Beastie Boys – Three MC’s and One DJ

The kick drum rhythm you hear in this track—there are a lot of hits, and it’s especially characteristic of the Beasties’ early songs, right? It’s a different groove from double bass drumming, and while it’s rare in vocal-driven music, you could say it became a basic foundation for the R&B that emerged in the 2000s.

It’s an instrumental track included on the album ‘The Mix-Up.’ It’s fun to listen to this track again and imagine what it would feel like if their raps were laid over it!

Beastie Boys – Body Movin(original version)

I can think of a few songs in Japan that seem to have been inspired by this track.

That’s how catchy it is.

Even when I’m studying or working at my desk, listening to this makes me want to tap my foot to the rhythm.

The way your body reacts—now that’s what I’d call a danceable tune in its own right!

Beastie Boys – Brass Monkey (Live At Madison Square Garden) (Official Music Video)

This track draws your ears to the catchy chorus verse that makes everyone want to sing along, and the saxophone phrase flowing behind it.

It’s uptempo and would definitely hype up a live show.

The music video has a vibe like it was shot at a live performance, so check it out if you get a chance!

Dedication-Beastie Boys

It’s a track included on the album ‘Hello Nasty.’ Throughout the entire song, the sound makes it feel like a UFO is constantly flying around, which is really striking, and it has more of a toasting vibe than a straight rap.

They always amaze me with fresh, innovative ideas, and this song doesn’t disappoint!

Electric Worm

Beastie Boys, who achieved great success from their debut as white rappers, had an enormous impact on the scene through their wide-ranging activities—from innovative music that never stayed in one style to launching a trend-setting label and magazine, and even engaging in social causes.

They originally came from a hardcore band, and a major strength is that all three members can play instruments.

In 2007, they shocked listeners by releasing the instrumental album The Mix-Up, recorded with vintage instruments.

Electric Worm, included on The Mix-Up, delivers a cool, subtly stylish sound: a track swirling with a dark, funky groove that even hints at dub, topped off by Money Mark—practically a fourth member—on Hammond organ.

It’s fantastic!

Beastie Boys – Get It Together

The sampling that sounds like an old-era piano really defines the arrangement of this track! Plus, the radio-like noise creates a vintage phonograph vibe.

Meanwhile, the rap goes on relentlessly—almost mechanically—as if ignoring the track in a sense.
