snow wasn't shot. he actually released a few more albums after '12 inches of snow' (album w/ informer)... i remember watching a video for a song called 'sexy girl', which was more of a slow jam. like everyone else in the third grade, i thought "informer" was the shit. it's still not thaaat bad.
anyways, i think the beasties can't be confined in a hiphop forum. they've done too many great things.
nobody's mentioned that they started grand royale which was a dope ass label.
thru the label, when ODB was first incarcerated, they sold a shirt that read "FREE ODB". So all you Wu dickriders gotta respect that.
then they signed At the drive-in. which if you know anything about contemporary rock music, you'd know what's up. From that, they broke into the mainstream, broke up, and started Sparta and the Mars Volta
The best album i think the beasties have done, and is my personal favorite is "Check Your Head". How many other rap groups have written, recorded and played their own instruments on their own album? it's so nuts, on the same album you got funk tracks like "Pow!" or punk tracks like "time for living" (which i think is a cover of a Sly and the Family Stone song, done up real nasty and grimey hardcore punk). and you can't forget "whatcha want", "finger lickin'", "pass the mic", "gratitude"...
they even sample from Wild Style on one of the later tracks :
"i heard your female was hanging around them too. giving it to all them graffitti guys." "shut the fuck up chico mang."
From grand royale, they started their own magazine and started 'X-Large' the clothing brand, and became heavy supporters of the tibeten fredom festivals in the 90's.
