Beastie Boys/Trivia

All-Star Cast: Their video to Fight For Your Right (Revisited).
The Character Died with Him: Not long after MCA's death, various obituaries of his directorial alter-ego Nathaniel Hornblower appeared on fan websites.
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.
Keep Circulating the Tapes: The outtakes from Licensed to Ill have never been officially released, including a cover of The Beatles' "I'm Down" and a song called "The Scenario", though the latter did make a brief appearance in the Christian Slater movie Pump Up The Volume.
One of Us: See above and the below section on shoutouts in the Music tab.
Throw It In: A lot of their samples.
What Could Have Been: In interviews, Mike D mentioned the idea of releasing a With Lyrics version of The Mix-Up as a companion to the instrumental one, with guest vocalists on every song. M.I.A. and Jarvis Cocker were rumored to be among the contributors.
- Some positive Executive Meddling occurred over the name of Licensed To Ill - the label wouldn't let them use the Intentionally Awkward Title Don't Be A Faggot. The band of course now consider this a further bit of Old Shame about that album.
