THE BEASTIE BOYS
Yo! The Beastie Boys have become an American institution! They’ve stolen the hearts (or libidos) of teens throughout the country. They’ve had a number one record—and who’d have ever thunk it? The Beasties started out during the era of punk as just another hardcore band from the streets of Brooklyn, New York.
THE BEASTIE BOYS
Yo! The Beastie Boys have become an American institution! They’ve stolen the hearts (or libidos) of teens throughout the country. They’ve had a number one record—and who’d have ever thunk it?
The Beasties started out during the era of punk as just another hardcore band from the streets of Brooklyn, New York. MCA (real name: Adam Yauch), Mike D. (Michael Diamond) and Adrock (Adam Horvitz) hit on a winning formula, however, when they recorded a punk rap single entitled “Cookie Puss.” The single—either by accident or by designwon them some notoriety, and an opening slot on Madonna’s super tour of two years ago didn’t hurt matters any. Still, everyone pretty much viewed the Beasties as nothing more than a novelty act. Little did anyone know, probably least of all the Boys themselves, that soon they’d be as big an act as Madonna herself!
