Adam Yauch, better known as MCA from the Beastie Boys, died today of complications of cancer. He was 47 years old. In my social circles, the Beastie Boys were an unavoidable touchstone of pop culture for nearly twenty years — their wry sense of humor and fun helped mold the attitude of my generation.
Our condolences to Mr. Yauch’s wife, daughter, and parents.
Paul’s Boutique is one of the best albums of the last 50 years.Report

That’s young. The Beasties were the definition of White Rap / Hip-Hop — pretty much the owners of it until Eminem came along.Report

This one is tough for me. Growing up in the 80s they were my Beatles. Last year’s album was a return to glory. He will be terribly missed.Report
