Beastie Boys are hip hop royalty! In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too! They don't make bad music, start from their first album and enjoy the ride! Their 1986 album Licensed to Ill is one of the best selling hip hop albums ever, first rap album to hit #1 on Billboard, their 2nd album Paul's Boutique is to me, the greatest album of all time! Check out Paul Revere, Shake Your Rump, Pass the Mic, Intergalactic, High Plains Drifter

They started from NYC as a punk rock band in the early 80's, but got into the hip hop scene by 1985. Beastie Boys were goofy, humorous and defined their own rap game... major respect for decades of making hip hop music.

Actually technically wrong. The Beasties started as a hardcore punk band, they had a 4th member, a female drummer. Only after hearing the first hip hop artists coming Downtown from The Bronx, they started to also rap/play hip hop. Let's say they were very very early adopters, but super successful groups like Run DMA were already legends when the Beasties started. Their first live shows would be split in two parts, a hardcore punk one, and a hip hop one. Later in their careers, when already established as one of the very best best hip hop groups, they also released an instrumental album and a punk rock one. Just becayuse they could.

If you wanna write a wiki about it yeah it's a little more involved then my one sentence.

They’re also one of the most influential hip-hop groups of all time. The Beasties were a big part of the success of LL Cool J and Public Enemy, Pick any rapper, rap crew, or rap group, trace what they do back, and there’s a 99% chance that the Beasties were an influence somewhere along the line.

I'm astonished any hip-hop fan no matter how young has never heard of the Beastie Boys. They're like The Beatles of hip-hop -- they weren't the first but they were early in the game, one of the most influential and transformative, and they were a major force in bringing the genre into the mainstream. As for how long they've been around, they formed around 1982 as a punk band, the roots of which you can still hear in a number of their later songs. They transitioned to hip-hop around 1985 or so, and their first full-length album dropped in late 1986.

These guys were one of the founding acts of Def Jam Recordings. Beasties, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, and a bunch of other hip hop acts. Def Jam even released Slayer's (one of the Big 4 thrash metal bands) first album? First 2 albums? Anyway, think about the Beastie Boys as the Larry Bird of hip hop. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll HoF by LL Cool J and Chuck D.

Slayer released their third and fourth albums on Def Jam, then they moved over to Rick Rubin’s Def American label after Rick and Russel Simmons split the label over creative differences. Their first two albums that only hardcore Slayer fans even listen to, were on Metal Blade. I’m a huge Slayer fan and the first two are probably the ones I listen to the least. I can at least understand why you would think it was their first two though. Decent memory there Chris.

"Ain't no tellin' how long they been out?!?" They've been out of New York since the mid 1980s, with their first album License to Ill. First cassette tape I ever bought with my allowance money for doing chores around the house! If you like old-school hip-hop, you desperately need to hear "3 MCs and 1 DJ" and "Paul Revere" and "Brass Monkey"! It's so good as an old-school fan, to see someone new just discover their style of music and get into it!

I know that I'm a little late to the comments here, but I'll try to give you a little Beastie Boys history. They started out in a Punk Rock band and can play their own instruments. Their first album came out in 1986 and I saw them in concert in 1987. Their first big hit was "Fight for You Right". They went on to continue making hip hop music for many years, but did slip some rock in here and there to continue with their roots. They were produced by Rick Rubin and on the Def Jam label. In April of 2012, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I was lucky enough to attend the concert/induction ceremony. They discovered LL Cool J and he gave the induction speech. Since MCA (Adam Yauch) was dealing with Cancer, the Beastie Boys did not perform and Travie McCoy, Black Thought and Kid Rock did the performance part of the induction. The following month, MCA lost his battle with Cancer. The Beastie Boys are one of my favorite music artists because their music was always fun, never heavy or malicious.

The Beastie Boys have been around for over 30 years!!! It was the late 1980's and I was in my late 20's, at The Cadillac in Orange County, CA with my husband, Steve. The place was packed and the DJ was tossing merch to the most enthusiastic among us. Steve made enough noise that the DJ frisbee'd an actual LP to him, which we put on the turntable as soon as we got home that night. "What the hell is a Brass Monkey?!?" we wondered as we heard the Beastie Boys for the first time. I turn 60 next year and still love the hell out of these guys!!

They were pioneers in the genre, and they did things back then that you can't get away with anymore without paying millions to clear samples. I remember listening to Pauls Boutique and trying to find every sample on that record. What a Frankenstein of sounds man.....just one of a kind classic and they just kept getting better over time.

Paul Revere and Brass Monkey are two my favorites from their album License to Ill. They started in 81, stopped in 2012 due to death of a member. The entire Paul’s Boutique album is highly regarded. They are mainly hip hop, but mix in a ton of genres into the hip hop flow. They were the innovators of modern sampling and in fact won a law suit that is the basis for the entire sampling process used today. In many ways they created what modern rap/pop is through this sampling initiative.

The Beastie boys were before almost every rapper out there, even being sampled by N.W.A. They and only a couple others made hip hop mainstream and put it in every household in America. The only other music like this at the time on the radio was Run DMC and LL cool J. Or one hit wonders. So heat for being white was next to non existent. It was a different time then when democrat politicians and media were not pushing the race narrative for votes. History destroys cultural appropriation and makes those that embrace it just look ignorant.
