'BEASTIE BOYS' MCA Dead at 47
Quote:
"Beastie Boys" rapper MCA -- real name Adam Yauch -- has died.
In 2009, MCA announced he was being treated for a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node. He has since undergone surgery and radiation therapy.
So far, it's not clear if the death is related to the rapper's battle with cancer.
Russell Simmons' website GlobalGrind.com first reported the death. We have spoken to people independently connected to the rapper who also say he is dead.

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.

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 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.
