https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCyqR2RXoQU Spike Jonze (Sabotage, Sure Shot, Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win) made what's being called a 'live documentary' about Beastie Boys and their 30-year career from their start as a four-piece hardcore punk outfit to Rock and Roll Hall of Famers (for rap). It looks to be a combination dialogue between the two surviving members and rare clips of the group, showcasing the evolution of the last of the golden-age hip-hop outfits. I know I bought an iPhone SE PARTIALLY so I could watch this projected from my device to a TV, but I'd be watching this movie even if the camera on my current phone still worked. Streams April 24th (probably) worldwide.

Good point. Public Enemy is still technically together though drat it. Never a Beastie Boys fan but I will watch anything Spike Jonze has so much as pissed on so I'm in. I'm interested in hip hop and its history in general so I'm sure I'll enjoy learning new poo poo about the beginnings of Def Jam and early acts that influenced the boys and stuff like that.

Having watched the doc, I'd say the main improvement could have been talking about anything that happened after 1998. Still pretty good.

Sugarhill Gang does DJ sets at state fairs these days. Anyway, besides the point, how is this? I heard it's like a TED Talk and I'm like a middle grade Beastie Boys fan so just gauging if I'll get much out of it.

I was always a very casual fan of the Beastie Boys, but when MCA passed away it was a very formative moment for me. I realized that If you like these bands, you really need to go see them in concert because one day Poof, they're gone. Since then I've gone to many more live shows and I think I've enjoyed the music all the more for it.

I too was a casual fan who discovered License of Ill in college and largely had only got into that album ( hard ) and then skipped to Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. Still, I remember the exact place I was when I learned MCA died. Used to go to an IRC and played online Tetris against someone who was apparently their first road manager, who unfortunately took his own life, and who I would only learn worked with a sick band years later when Paul Revere came on the radio and I had to discover more.

I listened to Paul's Boutique for the first time in almost 20 years on an eight mile walk the other day and spent the entire time mouthing the lyrics and air banding like an absolute tool. It was wonderful. I need to watch this again.
