••• BEASTIE BOYS - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two •••

there are WAY too many bands from that era still around making music. every metal band and every punk band that ever put out a single or an album in the 80's is right now on tour. hey we all have to pass the time somehow. god bless them.

This is funny, but also nsfw if your workplace is weird about dirty words:

^ this is THE SHIT!

as usual it would be better if they werent on there

Watched the new video the other night. Mostly reinforced how much I fucking hate Danny McBride.

agh I posted it in the wrong thread...full Fight For Your Right revisited:

Really super psyched for the new album based on what I've heard.

Gonna try to watch the full thing tonight.

It's pretty fun!

new video just went on and on... and on... and on.... then on some more in slow-mo...

Elijah nails Ad-Rock tho, tis true

I dunno, i liked how it was a long music video, and the cameos were pretty fun...it all seemed in the spirit of the original (shrug)

Elijah seems to kind of get the movement of Ad Rock, the other two have the look but it sort of ends there with them.

And i dunno, the long knot-untying joke was kinda funny to me

but I dont hate any of those dudes and i lay my Beasties stan cards on the table, lol

I thought it was MAD UNCANNY.

You guys!!

Whole album streaming here http://livestre.am/J0Nl

(It takes a few minutes to start...but !!! they set up a boombox in the middle of an empty Madison Square Garden and are playing it into the PA!)

not sure how much MSG is contributing but I like the swampy dubby vibe of the tracks I've heard so far

digging it so far...good funky vibes, kind of an old school Paul's Boutique feel to a lot of it

but with Check Yr Head vox, lol

sasquatch on the field

hope he comes back out...was hoping he'd play some ball

okay definitely excited now...that sounded GREAT

i'm kind of digging this. last thing i purchased was hello nasty which i thought was just ok at the time. it's prob due another listen.

Nasty has held up okay, I think. Was listening to it the other day and forgot how much fun it is. Putting Shame In Your Game is my fave.

Listening to the MSG stream now. I can't tell if I've just been so Beastie-starved that I love this, or if I love it on its own merits (the latter, I think), but this album's gonna be incredible.

Agree w/the Check Your Head vibe, which is fine with me

Well...To the 5 Boroughs wasnt exactly up to Hello Nasty's level...so Hot Sauce feels like it at least has the *promise* of that level. Got a lot of strong Beastie vibes :) Feeling good about the preorder at least, lol

Trying not to overdo the MSG streaming...I went through twice & had to enforce a mandatory cut off, lol

I haven't gone to buy a cd on release day in a long time, but doing it for a Beasties album seems right somehow. (Of course, getting there when Target opens doesn't exactly have the same feel as waiting outside of a record store for them to unlock the door.)

so go to a record store, duh

The closest one's an hour away.

move, duh

jeez Johnny

Well...To the 5 Boroughs wasnt exactly up to Hello Nasty's level.

TT5B was actively terrible

Yeah I guess this isn't the place for niceties. It was very not good.

by the by, the clean/edited version just went a-leaky.

The beats on this are crazy good.

I should be the core market for this album being naught but a casual hip hop fan since the mid 90s in his late 30s but this just fucking sucks so bad it's unreal. It's hard to believe it's the same band that did Paul's Boutique.

but the beats for pauls boutique were by the dust bros, so it isn't really the same band at all.

but i really like this record tbh.

I see what you're saying but having different producers work on your shit is par for the course in hip hop.

not in the Beastie Boys' career, or much of hip-hop in 1989

i mean, most of the backing tracks for P'sB were done before the Beasties came to work on the record - the album was, to a certain extent, the Beasties' laying vocals over the Dust Bros' tracks (do i have this right? i think this was the gist of the 331/3rd book). subsequent beasties LPs are produced by the Beasties and Mario C - their beats, not someone else's. they pretty much don't work with lots of different producers over an album.

Right, I didn't know it was to *that* extent. Looks like I need to read the 33 1/3 book.

there were only a few completed tracks that the Beasties heard and went "can we rap on these?"*, and even those got re-recorded - the album was done in a real collaboration with the Beasties throwing in ideas, contributing some hands-on production and playing and steering the whole thing, but definitely going along with Matt Dike and the Dust Bros aesthetic, having fallen so thoroughly for it.

worth noting that Mario C didn't have a hand in TT5B - and the Just Blaze remix of Ch-Check It Out suggested they would have been best served by buying outside beats for the first time ever instead

*I think maybe what became Car Thief and Shake Your Rump?

look, hate on TT5B all you want, but "Ch-Check It Out" was pretty ace

thanks for clarifying, sic - i'd rather think the beasties had more involvement than i suggested earlier.

tt5b was so dreary.

Ch-Check It Out was ok but after Hello Nasty they started back-sliding stylistically, so it still (for me) represents something that they'd already done and made a better job of elsewhere & earlier.
