| ___________________________________________ [May 4,2012 2:07pm - arillius_the_white ""] You think a bunch of bling bling inner city black guys would have the balls to admit the music they participate in was influenced by some scrawny white Jewish NYC kids in the 80s? The argument here is how they affected the development of a genre. I think the counter argument has no reason to be said. You're a fool for not realizing their importance. Give it up. |

| _____________________________ [May 4,2012 2:18pm - Lamp ""] Okay, with my asshole statement out of the way, the Beastie Boys were something I listened to and took enjoyment in as a kid. The news did startle me for a second because I hadn't heard anything about the guy's cancer, but when it comes down to it, the music just hasn't been relevant to me in ages. I briefly considered going back and listening to some of it but so much more of me was just like "nahhhh" that I didn't bother. 47/48 is too young to die. |
| __________________________________ [May 4,2012 2:20pm - nagoodak ""] I have been influenced by the Beasties. Paul's Boutique is proof of how good sampling can be. RIP I still say if rap isn't music than neither is metal. |

| ___________________________________________ [May 4,2012 2:21pm - arillius_the_white ""] Licensed to Ill ('86) was the first "rap" album to reach no.1 on US Billboards. YET NOBODY IS INFLUECED BY THEM, RIGHT? |
| _____________________________ [May 4,2012 2:22pm - Lamp ""] I think of rap as poetry set to a beat. Not really the most challenging genre from a structural soundpoint, I guess, but it still takes skill. I just HATE (and I mean really hate) the way it sounds. |
| ___________________________________ [May 4,2012 2:23pm - Alx_Casket ""] The new khand track does have some beastie boys influence, I take it all back. |
| __________________________________ [May 4,2012 2:23pm - arktouros ""] well technically it's not. rap isn't based on notes. it can't really be transcribed. yeah rap "contains" music but by the classical definition of music, it's not, whereas metal is. rap is still a temporal art. it's not devalued just because you can't call it "music". anyway it's a stupid timeless argument. rap is rap. |

| ___________________________________ [May 4,2012 4:50pm - arktourap ""] Missing my point. It's funny that people get offended by the fact that rap doesn't fit the classical definition of music. Rap has it's own definition. Go ahead and transcribe a rap song. You can't. Also lol again at the "if rap isn't then metal isn't either" chestnut. Don't get offended bros.

| ________________________________ [May 4,2012 5:19pm - RustyPS ""] This "if you don't play instruments, you don't play music" argument is so tired. The Beastie Boys were absolutely influential.

Sorry I didn't immediately respond, I was grocery shopping in Chinatown. I feel like the hip-hop world has acknowledged the Beastie Boys' influence plenty by SAMPLING THEM NONSTOP FOR DECADES, to the point where it didn't really need to be acknowledged out loud. (Except, it has been acknowledged, out loud and in print, by tons and tons and tons of artists in the field. Since the beginning. How you are not aware of this is another discussion entirely.) |
