MCA ´s (Adam Yauch) true words from 1998 !!!! - RIP 

He definitely saw there were some terrible things beneath the surface of American culture... things that would become mainstream not long after.

Or they kill him cause he knew too much..

He absolutely was.

Aqua Azobrab it happens more than most realize. Truly sad to see so many murdered

that´s awesome , but you make it sound like back then nobody care for humans rights xd

I thought it was forced. Like by the look ad rock gave him walking up was like a goat being led to its slaughter. Like they were all being forced by some sort of industrial deamon. And besides that it's quite prophetic that 3 years before 9/11 he said the countries from that area wore gonna retaliate.

I’ve had the opportunity to hang out w Chuck D and he is a truly down to earth guy. And really cares about the hip hop culture

@Nick G ehh not really

Ian McIntosh We’ll never know man but I would like to think that Chuck D knows how far The Beastie Boys pushed an former underground movement to a wider audience that bands like Public Enemy couldn’t have done, not because of their musical talent, but because Hip Hop crews like P.E were too hardcore and militant and not as accessible to a white audience, and Chuck D knows and respects this. In my opinion. Peace and Love

@@mcintosh1346 Read the Beastie book or listen to the audio version, Chuck respects these cats 100 and rightfully so. Don't get an intro like he gave to his chapter on the audio book while being led to corporate slaughter...

Agree. Adam demonstrates a keen grasp of how military aggression is a zero sum game. As well as racial profiling. A very bright guy, who seems to be channeling his inner John Lennon(and others). Well done. He, too, is gone, well before his time.

So Glad Trump is here. Terrists are now too scared to try anything on America. Peace Through Strength. Promises made, promises kept. #KAG

@Doug Green First of all they are in No Way Hollywood, they have always been from NYC, (Just like Supreme Leader trump) Second, I thought any American has the right to speak on politics? (Oh I guess since it goes against your belief it should be censored)? Kinda in the Constitution called freedom of speech. Third. What is with trumptards obsession with hilary? It's laughable that you think that trump cares about anyone but himself. All he does is talk about ratings, crowd sizes and his bank account.

@@0truckmafk Afraid of trump? By that insane logic, Terrorists* were scared of Obama because we were never attacked. Trump is the only President that respects murderous dictators like Kim Jong-Un(said they fell in love from a letter). Erdogan (kills anyone who speaks out against him), Putin (says he believes Putin over AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES). Mohammed Bin Salman (Killed an American Journanist and trump did NOTHING because he signed a weapons deal with the Saudis) What a true patriot trump is. Draft dodging, Trust fund baby who files for bankrupcty whenever he owes hard working American vendors and the working class paychecks for building his gold towers. True Fuckin' Anti-American Donald Trump.

@Doug Green You literally just described trump. The Irony would be hilarious if not for how dangerous it is.

Clovis de Cruz what a great guy. Like everyone’s best pal.

Dude, you're Illuminati...otherwise I would have liked this comment twice

Idk. Benjamin Franklin was pretty smart.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha saying someone is smart because they are poets to instruments.

That's an extremely low bar. That's like saying, "Taller than any ant."

Peter Bonde they dressed like that on stage all the time. It’s a punk rock thing originating from late 50s style.

They were dressed like they were in county jail

Are you new to them,that's 100 pct who they are.

What are your pronouns ?

+Segun Olorunyomi real music

Anyone notice his face at 5:31 lol 😂

Actually, in 1998 MTV was a bunch of bullshit beach parties that marc mcgrath was getting the "scoop" on.

MTV stopped being about videos in 1992.

Said the same thing, wow

Well said!!

MMM was mostly a live member/studio collaborator. He was a important component, but he wasn't really a part of the group. He is like the 5th Beatle (the 4th Beastie)

There were other collaborator/DJs like DJ Hurricane.

I feel old 🤣🍀💯

If anything Money Mark is the 4th Beastie... Mix Master Mike was barely in the group if you look at the full timeline.

Jose Montano Hell! yeah!

Me too... plus Paul's Boutique

Constant rotation. Fuck anyone that doesn’t do the same

Yo hell yeah! Three MCs and One DJ, Watcha Want, and Girls all day bro!

Ahh shit Remote Control too!

My man said this in 1998?! He predicted what happened if so. that's crazy....

Brandon you are exactly the type of person he was trying to speak to. He is not referring to anything remotely tied to Iraq. At that time President Clinton had sent cruise missiles into Afghanistan and Sudan to strike al-Qaeda training bases and a supposed chemical weapons plant. I'm sure you're aware of 9/11 which occurred three years after this, the retaliation MCA was warning us about. Saddam was a real POS however he suppressed militants, notice how you never heard of ISIS until AFTER he was removed. The Iraq war had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism. Also Saddam hadn't just started to fuck stuff up, he had always been a brutal dictator.. and yes we enabled him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Infinite_Reach

@sean grant kook

@sean grant look into the definition of the word racist and you'll find your answer.

@sean grant what the fuck is wrong with you? how do you take this beautiful moment between friends and turn it into some racist bullshit? fuck off! nobody needs your fucked up brain!

Well said

Cancer of the salivary glands.

Aaron R he had pancreatic cancer.

Goe N. Phuc Yer-saylf -- parotid gland. salivary gland. which probably spread elsewhere. www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20120504/beastie-boy-mca-dies-had-salivary-cancer

Tom and Zach are still alive and they preached a lot of the same stuff, pretty sure it was the cancer.

Michael Farfan he is a hip hop super hero.

He's the man,the myth,and the legend

How does one become a hip hop super hero?

That is fucking sad honestly

Better late than never.

You still found out about him...go and be educated :)

now go listen to it all, you got a LOT of catching up to do, happy listening!! RIP MCA lml

"The future" is ignoring him as much now as they did back then, unfortunately. I saw them on their first tour with Run DMC and have loved them since.

Thank you 10 year old comment

yes, I don't know what politics has to do with the beastie boys winning an mtv award. there is something to say for "knowing your audience." honestly, it was awkward.

Jeremy Magrini very true. I loved how chuck d called him mike d. I forget and still call him mca

You forgot the 50s and 60s.

@@georgesed2447 and 70s

@@brendangilmartin4002 lol I purposely left out the 70s, personally not a fan.

@@mikerusso703, Jermaine Smith, who was my black friend in the 3rd grade, gave me his copy of license to ill to take home and make a copy of(but also so i could look at the album cover in the mirror to read the message on the side of the plane) I believe this small act of interracial kindness in 1987 lead me to a life of looking past color, and that music is important and has no borders.

Yes, he did. Brass.

He was pretty spot on

Yes true words
