The early line-up consisted of Adam Yauch, Michael Diamond, Kate Schellenbach, and John Berry. Though the group played together for a few years and released an EP entitled Polly Wog Stew, Berry and Schellenbach eventually left.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Getting Into Hip Hop<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Beastie Boys released their first hip hop track, \u201cCooky Puss,\u201d in 1983 shortly after Adam Horowitz joined the band. The song\u2019s underground success brought more rap into the trio\u2019s live sets, and prompted them to adopt hip hop stage names: Yauch as MCA, Diamond as Mike D and Horowitz as Ad-Rock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Rap Debut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1985, the EP Rock Hard was released on Def Jam Records, and this marked the band\u2019s rap debut. The Beastie Boys continued to gain exposure by playing shows and even contributed to the soundtrack of the movie, \u201cKrush Groove,\u201d with the song, \u201cShe\u2019s On It.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Number-One Rap Record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their first full-length album was 1986\u2019s Licensed to Ill. It became the first rap record to hit number-one on the Billboard 200, and was the best-selling rap effort of the 1980s. The positively reviewed Licensed to Ill contained satire, street beats, and b-boy jokes, and also produced one of their best-known songs, \u201c(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0\u00abPaul&#8217;s Boutique\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a controversial 1987 tour that was plagued with arrests and lawsuits, the trio signed with Capitol Records. Their next album was 1989\u2019s sample-heavy Paul\u2019s Boutique. Though this album was not initially as successful as their previous release, it went on to become a landmark album for hip hop due to its varied lyrics and sounds. Its lead single was the top forty tune, \u201cHey Ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Crossover Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Beasties\u2019 next album, Check Your Head, dropped in 1992 on the group\u2019s own label, Grand Royal. The band decided to play their own instruments this time around. This allowed them to get back to their punk rock roots, and experiment with others genres like funk and jazz. Peaking at the tenth position of the Billboard chart, Check Your Head spawned the rap and modern rock crossover hit, \u201cSo What\u2019cha Want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0\u00abIll Communication\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two years later, a compilation called Some Old Bullshit was released, and this album featured their early punk recordings. This was followed by Ill Communication, which gave the Beastie Boys their second number-one album. It received mostly favorable reviews, and generated the rap-core single, \u201cSabotage,\u201d which was accompanied by a Spike Jonze-directed music video.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Live Shows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prior to the release of their 1998 album, Hello Nasty, the Beastie Boys played several shows. Some of the most notable of these were their 1994 co-headlining set at Lollapalooza and the 1996 Tibetan Freedom Concert, which was organized by the Beasties\u2019 own MCA in support of the cause of Tibetan independence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0\u00abHello Nasty\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Featuring the contributions of turntablist Mix Master Mike, Hello Nasty melded together different genres and premiered at number-one on the Billboard chart. The Grammy-winning record yielded the popular track, \u201cIntergalactic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Solo Records<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1999, their first compilation of greatest hits, b-sides and rarities, 1999\u2019s Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds of Science came out. The trio then spent the next few years working on projects outside of the band, including solo records and supporting political causes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Self-Produced Record and Concert Film\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The record, To the 5 Boroughs, dropped in 2004. The self-produced number-one album featured the successful single, \u201cCh-Check It Out.\u201d Two years later, the Beastie Boys released the concert film, \u201cAwesome; I Fuckin\u2019 Shot That!\u201d which was recorded during their sold-out Madison Square Garden show. The movie was compiled using footage from audience members who had been given cameras to shoot the entire performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Instrumental Effort<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2007, the band released The Mix-Up, which was an album that consisted entirely of instrumental performances. This record won the Beastie Boys another Grammy. The release of the trio\u2019s next album was then delayed to allow MCA to undergo cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\u00a0\u00abHot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2 finally came out in 2011. The record once again featured sampling and the mixing of genres. Its first single was \u201cToo Many Rappers,\u201d and it garnered the group a Grammy nomination. That same year, the Beasties released the short film, \u00abFight For Your Right Revisited,\u00bb filled with celebrity appearances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022\u00a0One of the Most Successful Hip Hop Acts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With multiple number-one albums under their belt, as well as popular hits in more than one musical genre, the Beastie Boys are one of the world\u2019s most successful and longest-lived hip hop acts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/culture\/music\/music-news\/9246956\/Beastie-Boys-founder-member-Adam-Yauch-dies-aged-47.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-23004\" src=\"http:\/\/englishroam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/RIP.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"57\" height=\"56\" \/><\/a>\u2192 B B founder member Adam Yauch dies aged 47\u00a0\u00a0[May 2012]\u21d2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2666 Fight For Your Right (To Party) \u2193 \u00abNow boys, don&#8217;t get into any trouble while mummy and daddy are gone.
