Does anyone know which month this came out? I know it's 20 years ago this year, and that it came out toward the end of the year, just trying to find out which month and day it debuted.

Licensed to Ill

Album by The Beastie Boys

Released November 1986

Recorded Spring 1986

Genre Old school hip hop

Length 44:33

Label Def Jam

Producer(s) Rick Rubin


Licensed to Ill is the debut hip hop album by the Beastie Boys, released in 1986 (see 1986 in music). It was the first rap album to become popular among mainstream audiences, as well as the first major full-length by a white hip hop group.

Licensed to Ill was the first hip hop LP to top Billboard's Pop Albums chart. It also peaked at #2 on the Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums chart.

The Beastie Boys told reporters that the album was originally to be titled "Don't Be A Faggot", but due to enormous controversy, the group ended with the name "Licensed to Ill."

Kerry King of Slayer made an appearance on the album playing lead guitar on "No Sleep Till Brooklyn", and appeared in the video, which is a spoof of heavy metal music. The name of the song itself is a spoof on Motörhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith album. King's appearance on the track came about because Rick Rubin was producing both bands simultaneously.
