Beastie Boys were mentioned/played in a piece about The Meters. You can hear it here

Funk Band The Meters Reunite for Farewell Concert in New Orleans (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4609498)




One of these years I'll make it down to Jazz Fest..

The Beastie's introduced me to The Meters after they sample them on PB. Great funk band

[dancin2beasties]

i absolutely love the meters, thanks for finding this! :)

where in the listening thing do they mention the beastie boys?

[BGirl]

Yer welky!

You should really listen to the whole thing :) (especially if ya like The Meters) but it's about 4 minutes in. They're not mentioned by name but referred to as "old school rappers" and a little bit of Dropping Names is played.

Thanks for the link BGirl. I wish I could make it down for Jazzfest.

Here's where the Beasties mention The Meters.

Just Strutting Like The Meters With The Look-ka Py Py
Downtown Brooklyn Is Where I Was Born
But When The Snow Is Fallin' Then I Am Gone whee
You Might Think That I'm A Fanatic
A Phone Call From Utah And I'm Throwing A Panic
