Synopsis: Arriving fully formed in the mid-1980's as obnoxious white boy rappers who fought for their 'right to party' and started a trend that kept every Volkswagen driver wondering if their vehicle badge of indent would make it through the night. The Beastie Boys were seen as little more than a quick-buck novelty act upon their entry into the music industry.
But some quarter century later, the group remain amongst the most innovative and groundbreaking acts in the world as they continue to release music that is as far removed from those early tracks as it's possible to get, in which they incorporate funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop, house rock and numerous other styles.
