Beastie Boys : Paul's Boutique |
|
|
Genre: Rap |
Dates: 1989 |
With Licensed to Ill, Adrock, Mike D, and MCA mated Led Zep with hip-hop (and a dash of the Marx Brothers and minstrelsy), proved white kids could too rap, made a million dollars, and pissed off the straights. Topping that was unthinkable, but, in retrospect, many of their most loyal fans prefer this, the follow-up. Wanna test your cultural literacy? Catalogue the musical and verbal references here, make yourself a quiz, and see if you've been left behind. (Check the following link for answers: http://www.moire.com/beastieboys/samples/index.php). Perhaps their greatest trick on this record was getting smarter without losing their winning irreverence.
