The Boys are back
Before Brockhampton, before Migos, before House of Pain – even before Wu-Tang Clan – there was the Beastie Boys. Ad-Rock, Mike D and MCA – three best friends and self-described “punks” whose love of music and aspirations to roll with New York hip-hop’s elite saw them become one of the greatest and most unlikely success stories in modern music.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing though. Fame went to their heads early on (touring with Madonna in the ’80s will do that to three twenty-somethings) and although they sold over 20 million albums, eventually the money dried up and the music suffered. But instead of packing it in, the Beastie Boys swallowed their pride, returned toand ’94’s , made some of the best music of their career.
