Ev4n Holt gives his paean request for deliverance from the demons of poverty over a Mobb Deep soundscape in front of a NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) landscape.
I dig the blue filters on this visual.
Just don’t call these dudes a rap supergroup. I thought to call them rap’s Defenders (a group most comic heads slept on except maybe the ‘purists’) but Roc Marci let me know they weren’t becoming a group.

Action Bronson opens for the other rappin’ chef, Raekwon, at Princeton University.
I watched Bronson pull off this rapping while in the crowd stunt at the College Music Jornal in NYC last year and it never gets old seeing people have fun at a rap show.

I can’t even begin to describe how influential the Beastie Boys were as a Hip-Hop band. When you look at the bands and artists who founded Def Jam like the Beasties, LL and later on Public Enemy it was clear that some kind of mythical nexus had been formed from the sounds of the South Bronx.
Words become so cheap when legends leave us. I don’t want to lessen my memories by forcing words on to this page. The Beastie Boys are everlasting punk rock funk blues Hip-Hop. They are the hombre habanero version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They are music. #RIPMCA
