#3mta3

This is it. Where my obsession with music began. The first album I can remember completely nerding out over; listening to every sample, every horn, every verse, and every beat (that reversed bass on Paul Revere though!). 10 years old, completely in awe, staring at this airplane over and over, not realizing it was a joint until years later, not catching the 3MTA3 joke until years after that. If I’ve ever talked your ear off about music, blame the Beastie Boys. #beastieboys #licensedtoill #myrecords #3mta3 #ripmca https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_nDLmsX9QJwwkI_EpDB5DQ7Musqah4ADY_cM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

#3MTA3 ⚡️#PriorityApes

30 years ago the album that changed to way I listened to music and influenced my life in a way unimaginable to my parents and most of my family. I would be lying if I said this wasn't one of my favorite albums of all time but their next release Paul's Boutiqe changed things up even more. I was lucky enough to see them 7 times in my life, once as they performed under the alias Quasar too. Often imitated yet never duplicated the Beastie Boys will forever be my favorite rap/punk/acid jazz group. #3MTA3 #RIPMCA #30YearsOfBeastieBoys

If ever there was a need for a top 20 list, this is it. I’ve forgotten more good songs from them that I remember.
