in their phones.

That is why you pay money, travel long distances to see these people. They are THE BEST.

I agree I personally only watch cave paintings bc these studios like Pixar and Ghibli use too many computers

Using computers to make art takes no skill I agree

@@carsonscott3237 😂😂😂😂

yea man computers bad man, nobody who uses a computer can be called an artist man, to make art on a computer you need no skill they just press the button that say "art" and boom, the worst.

Word

and let's not forget the face that there is NO laptop in front of him and he's not using a special time coded record

+CitySkin09 Cause nobody, can do it, like Mix Master can, Come on

+INTshyt old school real old school thats why

he'll tweak your ass across the crossfade

Really? Only once? I’ve seen them 10 or more. I’m in the documentary “Awsome I Shot that”. I’m the guy who yells I want two beers

I saw them here in Stockholm -99 and it was so great, me and my friends also shared a little bit of something green right at the beginning of the show 🙄

A regret in my life, not seeing the Beasties live. 😥

1994,Chicago, farm use driver license, fake id, 180 miles from Chicago Best concert I went to and made tons of friends. Four years later was in D.C, with a better fake, and saw lightning strike down too damn close for comfort. Now my son is learning the greatest that is the Beastie Boys Adam, you will always be missed

I saw Mix Master Mike live a few years ago, just by himself, and it was incredible.

Mike is a star in his own right but he joined Beastie Boys for the Hello Nasty record, before that it was DJ Hurricane who was with them when they became global stars.

'lead the way' is strong but I know what you mean

The D.J. was the special fx

Maybe accept the 🅱illion dollar demon soul sucking nuclear reactor backpack on the dj 😬

And they easily could have had a huge budget aswell

most DJs spin records. this DJ spun a record

That part at the beginning and end when they freeze and unfreeze, that was it. 🤣🤣

Ahh happy rap, how I miss you

@Dave Smith I've found on the internet that anyone over 21 is considered a boomer.

@kyfaydfsoab We are not generation, we are just from 80's.

U don’t gotta be like that dawg. I’m 19 years old (born in 03) and this shit is all that I or any of my friends listen too. I love a lot of bands and artists: 2pac, Dre,snoop, as well as Pink Floyd, led zepp, Grateful Dead, and phish, however nothing compares to the beasties for me. Still a lot of people in the new generations who know good music from bad. Nothin but love for you and every other beasties fan. Just letting ya know. 🤘🏻

@@RTTenn Sorry mate, Aussie humour,I'm glad young people are rocking the Beasties,keep the music alive,peace mate👍🇭🇲

No one ever accused Mike D of not being a perfect human specimen.

He would never make a varsity athlete though...

Particularly impressive given that he's back from the dead.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Hip Hop yoga....freeze. It was Dope

Good boy:) so glad to see the newer generation appreciate older music. Todays music has no soul whatsoever.

@@whitetornado603 He's saying the song is 20 years old, not himself. Plus it's your loss not listening to todays music. There's people that like both.

@@boulevardsound5137 I like and can appreciate both, it's just the majority of stuff now is not up to par. People need to realise, without the Beastie Boys, there would have been no LL Cool J or Def Jam as we know it.

@@simiangimp2282 it looks like it's the majority when really more people are making more music because it costs much less to make music and the playing field has evened out. We don't have less quality music, there's just more music to look through, he'll there's probably more quality music then there has ever been. It's just harder to find.

Preach partner.

Here with you.

Second that lol

Totally agree!

Welcome, to the beasties

With you ✌🏽

Don’t worry I’m 39 and passed up so many opportunities to go see them. We’ve still got the music to listen to at least.

same here bro

Just close your eyes and believe enjoying the music is 99% lots of people have been to a concert and don't get it. I'm lucky to see the bestie boys 2 times live in Australia 🇦🇺 they always delivered

I saw them when I was 13 back in 03 at Coachella fest, best two days of my life and one if not The best line ups of Coachella fest ever~

I’ll tell you this, you know how they have multi stage concerts, as soon as people hear one riff from their guitar everyone is watching them. They were awesome son.

Yup and that was me. Love those dudes so much

The beats are sick like malaria!

they dressed up like this to get you suckers. it's public image thing. it worked

Absolutely ! True pioneers of hip hop. There will never be another band like them ever. They compliment each other so well ! Some of best concerts were Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest another amazing hip hop group !

They’re also cute. That helps.

Ad Rock is the shit

welcome

i am turrning 44. i have been listening to them since i was 7 or so? coming from Borneo that was the coolest thing i ever laid my ears upon then and i knew from that moment onwards that i couldnt grow up normal like any other kids. while everyone else was catching fishes and birds, i was rocking to BEastie Boys. No regrets.

It was awesome to see this guys come out on MTV and see them live

Now your 58 , Shit

Lmao, I am 53 and have NEVER seen this vid. Been a Beastie fan since 86

Drumming

@@Richard_Straker drumming with a record player

He showing you Dem skills

Because he's a God.

@@Richard_Straker you do realize the drums were from same track? just scratching it back to that beat.

Legends. That's what I'm talking about!!!!

Evan Gilmore you mean they really tie the room together

Evan Gilmore Hope no one, will pee on it

+Falcon Star So how we gonna kick it? Gonna kick it room down!

Well, that's like... Your opinion man.

8 year olds dude.

No ego? That's pretty ridiculous.

@@StreetHierarchy You don't understand it.

@@StreetHierarchy That actually makes very little sense but maybe you can be excused for your misunderstanding of the English language being American. I won't bother explaining it, I'm sure you're not worth educating.

What are you talking about? Ego was and is a BIG part of hip hop and the Beastie Boys were partakers of it as well. Anytime there's any bragging on the mic about your skills being top notch, ego is behind it.

