The Beasties are good for everyone!!
The Beasties are good for everyone!!
My teenager was recently alarmed to discover that I have a Beaste Boys CD - License to Ill. It doesn't fit with his view of his mom I guess for me to have that.
Trivia question - I got the CD due to a persistent referece to one of the song's lyrics here on the DBR during the 2001 basketball season. What was the song and lyric?
I’m a B-Boy ‘til I die. Paul's Boutique is one of my top-10 hip hop albums of all time. No doubt.

On Another Hip-Hop Note: My wife and I were ecstatic to see Prince Paul (classic hip-hop producer) is producing a kiddie hip-hop album. http://www.newsweek.com/id/130145.
We already have classical, pop, soul, ambient, rock, jazz, downtempo & blues music loaded on our baby room MP3 player (Grant Cameron Henderson is due July 08), but I was having a hard time putting together a nice selection of hip-hop. 80% of my initial hip-hop (and rock) selections was vetoed by my wife. Thank goodness for Prince Paul and the Dino 5!
I saw them that at Walnut Creek that year too. My friends and I skipped the first two days of school to see the show. It was a shame that they preceded the Smashing Pumpkins because there was no way the Pumpkins could've ever outplayed the Beasties. That show was phenomenal; one of those defining moments.
