Mike D is the coolest dude in the room 😎
Dude looks like he just emerged from a mid-1990''s k-hole.
The Beastiality Boys 😂
What about the anniversary of cookiepuss? Everybody talks about license to ill, i hardly hear anyone mention cookiepuss
😜
Mike D – musical genius
Mike D is the absolute identical twin to my 93yr old grandmother that died in 2018. It’s truly uncanny. I can’t unsee it.
GOAT
Wow! I’m old! 😂 But so glad to have lived during some of the beat music of all time! Thanks for everything you gave, Mike D and the boys!
Legendary artist right there. The cassette tape is an incredibly beastie idea. Huge fan.
🎶🎵The Mike stands for Money and the D is for Diamonds 🎶🎵
If Tig Nataro & Perry Ferrel had a baby. ❤
Jimmy, beastie boys always dressed goofy. It was part of their persona
Is that a pizza slicer pendant and a shovel pendant hanging from his chain in that picture?
What do you expect!?! From Bob Dylan? I love the Beasties, but Bob Dylan is Bob Dylan!!! So stpp making comparisons, just be greatful that your even mentioned in the same sentence with Bob Dylan!!!
Actually, the dude from "A horse with no name" is no longer referred to as "America". He's been renamed "Canada" by retired former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien. And so was the horse, which now bares the name "Canada".
Now it's "A horse named Canada" by "Canada". Thank you.
Of course it was the first Rap album ever to reach #1 on Billboard. In a racist society it will always be some white dude. Damn shame.
I grew up on the B-Boys. Excellent group.
Yeeeeeeaaa beastie boys are real rap
Legend
The record store/parking lot shows and the cassettes is because Mike’s a punk doing punk rock things, just like how he got started.
Heading to Oprahs
I mean I saw the video of him doing So What'cha Want under a little tent in someone's backyard and it was awesome. And by the way the design on that album and cassette is amazing!
These guys are still alive? Fawww thought they were finally gone.
What a legend
I wore OUT my licenses to ill tape! ❤
I “saw” the beastie boys live in Glastonbury but I was so high on mushrooms I was facing the audience the whole time instead of the stage because people’s faces were so cool. lol
Beastie Boys 4 Life! RIP MCA 🕯🎤
Beastie boy legend xx
6:34 man no one gave it up for the SP lol
Oasis last year, Mike D this year. The world is healing.
Why does the crowd applaud every other spoken fucking line? lol There's like zero chance for a genuine conversation to happen
I just heard this story in the Beastie Boys audiobook! An amazing book that everyone should read btw, it's like a musical journey and all the guests reading chapters is amazing
If you need a little cry, watch the Beastie Boys Story doc. ❤
Sat the Beasties on the Check Your Head Tour and one other time. Got to see Mike D do a DJ set at Riot Fest a few years ago.