Peter Piper

Beat me to it

i know absolutely nothing about DJing but seeing this for the first time blew my mind, i had no clue how the fuck mixmaster mike did this

Well, its Mix Master Mike of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz. One of the Gods of DJing. I'm a DJ since 87 and had to realize, no matter how hard I try I could never reach that level. I'm not worried, I do what I can and enjoy and give respect to Djs that have so much more skills. He's a real Master. And yeah, MCA won't be forgotten. I always liked his rap and his voice. Hope to meet his spirit sometime somewhere.

@@peterpiper0815 Can you link something like that? even better if one is able to see the turntable and hands of the perfomer of that song during?

Not heard anyone else like this. Mix Master Mike skills are amazing. This rocks no doubt! On the DVD the collection you can change the cameras and just show him scratching the beat.

@@WuKuVex ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FkH6itxRgig.html here is a link to a video of Mix Master Mike explaining how he does it. Even though you can see his hands and everything it’s still an amazing feat that I can’t wrap my head around.

How hard can that be? 🤷‍♂️

Is very hard, you would need many years of constant practice and even then you won't be able to do it as Mike do it, and that's cause nobody can do it like mix master can@@godsmacked1000

Knowledge reigning supreme over nearly everyone.

Agree 100%

You said it best.

Word

Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick - The Show is worth checking out too

Nice sentiment but do your homework first okay? Alright.

Dang, you're lucky. As autograph / got to meet many big-time DJs in my day. But never outside of the dance trance genre.

That's sooo cool!!! I have met a few famous people, from celebrities, Pro-skaters, rock stars, rappers, etc. I always loved all the scratching and beat making thanks to these guys, I barely got myself a turntable a few days back, we'll see how it turns out when I try to mix it with some of the beats I make lol, I'm a rookie still but it won't hurt to try 👌😅🎧😋🎛🤜

Nothing special? Mix Master Mike is doing this with ONE record lol. That's pretty special

As long as Primus is on that list.

One of mine to

one of my favorite rhymes of all fucking time.

Replace Malaria by Corona and you have a pretty sick description of the last 3 weeks.

Sweet and sour, like a tangerine. Fresh out' the box, like a Krispy Kreme.

FoxBox72 “Fresh like a box of the Krispy Kreme”

Hell yeah, this verse is the joint

You must not have been alive when they got repeatedly banned from hotel chains 😂

​@@baronvonsatantry watching their Documentary where Ad Rock and Mike D said they got tired of all the drama about them, because a lot of it was not true. It got to the stage where it was expected of them to play up to the "Bad Boy" image and they were tired of it. Hence them moving to California as they didn't want to do another Licence to III type of Album. That's how we got the Masterpiece Paul's Boutique.

I've heard people badmouth them plenty of times. I just shrug - to each their own. Heck, I'm a trained classical musician, and it's not about the musicality in a traditional sense. They just make fun tracks and even more ridiculous videos, which appeals to my boyish sense of humor.

@iLoveJackingOn Nice observation!

like the little old lady who lived in a shoe if his cuts where kids he would be too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same

My dad has been listening to them since he was like 6 when their first album came out. He showed me them by playing the CD for their first album while we were taken a long drive together. It was awesome. I love them now. Too bad I’m way to young to see them live, I’m only 13. That doesn’t take away from how awesome their music is.

MomoTheBellyDancer Close. July of 1998

same - how could you ever stop loving the Beastie Boys?

Indy Indy cookie puss

jamie fister How are hundreds of millions of views on youtube, a bunch of grammy’s and VMA’s and the rock and roll hall of fame underrated?

Underrated for the 1993s to til borns

C FERVAR That’s Factual 👏🏽

Top 10 what? Relative to their peers in the golden age, Eric B and Rakim, a tribe called quest, public enemy, and even Run-D.M.C. are superior, and that's just four for 1985-90. For 1990-95, we have Wu Tang, Nas, pac, Dre, cube, big, even Redman and snoop. That's 12 in 10 years.

@@roryschmidt5776 beasties are just as great. It's like comparing apples to apples...

its not about genres, Its about skills and authenticity. When you see someone skilled in action there is no other way than give respect.

So am I I listen to all genres not just metal

well they have some songs that could labeled as metal

their early stuff is punk/hc

All metal heads from my generation 80's era love the beastie boys!

I don't see how you can pick just one to call your favorite theirs no way I could

@@bless520 I can see why you'd say that but for me this is my #1, I've listened to this song on loop for the last 5 hours and still love it, not many other songs I can say about that...but this one and "Girls!" I can listen over and over to.

NOCLIPSPELAR respect.

Hahahahahahaha epic

NOCLIPSPELAR "Handstand"

NOCLIPSPELAR is that related to CROSSFIT?? XD

+NOCLIPSPELAR even better in Beastie Boys - Glasgow 1999 (FULL) Min 31:11

They had a terrible reputation when they switch from punk (hardcore, seeing as it was USA) to hip-hop, all hype and controversy, dancing girls in cages and huge inflatable penises (penii?) on stage, it took three albums for us to get it, but after that?......never imitated, never bettered and never to be forgotten!

I grew up in the '80s and these guys were well revered by my friends and I. As far as we concerned they were staple in the hip hop community.

@@pw9647 tipper gore fuckin HATED em

I got that reference, too.

It’s a positron collider

When there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call?

Or a space modulator 🤣

Or a flux capacitor 🤣

Skills to pay the bills, baby!!

AGREED, BROTHER! AND GOD BLESS THE USA!

they stil rockin bling its just smaller or they didn't wear it in the video. they always had signature reps.

@@timafiggy yea but I think it was more for style back then. Today it's more about telling everyone else how rich and "hard" you are.
