emelius Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Posted May 4, 2012 I'd like to point out that Rolling Stone isn't the authority on maths... Dead at 47, the story should read... My apologies...
blessingx Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Fun old links are showing up. Skip to goat... http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/20/arts/20MAIL.html
acidbasement Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 My goodness, this is a shock! Sad news indeed.
Knuckledragger Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Damn, dude. That sucks. MCA was the "thinking man's Beastie."
Voltron Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Cancer sucks. Beasties ruled, and I practically wore out my Licensed to Ill record back in the day. They were great fun live, too. Rap In Peace, MCA.
blessingx Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 "The Beastie Boys tore down the walls that existed between rock and rap and did so with such crazy grace and seamless groove that nobody noticed until the deed was done and music fans were left wondering what hit them. Even people who up-until-then had no place for hip-hop in their lives, found themselves smitten. And the hardcore haters were musically bum-rushed so swiftly by the sonic velociraptors from NYC that resistance was futile. Everybody ended up coming to the party and found it worth fighting for." http://ow.ly/1LGwpf
skullguise Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Sad news, I especially admired the work he did for Tibet and other charities. RIP.....

blessingx Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Also don't forget the film company he founded produced some of the best American films of recent years including last years Meek's Cutoff. On Netflix. Smart man. Adam Yauch / MCA / Nathanial Hornblower. Edited May 5, 2012 by blessingx
