Beastie Boys

Though the Beastie Boys memoir was originally intended to come out in 2015, it was obvious to Mike D and Ad-Rock that more work needed to be done.

Today would have been MCA's 53rd birthday. Let's celebrate with some of the best Beastie Boys videos.

John Berry, who is credited with giving the Beastie Boys their name, has passed away at the age of 52.

Beastie Boys' Ad-Rock discusses some of the projects he's taken on since the death of MCA.

Beastie Boys are now seeking to have Monster Energy pay the nearly $2.4 million the band spent in legal fees defending the usage of their music.

Beastie Boys music was improperly used by Monster in a promotional video and a downloadable 23-minute medley.

GoldieBlox recently apologized for their usage of the Beastie Boys' 'Girls' in a promo for their line of toys for girls, but the band is not buying it. According to the New York Times, the band has followed through on plans to file suit against the toy company after the company first took legal action against them.

It looks as though the Goldieblox / Beastie Boys legal debate couldl be over before the case hits courts. The toy company has issued a new statement in which they reveal that they don't want to fight with the living members of the group and were unaware of Adam Yauch's wishes that the band's music not be used for commercial purposes at the time they created their parody of the song 'Girls.'

Mike D of Beastie Boys has emerged with some new music, the first released since the death of his bandmate Adam Yauch (MCA) last year. He was commissioned by the fashion company Kenzo to compose a piece for their Spring/Summer 2014 show. The result is 'Humberto Vs the New Reactionaries (Christine and the Queens Remix).' Listen to the 10 minute track below.

Mario C., collaborator, producer and friend of the Beastie Boys, says that despite the untimely death of Adam “MCA” Yauch last month, we still may hear new Beasties songs in the future. He explains that there is still plenty of unreleased music on the way from the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.
