RIP MCA… I remember “She’s On It!” on a TV station called U-68. It sounded like a surfer rock song but I was okay with that. I liked that sort of music. Then when the “Paul Revere/a-It’s The New Style” 12” single came out, it was a wrap, I was hooked on the Beasties. Hip Hop broke ground with mixtures of beats ti make brand new cutting edge beats and instrumentals. The entire background music played backwards. Who ever thought of that. The beat of the following song sounding like a hard rock song but it is throws you through a loop because the placement of the bass and snare are switched up a little bit. Since PE is uo there, might as well mention how “Rebel Without A Pause” shook things up. Hip Hop needs to get back to that. Ground breaking beats but not Ultimate Break Beats. That’s old.

Ehhhh, probably not. Beasies got in because they are an actual band. They're punk rock kids, playing instruments, who had a disturbing amount of rhythm. So much so that they had to create a new style to be classified. That style? Beastie Boy style. You can't categorize an original. LL, Biggie, and many others have certainly influenced music including some rock, and I F'in love them, but they are MCs with a mic, not musicians with an instrument.

Beastie Boys were an amazing group! They made some of the best hip hop albums of all time and each one was unique and well written and played! Their samples were on point, they were dumpster divers finding new and interesting sounds to pull from with a plethora of possibilities. The intelligence and talent that came through those albums and shows cannot be quantified. I could go on and on but in closing I would like to say a big Thank You to Adrock, Mike D and MCA (R.I.P)

Beastie Boys pushed the envelope of what music can be, they could rap like no other and play those instruments like no other, truly a one of a kind band. Musical geniuses as they influence music so much they were often the first to try it and have been copied ever since... as an example "flute loop" is so amazing, " hey! Give me a beat any beat ! I’ll rhyme to the beat and keep you on your feet" . Back in the day no one would have dared such a move but they rhymed over a flute loop... but again it’s just one example of their talent and if you don’t know about their album "the in sound from way out " you should listen to it since they all studied in music , and if you like a funky groove put on a seat belt.. sincerely in a musical sense, my life would probably feel empty without the beastie boys....

I love this... But if I would have been the guy thatcgave this speech to induct them? I'd have said it in ONE sentence... "They have ALWAYS been five years cooler than the rest of us ever realized!"
