Back on the blog after a longer period of relaxing and recovering to continue (not only) the series of a long song on Monday. Today's song is from Beastie Boy's second and masterpiece album Paul's Boutique. It is a landmark in hip-hop. After the party of their first album finished, where they combined classic rock with hip-hop the Beastie Boys grew up to real artists. They understood what hip-hop stands for and they detected sampling as a way to create sounds/songs. Not many albums from this genre were played by white guys that stood the times (another was the first album by House of pain that showed the self-confidence of white rappers). This songs shows the range hip-hop can stand for.
