The Roots, Kid Rock, Mix Master Mike, & Travie McCoy - Beastie Boys Medley | 2012 Induction 

too perf if u ask me,,, needs more slop

THE LEGENDARY ROOTS CREW. 215 IN THE BUILDING

Cause they are rooted. In this shit

Absolutely

I thought that was Questlove...... Love you all!! Wonderful performance. Great shout out!!!!!

“Captain” Kirk Douglas, guitar player for The Roots. One of the best to ever do it.

Absolutely!

marchatesyou1 there aren’t many bands that I wanted to see that I never got to see (I’ve been to probably a couple thousand shows in the past 30 years) but I never got a chance to see nuclear assault and I would have killed to see them.

Terrific thrash metal band.

Lol, I noticed that too! Makes sense, Nuclear Assault was from NY too. Seems the NY groups are pretty tight and support each other, even different genres. Like Anthrax was always sporting Beastie Boys and Public Enemy shirts on stage

I adore Nuclear Assault. They were singing about people wrecking the environment long before the world at large really gave a shit. So great to see the legend, MMM, supporting.

That's Captain Kirk of The Roots

First time seeing this and he was the best part

Oh yeah, he nailed it

Except that part is supposed to be on the bass

@@siractionslacks890 and it still sounds good so who gives an absolute shite about it

Mom you’re just jealous it’s the BEASTIE BOYS

♥️♥️ for each of you 🙃 me, too! ♥️

The first song I ever learned for myself was Paul Revere! I can still sing it word for word! And I learned it about 3 months after License to Ill came out!

I feel ya...I was in the same situation. Getting License To Ill and popping it in my walkman listening to it for hours over and over again. Then seeing the Beasties in concert 3 times together with A Tribe Called Quest... another great Hip Hop group pioneering the way like the Beastie Boys !!! The Beasties and ATCQ at Lollapalooza 94 is 1 of my best top 3 concerts ! The 94 Lollapalooza was the Beasties Ill Communication album coming out and ATCQs Midnight Marauders album coming out...both great albums ! Some good fond memories !!!

the teenage inside me is still mourning him, you know its sabotage

57 years here girl. Still bump this daily

I'm 50 year old white dude and still busting this rhyme gal ❤🎶🎶

Hells yeah

Tbh Travis Scott and to a lesser degree Kid Rock were kinda trash.

This sounds shit

DJ stole the show hands down the roots are no slouch too

Music has no colour

Said this all my life. There are musicians, and there are artists. Nuff said.

hahaha.. thank you for this.

Hahaha awesome

Haha, you the man!

same here man, "finite nature of time'

It’s called life…people die…

That is so true.

Didn’t even think of that. Great observation!

Yes, and what a long way we have come. Proud of that and hope to see more talents like Quest take those opportunities as well as bigger roles in popular media.

When he pens an artistic opus like "it's Raining Men" I will agree.

While that is true that quest love is in many places , the truth of the matter is thats the roots playing!

Yea that didn't age well.

They pretty much can. They were the band for Jay-Z unplugged. That was freaking awesome

The hiphop medleys they did with Fallon/Timberlake are the best thing ever.

Captain Kirk never disappoints 👍🏾

Travie did a SMASH up job!! So happy to see him get to do a tribute to the Beasties!!

4:51 hes using serato on a laptop, still dope tho!

tell me he didn't do MCA justice? Even Chuck D says KR is a big talent.

Their style can never be replicated. They are masters of the craft.

Most definitely!!!

The Roots are a great hip hop band, but Stetsasonic was the original hip hop band. Check out "Talking all that Jazz"

Sugar hill gang?

Late to this response but the sugar hill gang used a live band. Lets not forget Errol Eduardo Bedwardt AKA Pumpkin one of Hip Hip greatest percussionist. Hell the beastie Boys did an album playing their own instruments.

You guys know beastie boys played the instruments right?!

@@lonnielongino798Was about to say what you said beloved. Go Stetsa! 1988 Brooklyn...💯💯💯💪🏾

facts

@@RAID3R63...can u mix and scratch? if not stfu

@@GrizzlyAus I’m not sure you understand the term “facts”

@@iloverugby7901 sorry still asking?

Turntablist...please

Not really but he's the best of them all

Playing the bass on Sabotage is how I file the fingernails on my right hand.. its brutal!😁

Make yo body work!

@@kristinagilbert9448 could you link better performance of it for us?

