Probably one of the greatest samples crossing genre's on one of the most underrated BBoys tracks and I'm a Paul's Boutique purist. "I see you're still strong after all that's gone on Life long we dedicate this song" RIP MCA

Beasties have been my boys since I was 17. So many study sessions were rechanneled and sidetracked by Licensed To Ill. I am 49 now and all of their cds are still in regular rotation. Life regret: not seeing them live. They are a truly powerful force, even still. I loved you, Adam. MCA will live forever.

MCA will be always in our memories and heart.

The real stuff is classic, cool and fun. 3 guys just being themselves, editing spot on, effects ahead of its time, locations all of over the city, talking about themselves and how they feel about nyc, bikes and a skateboard used in telling their story, where they lived at, their parents, the use of black and white footage, the use of color and fisheye photography. And killer tracks used by musicians, played on turntables using vinyl. And you actually can hear what they are saying…..

Never forget. I listen to this song every year on 9/11. The Beastie Boy's wonderful ode to the greatest city in the world.

Underrated jam

Any #NYC native born (damn skip that detail lol) knows their music. This group blew up before my time. What I recall from their rise is they went hard for their respect, rocked out, keeping it real to their roots from their styling to their words all while staying relevant within their brand of music. They didn’t cave to their haters. This song proved they got skills and smarts. It dropped what in 2003 post 9/11? Still good timing, positive messaging with a dope beat. What makes this song stand out? While they aren’t part of my genre of hip-hop, they’re the only group with true credit to give a shot out to us #NYCNatives post 9/11. They didn’t get political, in their feelings. Nope. They kept shit moving in a surprising direction. It caused a stir in NYC because again they have many haters alongside their fans. I’m a #Bronx native, born and raised, who was a UG at #PaceUniversityNYC with an morning class living in St. George, #StatenIsland. I saw the second plane hit and the after loss. I never considered paying tribute to my hood, to my city; a city who in point of fact made me and a former hood that tried to break me., literally. After the attack, the camaraderie, the banding together, changed my view point for some years.

Man. How sad it is watching this and listening to this....knowing how tight NYC is and all... And then what's happening out there with the Coronavirus. Stay strong.

Lyrics here: Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten From the Battery to the top of Manhattan Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin Black, White, New York you make it happen Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers Writers, prize fighters and Wall Street traders We come together on the subway cars Diversity unified, whoever you are We're doing fine on the One and Nine line On the L we're doin' swell On the number Ten bus we fight and fuss You know we're thorough in the boroughs 'cause that's a must I remember when the Duece was all porno flicks Running home after school to play PIX At lunch I'd go to Blimpies down on Montague Street And hit the Fulton Street Mall for the sneakers on my feet Dear New York I hope you're doing well I know a lot's happened and you've been through hell So, we give thanks for providing a home Through your gates at Ellis Island we passed in droves Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten From the Battery to the top of Manhattan Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin Black, White, New York you make it happen The L.I.E. the B.Q.E Hippies at the band shell with the L.S.D.
