The album could not be made today. It simply could not be. Consider just Shake Your Rump--it contains unlicensed samples from The Bar-Kays, The Funky 4 + 1, Sugarhill Gang, James Brown, Afrika Bambaataa and Led Zeppelin. There simply is no way to get those samples now. Of course, it doesn't matter how many great samples you use, if your shit is wack, yo. And this shit ain't wack. It is a brilliant, brilliant and super-fun record.
Enjoy!

Hold on, let me just get my water pipe and I'll sing along!
At this point should we still call them the Beastie Boys? They're not really boys any more.
