Beastie Boys are Atari fans

[Dolt]

A co-worker sent me this photo he took at their show in McCarren Park Pool in August--take a look at the video screens...

Cool,pretty much anyone who grew up in the 80's is an ATARI FAN,or knows of it!

'License to Ill' is one of the most classic hip-hop albums, IMO.

 

The Beasties kick ass.

agreed

 

i picked up a new copy on cd at a zia records a couple of months ago for $6.99. freakin sweet!

[godzillajoe]

Paul's Boutique is their best by far

 

They're all in their early 40's by now, so they definitely grew up in the heyday of Atari and classic video games

 

"and if I played Defender you could be my hyperspace" is in a song somewhere, though I forget which one at the moment

Yep, I still got License to Ill on double LP

[Cassidy Nolen]

They interview Eugene Jarvis (creator of Defender) on the 5 buroughs (sp?) album about the ailen defenders and mutants. There are TONS of classic game references in their songs. Hello Nasty had a few. Neat to see the 2600 get love.

 

They rock. Simply put, they have staying power when the industry is constantly changing. From Ill on, they remain my only rap favorite. I just can't get into rap. Something must be wrong with me, according to MTV anyway....

Yup, PB is one of my top 20 all time fav albums. It's complete genius.

As a sophomore in high school, the 3MTA3 on the plane was the coolest thing in the world.

 

Compared to what's out now, 'Eat me' written as a hidden message on an album cover seems a bit tame, but

at the time, it was bad ass.

Ponce De Leon constantly on the fountain of youth not Robotron...(From the Sound of Science - Paul's Boutique)

 

Beasties have loads of video game and Atari reference in their rhymes.
