?uestlove of the Roots talks about the Beastie Boys 

mix master mike with the SCRATCH ROU-TINE

Sweeter than a jelly powdered ready with whipped topping!

Kan, that some real shit!

Twinkies!

If you ever watch one more Questlove video...watch Questlove vs Nardwaur. It’s the most epic interview of music history and culture you will ever witness.

He is the matt pinfield of hip hop. Their knowledge is unmatched.

Literally everything out of this guy’s mouth, ever, is something I didn’t know.

@@KickflipGnasty He did not misspoke. He was talking about Mike D on the _The Party's Gettin Rough_ The B-side for _Rock Hard_ having a thick accent which is true.

Super intelligent and knowledgeable, no question, but if you haven't heard RA The Rugged Man talk about hip hop history, it's on the same tip.

Same. I never thought of the analgous context of both of them.

I’m curious which black rock n roll artists he’s referring to. I know Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino were all featured on their album covers…

@@KickflipGnasty before or after they had already attained an audience

@@tokiwartooth95 I have no clue. That’s why I’m curious whom he’s referencing

It’s from sample from the movie beat street ❤

Chad Long I'm dead. 😂

hahhahahahahahahahahah

What’s up Ben Decko?!

Racism is hilarious ain’t it.

@@mumbles215 the music on your page is garbage btw

First reply

WE ALL LOVE THE BEASTIES,, PERIOD!, we are first generation to grow up on Hop, WE ALL WENT NUTS! #GENxSTANDUP #BEASTIEbeHOP 💯👈🏾 #FOevea I was in 8th grade, and I am 53 now......I BE BEASTIE 👈🏾💯

talent respects talent. color is only relevant to the jealous talentless.

I thought you were crazy, so I had to look up, the partys getting rough. so here's thr story. I spent 20 years easily trying to find the beastie groove because I loved it as a kid. I grew up, just as ?uestlove, in philly and I listened to the very same street beat with lady b which he is referencing. I have the very tape in my attic. the reason for the confusion, the played track on street beat mashed the 2 tracks giving the impression that snip was on beastie groove. I spent 20 years trying to find the reference to berzootie anywhere on the internet related to beastie groove. the only to find, is that tape in the attic because as you said, the skit was on a different track. not to us philly boys that listened to that street beat tho.

@@roberthandzus4066 Salute brother!! I am very fortunate to have that record in my Collection. I have to record it and transfer it digitally and upload it to my channel. I may even create an edit of those tracks. And yes, it's a very obscure and mysterious record from the Beastie Boys by far. It was pulled very quickly due to their unauthorized use of Back In Black by AC DC for the track called Rock Hard. They also cut up the first guitar note in "The Partys Gettin Rough" throughout the track along with samples from Led Zeppelin and a few others that sound like Jimi Hendrix. Again, not sure who actually did the cuts, although Rick Rubin was their first show DJ, its unclear if he actually had done those cuts or had someone else do them. Possibly Jazzy Jay, or someone else. Who knows,,I would love to know the back story of that EP in depth. Salute once again!

Questlove. You're not in the house.

Questlove. you're not in the house.

They didn't make pioneering hardcore music.

I'd love to see Mike and Ad Rock go the Trent Reznor route and start scoring films

@@nateputerbaugh5709 that would be interesting 🤔

blonde with blue eyes too

And Biggie Smalls is Rhyming up there too with his homies from Brooklyn about his days coming up in the hood! Just trying to make a living sling rock! Because he didn't have a mean jump shot. Just trying to take care of his kids. You know when you know.....

I honestly think 3rd Bass is wack. Referring to the Beasties as 'counterfeit' and 'poser' when they were the ones who had their own style and image, meanwhile Serch and Pete Nice desperately tried to sound/look like your typical mainstream rappers. They desperately tried to sound and look black...it's just so embarrassing.

The 🌵

Called them out for leaving Def Jam - 3rd Base beefed with the Beasties when they joined Def Jam after the Beastie Boys jumped to Capitol. Then they immediately faded into one-hit wonder obscurity (and even their one "hit" just piggy-backed on Vanilla Ice's infamy).

@@lttfan9185 ya 3rd base had way to high opinions of themselves.

@@tric5122 That's the impression I instantly got from them. For some reason they thought because they were trying to be like every other black crew that that gave them more credibility, when it really did the exact opposite.

3rd Bass tried to call out Beastie Boys, I forgot what they said, but MCA shut them down hard on the song Professor Booty. MCA’s whole verse was about 3rd Bass and it was glorious. He called them out but never mentioned them by name. He pointed out that MC Serch would dance in his videos like Janet Jackson. Saying 3rd Bass was just biting Beastie Boys and then calling them out for it. It was a great verse. “So many wack emcees, you get the TV bozak Ain't even gonna call out your names 'cause you're so wack, And one big oaf, who's faker than plastic, A dictionary definition of the word spastic You should have never started something that you couldn't finish 'Cause writin' rhymes to me is like Popeye to spinach I'm bad ass, move ya' fat ass, 'cause you're wack, son Dancing around like you think you're Janet Jackson Thought you could walk on me to get some ground to walk on I'll put the rug out under your ass as I talk on I'll take you out like a sniper on a roof Like an emcee at The Fever in the DJ booth With your headphones strapped, you're rockin' rewind/pause Tryin' to figure out what you can do to go for yours But like a pencil to a paper, I got more to come One after another, you can all get some So you better take your time, and meditate on your rhyme 'Cause your shit'll be stinkin' when I go for mine And that's right, y'all, don't get uptight, y'all You can't say shit because you're biting what I write, y'all And that's wrong, y'all, over the long haul You can't cut the mustard when you're fronting it all” But still, even tho 3rd Bass were fronting on a few levels, their album ‘ The cactus album’ had a few songs that were ok. It had a few good moments, but they never came anywhere close to the innovation and dope-ness of Beastie Boys.

criticized/dissed them. i think the dumbass in 3rd bass implied they were fake rap or some other total bullshit. MCA answers/crushes him in his verse in "Professor Booty." the dude got his ass handed to him by MCA.

endocry yeah they dissed them but beasties bit back on check ya head " dancing around like ya Janet Jackson" aimed at MC serch lol

Whos 3rd bass? Hahaha everyone knows 40 beastie songs. Wait who is what doesnt matter all about beastie fuck whatever that some shit other band was

Beastie boys dissed 3rd Bass on 'professor booty' Nice diss too by MCA

I love BBoys and I like 3rd Bass. The story of Serch going to talk to Mike D and then leaving his apt. and Mike D throwing shit out of his window at him, is top notch.

MC Serch was actually dope but he was mad weird, he brought some great artists to the industry that no one would expect (specifically Non-Phixion) .

Wrong. Paul's Boutique.

@@redskinsxvii I believe he's saying 3rd Bass was weak, not the Beasties.

It's a Afro Hair pick, used to keep his hair fluffed.

White Noise They were starting to go off hardcore/punk rock anyways, if their first record wasn't what it was, they might not have lasted as long.

Beastie Boys were punk rock first.

I don't care what genre of music the Beastie boys started out at, they found their footing in Hip Hop. They changed the way recordings were produced. A lot of black folks in the 70s and 80s started in Funk and R&B that evolved to Rap.

@@BonusEggs4Sale Really ? Like what? What did White people steal from Black people that has benefited the rest of the world?

Ha a year later sry...The whole thing about them being white was that Russel Simmons dared them to try and enter the hip hop culture..They did and blew the lid off...

Found the racist

Pretty shallow take, bub. And: you might get more respect if you spell the word "no" correctly.
