Man, the Beastie Boys used to be my favorite, but the new album hurt me BAD. There's some hot tracks on it, but for the most part it's like they're characatures of their old selves. And there's ome real corny stuff... and not corny on purpose.
Like that chorus "who's got a power to make a difference? Who's got the power to make a change? YOU got the power to..." I mean, I'm down with the message but it's WAY too campy and reminds me of something that belongs on Kids, Inc.
And why does the world need another hip-hop song that samples "Rapper's Delight"/"Good Times?"
I'd also like to add that the Beastie Boys are all super mini. I got to meet them and hang out with them once and I was totally taken aback by how little they were. I was like 16, 5'6" and about 130 lbs. at the time and none of them were bigger than me. It was weird. It's probably because in all their videos the camera is at knee level...
Somebody should send them a Synthcart.
