Maybe I should of had kids after all...

The Beastie Boys have signed a deal with New York University's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music that will give students a chance to produce material in the legendary hip-hop group's Oscilloscope recording studio in New York.

The initiaitve will bring senior students to Oscilloscope in order to produce, record, and mix original material under the school's Capstone Projects program, which charges those students with developing a "customized, entrepreneurial music business venture," as NYU put it in a statement provided to Billboard (http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6737549/beastie-boys-oscilloscope-capstone?utm_source=twitter).

NYU is full of already-priveleged rich kids, so hurray for more even opportunities that only money can buy for rich kids to get ahead!

The intention is appreciated though. Hopefully all of them will make the most of it, especially the non-rich ones who don't have everything served to them on a platter.

(hopefully i'm wrong, but... nyu *sigh*)

I don't think they necessarily were privileged. While all of their parents were educated, the two Adams attended NYC public schools instead of private preps and their parents were solidly middle-class. Mike's family was a different story.

However, all came from families that recognized that one could be successful in a artistic field as evidenced by the parental careers of architect, playwright, painter, art dealer, interior designer.
