Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2005-08-04 12:51:00 When this album came out nobody had heard a sound quite like it. Especially from some white jewish kids. Funny and great beats with Rick Ruebens great production. "kick it over here baby pop and let all the fly skibbies feel the beat drop" then a wicked reverse 808 kicks in.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2005-06-05 03:30:00 Former obscure punk rockers turned Hebrew hip-hop juggarnauts. The Beasties laid this mighty stone at the doorsteps of pubescent young males and boozed soaked frat boys everywhere in 1986, and we're all the better for it.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2003-11-10 11:30:00 One of the best rap albums ever created, this is a classic by all standards helped garner more attention to rap during their earliest begginings. Paul Revere, Brass Monkey, Girls, this album is a must have. It should be amongst the top 15. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Songs like "Fight for Your Right" and "Paul Revere" are still great to listen to. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2000-10-19 05:59:00 What's not to like about this CD? Non-stop classic Beastie Boys without a single use of the word "bitch" which gets real old, real fast on many other rappers' CDs. #9 "Paul Revere" has the best beat ever as far as I'm concerned.
