DJ dL put together this tribute to the Beastie Boys at the beginning of the week. I didn’t get a chance to post it until now, but it makes for some great Saturday listening. 80 plus minutes of music from the Beastie Boys. Peep it below.
“I woke to the very sad news today that Adam Yauch aka MCA from the Beastie Boys had lost his battle with cancer. As many of you who would check this page would probably realize I am a music lover across many genres but hip hop is my first love, and the Beastie Boys were a huge influence on me when I was growing up. I still count Pauls Boutique amongst my most valuable (not in monetary sense obviously, but something far more important) records, not only because it was the record i listened to the most when my parents broke up, but I still to this day think the Dust Brothers production on that record was so far ahead of its time its not funny. I really dont know what else to say at this point, so I offer you this 90 minute mix of beastie boys classics, remixes and rareties, mixed live and predominantly off of vinyl (except for Tristan Dee’s great remix of An Open Letter To NYC available here Beastie Boys – An Open Letter To NYC – TD RMX by Tristan Dee) hope you enjoy.”
