Mike D and Adrock on Beastie Boys Feminism, Adam Yauch's Hornblower VMA Disruption 

In 2007, i ran into MCA before a concert. I asked him "soooo where's the after party 😉😍"..... He said "sorry girls, we dont do that anymore 😢. Still best day ever!!!!#

Mike D's voice sounds the same as it did when he was 20.

Paul’s Boutique is hands down one of the best albums , any genre of all time.

I’m 48 years old . I’ve been listening to music all day , every day , since I was 11 years old . Paul’s Boutique is my # 1 record of all time . It never gets old, I listen to it still @ least once a month .

I can listen to Questlove talk about music for like... forever.

This interview was incredible. Mike D and Ad-Rock are seriously decent individuals.

I gotta say, these longer form interviews, where you guys geek out over music history, are the best things Jimmy has put out. More of this type of content!

Man, you can really tell how much of an influence they had on Quest lol

So Quest should co-interview all the musicians with Jimmy right

Paul’s Boutique changed my life. Didn’t like it at firsts but my friend said “ no listen to it again” and we went and listened to it in his car and he showed me how great it is. Now it’s one of my my favorites. Again life changer

As a kid who whose musical paradigm was shifted by the Beastie Boys, this video is everything to me.

mike and ad are still good friends and that makes me so so happy

Can Questlove have his own show about music? Or Masterclass??? I'd watch that all day.

I love that Fallon made a longer interview with them than only 10 min like most of the late night hosts would! That’s how it should be ✌🏻

My man MCA had a beard like a billy goat.

Been a B Boy fan since 86. Seeing Jimmy pull out his Beastie records in his house and admire the Beastie's like I do makes me feel Jimmy is one of my buddies idolizing one of our favorite bands. I feel Jimmy is representing me while he just chews the fat with them. One of my fav at-home segments yet.

Paul's Boutique is stellar! The Beastie Boys didn't think much of it, critics didn't like it, but Questlove is 100% correct.

"When you've got so much to say it's called gratitude . And that's right." This a great interview, thanks Jimmy.

Ad-Rock going for that "grandpa been rapping since '83" look. Lots of love for these guys. RIP Yauch.

They’re so humble! Like please take ALL the credit, Beastie Boys, because you paved the way for the greats after you all! You made and continue to make millions of people’s lives really awesome and happy

"paul's boutique" is THE BEST EVER. amir is 100% correct.

I am so glad to hear from the Bestie boys

Unexpected and nice to see, Mike D & Adrock always love hearing from you guys! Stay safe everyone...

Saw them live in 98 on the circular stage, and then saw Mike and Adam for the book tour in London - that was kinda sad, it felt like a heartfelt 'thank you, we love you... Goodbye'.

Even in remote mode, everyone is composed and still while adam keeps moving his camera around and being just... ad-rock. I love this and love Questlove's love for Paul's Boutique SO much

I had Paul’s Boutique on repeat for all of 1999. Never once did I ever consider what a review said.

"Yauchs Uncle, yeah" Totally dead pan. ❤️ Hornblower for life!

46 year old from the U.K. so excited about this film, Beastie Boys have been the soundtrack of my life, me and 3 school friends used to do Paul Revere in break times in front of class mates, I was the king Ad whammy 😂

The Beastie Boys will always have a place in some of my fondness memories in my childhood!!

Paul's Boutique is, was, and always will be my favorite Beastie Boys album ❤️ That neon orange cassette tape got so much play I wore it out!

This is seriously the best "interview"/conversation EVER! And it probably wouldn't have happened if we weren't all shut inside. Jimmy, I love you, do more of these! The deep cut of it all is everything. It's like when my nerdy bandmates start talking in the middle of practice or band practice is no playing and ONLY talking about influences and process. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

Love this long form, deep dive, artist-to-artist stuff!!

Paul’s boutique is the most important hip hop album ever in my eyes.

These guys played the BEST show 2 days before my 21st birthday, in Montreal on May 15th, 1995. They played nearly 40 songs (38 to be exact) and blew the f***ing roof off the Verdun Auditorium. with the Quadrophonic Sound. There was a MASSIVE Zodiac of positions from the Kama Sutra behind them.. Just killer! THANK YOU, Beastie Boys!!

Such a fan , I think this is the best interview Jimmies done. Love Jimmys passion for the Beasties 🙏🏼

Really appreciate you putting this together Jimmy, put a smile on my face & I can't wait to see the full documentary.

