Came to post this...:( RIP

I'm at a loss

I cried a little. The Beasties let the Jewish youth of America (TM) know that we too could be cool! I could give you countless high school/college memories of which their music was an integral part.

:( I was not expecting to receive this information.

So sad! The Beasties are right around my age and I first discovered them in college (shortly after Mike D was booted from Vassar). From LTI to HSCP2, they could never strike a sour note in my eyes.

:( I love The Beasties.

I think the Beastie Boys were integral in moving rap from underground, strictly black urban youth, to a mass market sound that could be everything from gangsta rap to comedy. And I think they were successful at least in party because they didn't try to be Jewish black guys. It will be interesting to see where the other 2 guys go from here. I'm imagining a Dave Grohl style rebirth.
