RIP Adam Yauch/MCA of the Beastie Boys

D-Nice called himself "the TR-808" a lot
Tbf he did say you could just call him d nice

so Pete Nice was named after a guy named after a drum machine, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

wait, there a d-nice and a pete nice? so confusedd

Also I knew davy dmx but not human dmx

Though I think it's kinda weird for pete nice to drop it in there and have ppl not assume he's talking about DMX....dude had been around for awhile before he blew up, with that born loser stuff, but it's not out of the possibility that a really young dmx and just could have performed together

Edward III, it's ready to get them confused, just remember pete nice was the prime minister of canada at the the time and also rapped in the ny scene, camron and company did a concept album about his life called ”diplomatic immunity”

Though I think it's kinda weird for pete nice to drop it in there and have ppl not assume he's talking about DMX....

to be fair it was a Deadspin editor's job to clean this up, not Pete Nice's

Pete Nice probably forged the anecdote like he forges baseball memorabilia amirite

said editor probably didn't know there was any other DMX's

listening to "Goin' Way Back" right now...this is one of the best rap songs ever

75 and the Black Spades

my 2 favorite ppl in that song are Muscleman Ron and the homie Zignaut

what happened to this beautiful thread

yeah "going way back" is an all-time jam

what did you guys DO while I was asleep, jeez

sparked a Davy DMX revival and got schooled on the ways of old bluesmen.

Worse ways to spend an evening imo

Nicky Wire dissed the Beastie Boys in the press and even in song

Probably wasn't worth it, bringing 3rd Bass into the thread.

I'm glad I was asleep

xx-post
he was punished for that by having to wear a banana suit though

I was thinking this morning about MCA, and how his gruff voice would have transformed really well into old age.

Never thought graffiti would make me tear up.

OMG

Just watched that. Nuts.

yeah that's great! a friend of mine is pals w/ the dad.

That's awesome, but they could not have picked a less MCA-centric track, bass aside.

The bass is that song though, ad much as the suspenders and mustaches.

so great, thanks for posting that phil, made my day!

errrrr, maybe a bit too much now.

cool

uhhh at logo

I'm sure Yauch would rather these people spend some time reading up on Tibetan oppression or do a shift at a soup kitchen, but I'm not gonna deny people the opportunity to deal with his death in a way that makes them comfortable.

re: Sabotage not being Yauch enough--the video is the definitive Nathaniel Hornblower Production, so there's that

"Sabotage" video is credited to Jonze, not Hornblower (whereas "Sure Shot" is credited to both)

yeah, there's the misconception lately but it was definitely a Jonze video

aha I stand corrected

This short Q&A between Fricke and Adam Horovitz made me choke up again.

I blame Scik Mouthy for pointing it out on twitter

When we were in Los Angeles, doing Paul's Boutique, he got this crazy apartment in Koreatown. And he made "A Year and a Day." What happened to the three of us together and all that crap? But I heard that track, and it was some heavy shit. He rapped his ass off. Adam bought a jet pilot's helmet, rigged it with a microphone and recorded the song wearing that helmet.

;_;

I love the bit about the tree. "Anything is better than that tree."

that tree is dope, I had a poster of it on my wall.

good morning.

i wanna give thanks to Mike Kearny for putting together MCA DAY yesterday.

i feel like a bunch of us been walking around lonely bumping into walls.

you got us together, outside and in the sunshine. thank you.
