They have been making music for over 20 years, people still buy their records now, they must be doing something right.

Hip hop has so may sub-genres though, in my mind you either like something or you dont, people always try and catogorize music, who cares if they are hip-hop. In my mind they are hip-hop, the tune 3mc's and 1 dj would back that up.

i just think this argument, well its not even an argument...the beasties are a mediocre white hip hop group and thats all there is to it
Mediocre no way.

beasties are a very devisive group
i'd like an ad rock solo album tho
the two kids takling head about the beasties in here you just dont know what your talking about. straight up and down.
Trying to say the only reason they sell is because they are white. Please, how much the last 3rd base album sell?
And you do know third base was only signed to def jam to fill the void left by the beastie boys (which they could never and would never fill, well because, they just arent even close to being as good) when they didnt want to conform and act like some ganster white boys that they knew they werent.
They are one of the few rap groups that have stayed true to themselves, never sold out, and continue to put out good music. They dont do commericals, they dont put out Tical the Pre-qual type bullshit, they just do the damn thing.
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
People are too stupid to effectively conspire to do anything, but not too stupid to come up with conspiracy theories.
can we at least agree that this thread should be moved to the Hip-Hop forum?
As for myself: I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing sacred about myself or any human being, that we were all machines, doomed to collide and collide and collide.

if you wanna fight the power, get the power to fight

Give a man a fish and you can feed him for a day, but teach him how to catch one and you have fed him for a lifetime.
lol
3rd bass arent as good as the beasties?!
3rd bass can actually rap well, beasties fell into the profession through chance.
also who gives a fuck about record sales, the beasties were on some pop shit, thats why they sold
i cant believe people talkin about record sales mean these cats were better!
most people that bought the beasties first 2 joints werent even hip hop fans!
3rd bass deserve way more credit than they get. they made white rap credible, not the beasties
