funkiest jewish dudes to ever come out of nyc i'll tell you that!

[JizzInMyPants]

its a fact, without these guys....eminem wouldnt had come out...so im all for them

[Apocalyptic Raids]

paul's boutique is pretty good.

also intergalactic is so nostalgic for me. love that song.

[ATM]

Yeah I probably like Paul's Boutique the best. I'll always like these guys even though I don't listen to them much now.

[niobium]

amazing people

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

they are pretty sweet tbh

i wouldnt say no to listen to them u no

[CaptainWaits]

They're pretty sick. My favorite thing of theirs is actually The Mix Up, which is more of a jazz-funk album than anything, them just laying down grooves. I love it. But they've released some intense songs in their time, and in my opinion they can't be overlooked.

[pixiesfanyo]

Mix Master Mike is probably one of the most important DJs ever.

plus dude can STILL tear it up which is impressive for one of the original DefJam artists.

[niobium]

their new album is probably my most anticipated of this year

i couldn't tell you why i'm just really excited

[Skyler]

i like paul's boutique a lot. i haven't really heard anything else they've done, aside some a few singles here and there.

[Cocaine]

i voted hate because im ignorant and choose to stay that way for now

[Manic_]

Ill Communication and Check Your Head are my favorites

[Iai]

Outisde Paul's Boutique they've always been over-rated, but having said that you could easily make a 2-disc set by them where EVERY track is a classic banger. So.....love/hate I suppose.

[JohnXDoe]

any Licensed To Ill fans? thats a pretty damn good album. pretty influential, too. put the beasties and rick rubin on the map. lots of good hard rock samples on there

i saw kid rock trying to take credit for all that. it was an lol

Paul's Boutique is overrated itself

[Skyler]

maybe a little. it's still ****ing great though.

Licensed to Ill is awful. :(

[Iai]

I dunno, I reckon it's exactly the right amount of 'rated'. I mean it's not some huge blockbuster record that makes reader-voted top 100 lists or whatever, but at the same time, the heads recognize it as a classic. That seems right to me. It's one of the 100 best hip-hop albums ever but not one of the top 10.

[JohnXDoe]

Licensed to Ill is awful
album has some killer tracks 'tho :confused:

[Iai]

It has 2 killer tracks. That's the same as most Limp Bizkit albums.

[JohnXDoe]

i like these

She's Crafty
Girls
Slow Ride
Fight For Your Right
No Sleep 'til Brooklyn
Paul Revere
Brass Monkey
Posse In Effect
Rhymin' & Stealin'
Hold It Now Hit It

[niobium]

i liked check your head

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Well, No Sleep til Brooklyn and Fight For Your Right

I used to own that album, thought the rest of the album was disappointing.

[christsimpson]

they are awesome. especially their hardcore stuff.

[comity]

their hardcore stuff was awful of course youd like it

[Mute Print]

I don't know a lot of their stuff outside of the singles, but I've always enjoyed them.

[Kyle]

I can see why people would dislike them, they've release a lot of crap, but I'd they've released at least two classic albums.

The Mix Up though, wtf?

[SgtPrimus]

Hello Nasty is my favorite.

[simpleserenade89]

love em, cant knock uhm.

[pick 6]

absolutely love them. they changed the game for the better, and are totally underappreciated.

[nevertoolate]

So watcha watcha watcha want???

[Badmoon]

I'm not too fond of them -- but I do not hate them.

"Brass Monkey" and "You've Gotta Fight" (?) are two of the most annoying sounding songs I've ever heard. However, there are many songs I do enjoy by the Beastie Boys.

I do respect them for what they have accomplished though.
