I blame this guy for killing the 80's

So far, it's not clear if the death is related to the rapper's battle with cancer.
Russell Simmons' website GlobalGrind.com first reported the death. We have spoken to people independently connected to the rapper who also say he is dead.
Yauch co-founded Beastie Boys in 1979 with Mike D, Mix Master Mike, and Ad Roc. The group has won multiple Grammys.
Yauch became a vegan at the recommendation of his Tibetan doctors.
Yauch is survived by his wife and daughter. He was 47.
No sleep till Brooklyn. RIP MCA.

Please put me on the Gen X ping.
Love the Beasties. I am from NYC and grew up listening to thse guys in the late 80’s and 90’s.
NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN!!!!!
Wow. I had their song ‘Paul Revere’ in my head for some reason this morning.
That one is good. My fave is:
So whatcha whatcha want, whatcha want.....
That’s either Rick Astley or the dude from Big Country.
When I was at UF, you couldn’t pass a frat house without hearing “You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party” blasting away.
how do you know?
LOL!
Now he’s rhymin’ and stealin’ in the afterlife.
R.I.P., MCA.
“Thank God someone killed the metal of the 80’s.”
It was still better than most of the metal of the ‘00s.
Hair metal isn’t dead, but it has apparently gone bald...
Someone had to kill hair metal. I still think Cobain deserves a medal for his part in it.
I want to give a medal to the person that killed grunge.
I’m not sure which one of the Beastie Boys wrote these lyrics, but whoever did was a leftist idiot:
“It Takes Time To Build”
If you don’t like the news then press eject
Baby Davis getting older can’t take a rain check
It’s time to let’em know what we expect
Stop building SUV’s strung out on OPEC
Hold up wait up you know we come correct
You wanna change things up, well hey just get set
It’s easier to sit back than stick out your neck
It’s easier to break things than build it correct
We’ve got a president we didn’t elect
The Kyoto treaty he decided to neglect
And still the US just wants to flex
Keep doin’ that wop we gonna break our necks
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
Hate filled people wanna keep us in check
Tearin’ down each other is what they expect
If you want love well hey that’s a bet
We’ve got to give before we can get
Waiting like a batter who is on deck
When it’s time to wreck shop then shop I’ll wreck
So let’s calibrate and check our specs
We need a little shift on over towards the left
I don’t really know but I suspect
I think it’s due time that we inspect
How they get their information and their facts are checked
Another press conference someone’s talking out their neck
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
So step up to the window and place your bets
Is the US gonna keep breaking necks
Maybe it’s time that we impeach Tex
And the military muscle that he wants to flex
By the time Bush is done what will be left
Selling votes like E-pills at the discotheque
Environmental destruction and the national dept
But plenty of dollars left in the fat war chest
What the real deal why you can’t connect
Why you hating people that you never met
Didn’t your mama teach you to show some respect?
Why not open your mind for a sec?
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
Oh, it's still around. Motley Crue is on tour for the second summer in a row. There is a new L.A. Guns CD coming out, and Slash is also putting out a new record.
What are the Lemonheads up to these days?
Beasties were not just leftist. They were sick and depraved. And it wasn’t that good, anyway. “Rap” with horrid scratchy metal guitar thrown in.
That said, God bless him, even so. Maybe he had his redemption in the end.
"The people you would have overdose on drugs never would. Like Mötley Crüe would never overdose, man, never. You could put them in a room with two tons of crack, they'd come out half an hour later, goin 'ROCK ON MAN!'" - Dennis Leary
You had to kill the critters on their heads first.