We we NOT ready for Paul’s Boutique when it dropped. I had to come back to it two years later. So many solid tracks... pushed limits and changed the game!

"One man's dud, is another man's life change!" - Questlove --- That's very true.

I heard Pauls' Boutique for the first time in '93 on a road trip in a mates car on tape and it blew me away. We must have played that tape so much from then on.

Thank you Beastie Boys. Thank you for all the memories that comes with every album you did.

11:45 is such a sad moment. Jimmy's not the best interviewer so he fumbles the question about letting the crowd sing Paul Revere. It seems like he's asking a question about the last time the band performed the song in public, which leads to an awkward few seconds where they reflect on how the Beastie Boys ended and how MCA should be here right now, making music with his brothers. Then Jimmy quickly clarifies his question and there's an audible sigh of relief. Mike D rubs the back of his neck, his discomfort having subsided a bit, and gets back to interview mode. They loved their friend so much, man. Even today they talk about him with such reverence. Every time they're interviewed it's so good to see them but it will always be sad because of the massive empty chair in the room. RIP MCA

Quest seriously used a mean girl reference lol. That’s too real. I mean, that was way fetch.

Paul's Boutique got worn out in my tape deck, had to rewind it with a pencil!

Love this interview felt like a picnic table chat

Thanks to Questlove for calling out their weird dismissal of Paul's Boutique

I agree with Quest Love. Thank You for Paul"s Boutique changed my life. Thank You.

Paul's Boutique is STILL my all time favorite album. I could easily spend eternity on a deserted island having only Paul's Boutique to listen to. I was an early adopter of PB. I was also a huge De La fan, but the B Boys Paul's Boutique pushed it out of my Walkman.

Jimmy needs to quit the tonight show and host a podcast with quest about golden era hip hop

Beastie Boys are legendary. Have all their albums and will never forget how I listened to Check Your Head back & forth even while I was doing some homework 📚 😅 Lighten up, Groove Holmes & Pow really invigorate those brain cells 🧠

Wow! Those kinda interviews really mean something to us in the hip hop world! Thank you guys for your honesty! ❤️ I'dmlove to hear more about the 90s like that

I bought that Paul's Boutique cassette and played it all the time, non-stop in my boom box in my car. I raved about it to everyone at school and work - and only the cute guy in my Geometry class understood. Mind you, this was small-town Indiana.

Check Your Head is their best, because it’s truly THEIRS!

Paul’s Boutique is a piece of art.

Thank you, Jimmy Fallon for bringing the crew back!

Questlove needs his own show. Take note.

To The Five Boroughs is an unheralded masterpiece that doesn’t get enough love

I absolutely loved this. Thank you Tonight Show! Felt like I was there!

7:56. I'd say "One man's dud is another man's milk dud." Now that's dope.

I like how Quest was arguing with the Beastie Boys😂😂

I still have my original Pauls Boutique cassette I bought in 89! I played over and over in my 1978 Monte Carlo! Thanks Beasties

I need me some more Beastie Boys. I love their story.

Love that you posted this. It’s like being a fly on the wall listening in on a great conversation! Love the Beastie Boys. Can’t get enough.

I take it all back what I thought of Fallon: he really is a fan! And this is fantastic!❤️🔥

No one is going to mention Fallon’s TWIN McIntosh turntables? Unreal setup.

Love the passion for the Beastie Boys! This was *dope* af 🔥🔥💯💯 RiP Adam Yauch (MCA) always hearin' ya through the music 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This is magical. I can't wait to see the documentary!

Adam "its a long story" Horowitz

Scotland calling, Paul's Boutique is easily one of the best albums of the genre.

Love Beastie Boys shout outs!...So much knowledge!!...So much love for the craft!.....Only missed 1 show ever in Wa....The best shows I ever seen...The energy is the greatest!!...I was hoping D and Rock....would put together an album with some of their favorite artist....I know MCA would never b replaced!!...But it would be cool 2 hear some collaboration ...Thank you guys so much for the inspiration and all the great times with y'all in the back ground!....

My first concert was Beastie Boys opening for RUN DMC at the Greek Theater in So Cal.

Adam's VMA 'disruption' was absolute magic.

