12 July 2018

Band: BEASTIE BOYS

Album: HELLO NASTY – their fifth longplayer

Released: 14 July 1998 – 20 years ago

ROLLING STONE wrote: ‘With their fifth proper album, a playfully mature Beastie record
(if that’s possible), they turn the focus back toward hip-hop — there’s not one hárdcore punk song here, but with an understanding of how to conflate their two largest influences into one smooth-flowing package. Imagine a sonic mix that’s about sixty-five to seventy percent the frenetic, sample-crazy hip-hop eclecticism of Paul’s Boutique and about twenty-five to thirty percent the funk-punk fun of III Communication. The Beasties, as innovative musicians and good citizens, contribute more to the hip-hop community than a lot of MCs.”
