It was cancer. They canceled a tour in 2009 so he could have surgery on his throat. I thought he was gonna be okay. I am obviously quite sad. The Beastie Boys are my liiiiife. I met MCA in 2007, too. He was incredibly nice.

Seriously, what a rad guy. All I've been hearing online is that he was just the nicest dude and a fantastic person. If you haven't checked out the new Beasties album, you should do so as it's the best thing they've made in a while (which is saying something)

fuck.
Glad I saw the Beastie Boys 5 years ago. Was probably a top 5 or ten convert for me. so much fun.
I never got their newest record, but I guess I'm going to have to now.

If any of you have neglected to watch this in its entirety, I suggest you do so now. It is so worth it. Directed by the man himself. I nearly died the first time I watched it, it is so awesome. Edit: JUST LOOK AT THE CAST www.imdb.com/title/tt1791504/fullcredits#cast

Fight For Your Right Revisited is one of the best music related videos, ever. I was super stoned and flipping channels when it came out for the first time (on 4/20, haha) and it just blew my mind.

I watched it on YouTube when it first came out and FLIPPED MY SHIT. Then got drunk and watched it later on TV. Soooooo awesome.

I have this this poster hanging by my bed. Before I started dating my ex, I repeatedly tried to get him to give it to me, and every time he refused. We ended up together for over three years, and lived together for more than two, and when we split, he left it in our home. WIN. Anyway, I just woke up and looked at it and now I'm sad again. I texted my current boyfriend yesterday morning that Adam Yauch had passed away, and he replied in confusion as to who that was. Dealbreaker?

I just spent an hour digging around in boxes to find my copy of Ill Communication. Bunk. Found it, though, as well as the video anthology and Awesome... I Fuckin' Shot That, which, if you haven't seen it, is straight up awesome.e

There's a particularly great moment in which they splice together a frame of Mike D and a girl from the crowd dancing in the exact same manner. There's also a pretty epic shot of Ben Stiller rapping along to "Shake Your Rump."
