I'm really not a fan of the
Beastie Boys
. As musicians, they don't really hold a candle to either punk greats or jazz commoners, and as lyricists and rappers, while their flow reminds us of early-80s Brooklyn greats, they too often fail to achieve the level of intellectual stimuli their forefathers brought to the table. In my humble opinion, of course.
And I will admit there are a few exceptions to that, namely
Sabotage
and
Intergalactic
. But seeing them live in 1998 was one of the worst live show experiences I've ever had.
However, whether it's for their best singles or their so-so ones, one thing remains a
Sure Shot
: their videos will fucking rule. Another fine example is this one,
Make Some Noise
, which features a list of guest celebrities a mile long. How many can you name?
