Beastie Boys/Trivia


 * Creator Backlash: The Beasties haven't performed "Fight For Your Right" live since 1987, think it "sucks" and are annoyed that its ironic, sarcastic nature was lost on its intended target of fratboys. Also, they've apologized repeatedly for their earlier sexism and homophobia.
 * Ad-Rock also hates "Finger Lickin' Good".
 * Development Hell: Since Ill Communication, they've sure started to take their time releasing albums.
 * The indefinitely postponed Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 may be stuck there forever after MCA's Author Existence Failure.
 * Executive Meddling: After the Beasties fled to Capitol, Def Jam head Russell Simmons announced that he would assemble an album created from the band's outtakes with extra contributions by others (think Tupac Shakur's and The Notorious B.I.G.'s posthumous albums). Paul's Boutique came out first, and nothing was heard about Simmons' idea again.
 * One of Us: See above and the below section on shoutouts in the Music tab.
 * Throw It In: A lot of their samples.
