The Beastie Boys deserve strong consideration for GOAT group - they are right there w/ Mobb, Wu etc

Punk

This. And punk and hip hop early on had many things on common and a connection. Both againgst the white America status quo

I'm a huge beastie boys fan but this thread..no

i'll give them top 25.

they only had that one album, which was mostly written by run dmc - a much better group that OP didnt even acknowledge.

im a known beasties supporter here, but threads like this are the reason why they get brushed off by alot of posters.

P.S. i do rank them ahead of outkast tho.

"known beasties supporter"

"that one album"

Paul Revere and Slow and Low were the only song Run and DMC helped with, and Slow and Low only because that was supposed to be a Run DMC song first.

That one album, their classic is Paul's Boutique and that wasn't even released on Def Jam.

Pretty funny to see Beastie topics on sohh/the coli. No one knows what they're talking about

 

[King Sun]

License to Ill, Paul's Boutique, Ill Communication....all 3 are certified classics... and Hello Nasty and Check Your Head are easily 4-4.5 / 5 albums.

Let's not forget how their sound revolutionized an era and really gave birth to LL Cool J. Rick Rubin is still one of the most sought after producers in the game. And his/Beastie Boys sound is VERY distinct.

Mobb and Wu have some great albums but definitely not 3 certified classics. Only group that can rival Beasties greatness is Outkast... but again I think a strong case can be made on just how much influence these dudes had on Hip Hop during the Golden Years.

Big influence, grew up listening to them but also grew up listening to Wu and all wu had to offer ith all their affiliates

 

[Representar]

the f*ck you talmbot cuz? you talkin out ya azz run dmc aint write any of their sh*t

and you showing your thong saying outkast aint the goat group... that is disputable

I'm not a fan of hearsay. I'm not saying it's not possible, but some proof would be nice.

 

[SirBiatch]

thank you!!! how hard was that?! I can't believe it's taken this long for someone to produce a link.

Now I've learned some shyt.

You know what's hilarious? I never gave a fukk about the Beastie Boys (always thought they were corny and novelty) but finding out that the ONE song I give em credit for "Paul Revere", was actually written by Run DMC...

The rap game....The seeds of the commercial, smoke-and-mirrors crap that we're suffocated by today started a long time ago

 

[Tropical Fantasy]

thrye probably a top 15 rap group, maybe top 10

first 2 albums are really good, Paul's Boutique is a borderline classic album

but to put them up with Wu Tang & Mobb Deep is insane