It s amazing to see how much impact the Beastie Boys have had a whole generation across the world. I discovered the Beastie Boys when I was 12, one of my older friend invited my to his house to make me listen to this cool record his Dad bought (Licensed to ill). Instantly loved it, got the record, played it a thousand time and never got bored of it. Fully agree with Quest on Paul's Boutique, for me the best of all, it was as revolutionary as ahead of its time. I mean, Shake your Rump!!!! I remember getting it as if it was yesterday, in the summer of 1986 I am on a holiday camp to the town of Truro England. I meet the only skateboarder of the town, he listens to the beasties boys too, we dont really understand each other but right away we are friends. He tells me the BB will play on Top of the Pops the next day and invites me to watch it. I learn the album will be released soon I manage to buy it a the UK the day before going back to France where it will be impossible to find for a long time especially if you don't live Paris. I have a treasure with me for a few months!! One week later I am off to Spain, I have managed to record the album on a tape and In the camping I meet an English kid who was wearing a BB boys hat or tshirt. I tell him I have the new beastie boy album recorded on a tape, we are in my bungalow five minutes later, I play the tape on a small shitty stereo, and the guy goes nuts and aggressive... He swears at me tells me that this is shit, its got nothing to do with the Beastie Boys it cant be them, that I am a big liar and leaves..I hope he liked the album in the end. I have to say that the first time I heard it I was disappointed as I was expecting more of "license to Ill". The BB could have easily done that and give us more of the same and make more money in the process. In the end they released a revolutionary album that has inspired so many people and that is still being talked about 30 years later.

I had Paul’s Boutique right when it came out on cassette. I wore that thing out. Now have it on cd a couple times and LP.

This was the best thing I watched on RU-vid in months. Thanks fellas.

Love this kind of content! Keep it coming! Deep-dive, legend interviews

Quest showing his LOVE and gratitude to the fellas. Love it!

Thank you so much for be this! I needed it!

Thanks for doing this guys. Can’t wait to see the film. ❤️

such a good conversation!! i grew up on beastie boys! Quest your a legend as well, and of course jimmy. Great video!

Thank you so much for this!!!!! This is so beautiful! I'm the biggest longtime beastie boys fan from India, this meant the world to me

I had cut out the cover art from mags of Paul's Boutique on my geometry book. Miss making book covers.

Paul's Boutique is like The shawshank Redemption, not many got their heads around it till years later. Great interview & of course R.I.P. MCA

I miss those guys! Thanks for bringing us good tunes to our walk-mans back in the days!

I agree with Quest! Thanks for the memories. 🙏❤️

Ah. SO MUCH LOVE. Mike and Adam talking about A Nation of Millions and 3 Feet High and Rising coming out right before Paul's Boutique was released is everything. Beasties are my absolute favorite of all time. And Paul's Boutique is the one record I would take anywhere-- if I could only pick one. Rest in Power, MCA.

This was fantastic!!!! (Jimmy, love your twin McIntosh Turntables!!!) Really appreciate Questlove's input and comments!!!

Quest dead on!! Paul’s Boutique has always been my favorite. Own it - it’s amazing.

Loved Beastie Boys since I was a teen! So much so I named my son Mike D!! ❤️ what an epic episode!!!! Thank you!!!

This is gold.

Just so emotional. Deep in my formative years. Love love love.

such a humble dudes! Beasties, The Roots, J Fall - one love y'all!!!

I love this video Jimmy. Beastie Boys were a bit before my time, but managed to become a big part of music for me. The thing that makes this interview awesome though, is how much questlove is involved. You should have him do more in the future with musical guests.

Nice work Jimmy, I can tell you're a real fan. Can't wait to see the documentary! x

I remember seeing them before License to Ill came out, as one of the opening acts of a rap show with LL and Run DMC at the Capital Center in DC, I was like who the hell is this then they came out and dropped slow and low, new style, hold it now hit it and I was sold, they have been my favorite group of all time and im 49 now....I love listening to Pauls Boutique and just listen to all the different samples, to many to song to love on all their albums, but my alarm is set to Posse in Effect

💚💚💚💚💚💚 Paul’s Boutique did change lives. Beastie Boys changed our lives. 👏👏

Agreed What goes around comes around a what around comes around. I loved those hidden songs from back in the day!

Jimmy!! You got a McIntosh .....From those who work there, thank you for supporting the American Worker 100%! We love you Jimmy! Keep Doing What You Do! Kudos from Binghamton New York.

What comes around was one of my favorite songs. Also Paul’s boutique still is DOPE

Incredible Documentary. R.I.P. Adam Yauch was the backbone to the Beastie Boys and Paul's Boutique is their best album epic.💯

Paul's Boutique is still my favorite album, the best six songs on the first side of all time.
