here's another question - would anyone vote Ill Communication if "Get it Together" was removed?

a full record of "punk" rock songs like Time for Livin' could've been a Beastie Boys masterpiece:

I would vote Ill Comm tbh. I did hear it first mind you, and for some reason had The In Sound From Way Out before CYH so it never really worked for me in the same way as it might for others.But to me Ill Comm is just a brighter, poppier and less messy record. The entire first half is smash after smash, style after style - here's a party rocker BAM! Okay here's a hardcore song! BASH! Now let's do a crazy boss's nova BOSH! It pulls no punches whereas COY sounds sloppier to me, like a disorganised mixtape, which is maybe why a lot of people prefer it.

it's ok, but it doesn't have the fat-dirty sound of Time for Livin', and there are no melodies, only straight hardcore punk, so...

So Wikipedia says the "single" version of Get It Together doesn't feature Q-Tip, which seems ridiculous because he's the most essential part of that track, but I'm curious about it now. Anyone know what iteration of the single it was released that way? Has anyone heard it?

would be more predisposed to Ill Communication if they didn't overdo it w the distorted vocals so much. dunno why they were so enamored of that sound at the time.

finally copped the Ill Communication record and I just realized I've never actually heard the uncensored version, I bought the Walmart version which backmasked all the swears. it was actually kind of hilarious on "Get It Together" which had a couple lines that were just completely garbled. even the line "hey, I ain't got no dust (??)" was fucked with
anyway I thought this was clearly CYH but this record is awesome too. I loved how far out the instrumentals got. "Futterman's Rule" felt like the most badass thing on the planet when I was 14. and "Shambala" was like something out of The Lion King
