'Paul's Boutique'! 10 Facts About the Beastie Boys' Misunderstood Classic

[LordSinister]

I hated their 2nd album.

I still stand by this statement

Never liked them or their "music." The most annoyingly grating voices in Rap.

And what people didn't (and seemingly still don't) realize is that they were an in-joke about how talentless white boys could make it to the top of Rap because Rap was just amateur babbling by a bunch of ghetto n*****. Much like The Village People were an in-joke about Gay Disco culture. Only the beasties (even their name) were jew racists from jump.

You know what the original title of "License To Ill" was supposed to be? "Don't Be A Faggot", but Janeane Garofalo talked them out of it.

I remember having an argument with this dude about Paul's Boutique, he was like it was better than License's To ILL but I told him brotha's was bumpin License's To ILL more in the hood. I remember back then as a young teenager, all you heard was License's To iLL but when Paul's Boutique came out you didn't hear niggas bumpin that.

I've never listened to this, I should give it a try ...33 years later.

I liked license to iLL as a youth, I was 10, my brother 16 thought they were gimmicky ass Jews and not good for the culture, I thought my brother was square but he was right the whole time.

Also remember at that time, They were basically Co founders of DEF Jam and Def Jam was huge at that time. If not for them there would be no cool J. Also there music, especially license to ill was very innovative for that time. Besides the jams that were rock influenced, a lot of the others were funky, to the point where probably black hands had to be involved in some of there production.
