The real NYC Anthem. This stunning performance makes me shed some tears. RIP Adam. Thanks for initiating us punk kids to the beauty of hip hop beats and flows.

the beasties are one of rare cases of artists that after 20 years in the music business were still genuinely having a lot of fun rather than being worn-out by the machine of the industry. maybe because they have always been true to themselves, and only did what they liked. managing to live life like that, never losing the playfulness we had as kids, is precious.

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten, from the Battery to the top of Manhattan. Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin. Black, White, New York you make it happen...

This is one of the ultimate NYC songs - from the lyrics to the Dead Boys sample. Yes yes y'all.

R.I.P MCA still hurts!!!!

RIP Brooklyn soldier MCA

The BEASTIE BOYS changed my life! Today is MCA day! MCA Day is a Brooklyn-based fan-organized event intended to provide a space to honor and celebrate the life, music and legacy of Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch. R.I.P. ( RAP IN PARADISE ) MCA. 😎

The best letter..

This. This is everything

Saw that performance live on TV and just thought: "Damn, these guys still kick ass and are so lucky to represent their beloved NYC in the coolest way, live and direct on TV!" Next I bought the album, which is great and has great Artwork! God I miss them... *feeling tears comin up*

New york citizens should be very proud bout this😎

Beastie boys showing you that their are as real as the best of the best of the original 80s hip hop ,rap groups, people need to understand that these guys earned their stripes on the road with run DMC ,ll cool j etc etc, love the Beastie boys albums, everyone of them.

Damn, it was so hard to find this vid some time ago. Someone had put it on youtube like 2 years ago, but then it was deleted, and I couldn't find it anymore, nowhere. Now it's here, in better quality, and I am so happy about that :) IMO tha's the best live performance of Beastie Boys. First time i saw this live on tv (2004 MTV music awards in Rome as far as I remember), and I loved it! Thank you glorymorniing!
