That would be africa bambaata and that class. Learn the history of hip hop.

​@@columbusohio72 soo true if you strat first ! In France we have a tradition of music with poetry same as hip hop flow and that from Middle Ages ! Show respect to MCA and shut up

it's wierd because a lot of ppl don't know bboys had so many great albums

Yes indeed

Me too,never be anything like the 80s again

@@bobtwichew3103 Right? Watching a new form a music take hold? Was amazing.

Same here.

No they didn't. They rode some shirt tails. They didn't get good until 89/90

@@gart9680 genuinely horrible take lmao

Why do you think that? Personally I think he was an amazing artist.

I could go on and on, but to be brief, so many people have said it, and I hear nothing about good things about MCA. He just seems like a great soul. He cares about other people. I've been a fan for decades. If you listen to some of his lyrics you can tell he is a great guy and not just faking it.

MCA called out the bullshit in todays world

@@jakepaulismyhero6603 He converted to Tibet. Raised awareness. Started changing lyrics about old songs involving disrespecting women. He apologized years before it became a thing for artist to even get what he meant. He and and the rest of the Beasties worked with security to prevent rapes happening at shows esp. post Woodstock 99, he worked with touring artists to make sure certain songs weren't disrespecting. Read an interview that he even stopped killing bugs in his home and would set them bck outside. He was still a NYC smart ass but he was real and had a genuine heart. He was sick of the Licencsed to Ill songs and lyrics in the 80's. Was already thinking ahead. Not everyone evolves in life like that sadly.

And somehow it looks like Flav pulled it off. The mind boggles...

Like your flags,I'm JammaBubbly 🤘

Beastie Boys rules

Why is it funny seeing white people in the crowd for Public Enemy? Beastie Boys--especially MCA-- proved there aren't any barriers; the barriers are only in the mind. Flavor Flav doesn't seem to care, nor does anyone else. It's all about the music my friend!! Plus, the fact they are there shows their GREAT taste in music :-)

Especially MCA. Didn't meant to cross that out. Computer screw up guys

Thats all you see at rap concerts