Saw Kid bk when he was cool

That's Captain Kirk of The Roots. He's a fuckin' brilliant musician. Everyone in The Roots is, but Kirk And ?uestlove are legit geniuses.

They were, I'm 52 and from the UK 🇬🇧 and saw them 6 times over the years, unbelievably entertaining, switching lyrics spontaneously to suit where they were playing just fucking awesome 👌

@@spikeythings3493 46 from quebec, saw them live 3 times, best show bad brains was supposed to open for them but the singer had a sore throath or something so Beasties just went on and did every single song they had! Really some of the best entertainers i have ever seen live!

I saw them open for Run DMc in Hampton VA, one of the best shows I ever seen.

Saw them 3 times. Tibet Freedom Rally and twice on the tour they did on the revolving stage. Each time amazing. No other word for it

Saw them a couple times, but the best one was in LA, we bought tickets for way back on the lawn. But, some desperate soul came up to us and said he can sell us PIT tickets and we were like nah bro, look fake. He walked all the way up to the ticket entrance with us and sure enough, they were legit. He wanted $80 for each, we gave him $100 for each plus our lawn seat tickets. Was a great show.

No, no it wasn’t.

Yes, especially the rapping style where one begins the sentence, the second finishes it while the third one interjects single words. You need to have a flow as a group, not just as an individual.

Yeah sort of like a Lime to a Lemon. This was a disaster. MCA would agree. IMO

I saw Qbert, Mix Master Mike, Disk, and Shortkut for the first time at Storyville on Fulton street in San Francisco back in 2000 when I moved to SF. I don't think they were performing in 83/84 because they were children.

@@greghawkins1507 you have a sharp eye & sold historical knowledge my friend. Should have read, 93/94. Not the first time I’ve lost a decade. I blame decades of repetitively participating in questionable lifestyle choices. Well it’s totally rad that you saw them in arguably their heyday, there in the city, in a somewhat intimate setting. Experiencing epic live music of any sort is my favorite way to feel like I am participating in history. I miss live music. I sometimes feel concerned that the whole live music experience in general is history. I hope I’m just going through some temporary pandemic paranoia and the populace will quit politicizing the virus and put a covering over their ugly faces in order to slow down The destruction from this virus. Although at this point, the level of destruction seems equal to the levels of delusion of so many people. Sheesh. Sorry about that. Not sure how I strayed off track so quickly. Well actually....

@@ga0425 haha so understand my friend. What a fun time this was in SF. I barely made it moving to SF in December 99~January 2000. I was lucky enough to be connected to the electronic music scene before I moved here , and worked with folks like Naut Humon, Jonah Sharp, Daum Bentley and Gavin Hardkiss

Totally name dropping, but met Naut Humon at that show at Storyville, and met Mike as well being an Asphodel night. Two weeks later I met my hip hop hero Kool Keith at the Maritime Hall which was a massive shit show. He walked out and demanded the crowd to pass him flower or he would leave, and ironically that’s what happened.

Enlighten all of us

He melted my face.

The precision was ridiculous!

Yeah the lack of reaction was sad

@@AnthonyL0401 he used a(1) record to create a beat, he jumped the needle from snare and kicks to horns and keys scratchin without the help of a laptop. good luck to any popular contemporary djs to have that skill set today. (not saying they ain't out there, jus saying)

three in a million....

They're puttin' up numbers.

There's a tiny bit of "Shake Your Rump" in there if you listen closely.

@@weebunny Paul's Boutique would have been difficult to do live because there was SO much sampling. I mean, some songs had five or six different songs sampled. Personally, I am glad they tried to stay with the songs that were mainly original.

i mean. yeah

😂😂😂😂😂😂

100% correct my friend. He was the backbone of The Beastie Boys

@@douglasrisinger3285 They have been successful since the 80's. Long before Mix Master Mike. Yes Mix Master Mike is dope and a continuation of true B-boy culture.

Mix master mike is insanely talented. That said, the B-Boys were iconic years before Mike joined in to make Hello Nasty.

DJ Hurricane would have a few words to say bout that

Are you on drugs or having a stroke or both?

dude, even this shit was like 10 years after Kid Rock was popular. That one-hit wonder shouldn't be on stage and even in the same breathe as the beastie boys

@@alalalalalon lol,why so salty...kid rock dope

R.I.P. Malik B and Hub 😪

Agree that was not good enough.

That sucked the big one.

Travie & Kid Rock could’ve been replaced with better....

@@clintwaddell4482 you cant make everyone happy. i liked it

It was good enough but not long enough
