Adam Yauch Beastie Boys Co-Founder Adam Yauch Dead at 48

I just turned on the TV and they're airing the Futurama episode with the Beasties in it...

Just gonna' leave this here. Love the cameo at the end.

Mike D and Ad-Rock retire at this point, I'd say Hot Sauce Committee is a helluva last album. Lyrics are sharp as ever, the beats sound like classic Beasties but feel current/fresh... still on top 3 decades later. Love this line from Too Many Rappers:

[Ad-Rock]

Oh, my God, just look at me

Grandpa been rappin' since '83

Also....

[MCA]

Yo, I been in the game since before you was born

I might still be MCin' even after you're gone

Strange thought, I know, but my skills still grow

The 80's, the 90's, 2000's, and so

On and on until the crack of dawn

Until the year 3000 and beyond

Stay up all night, and I MC and never die

Cause death is the cousin of sleep

<3

MCA where have you been?

Packed like sardine in a tin.

I got more rhymes then I got grey hair, and that's a lot because I got my share.

been hearing that line every time I look in the mirror since a year or so :)

one of the good guys... what can you say he rocked. Didn't think it was possible to be sad and listen to the Beastie Boys at the same time. RIP MCA.

As have mentioned elsewhere. This fucking sucks.

My point was to say that i am devastated by our loss. That album is one of my keystone musical understandenings. And i felt blessed that someone had upped it.

gutted!

Something's got to give

Someday we shall all be one
