Long before acts like 3rd Bass, Vanilla Ice and Eminem, The Beastie Boys, were fighting for their right for hip-hop legitimacy. Needless to say, unlike one of the previously mentioned, they won that battle long ago. In fact, none of these artists can hold a candle to the longevity of these cats. In their mid/late forties, The Beastie Boys, with this release, prove what the rest of us middle-aged hip-hop fans already know.We were there in the beginning…and we are here now, Because….WE ARE HIP-HOP!!!!!
