R.I.P. Adam Yauch AKA MCA

Adam Yauch, one-third of the pioneering hip-hop group the Beastie Boys, has died at the age of 47 from Cancer. Yauch co-founded the Beastie Boys with Mike "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz in 1979. The band started off as a hardcore punk group, but soon began experimenting with hip-hop. The band broke huge with their first proper album, Licensed to Ill, in 1986; it was the biggest-selling rap album of the decade and the first to reach Number One on the Billboard chart. Further albums Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head and Ill Communication cemented the Beasties as a true superstar act. R.I.P. Adam Yauch AKA MCA Some of my favorite Beastie Boys songs. ENJOY!
