Do you like Intergalactic THAT much?

[Kid Presentable]

It's ok. It's nowhere near their best song. People seem to love it, though.

[kleptomaniac]

i don't like it THAT much... i love it much much more. ;)

[Kid Presentable]

This is cold, but a friend of mine back in 98 called it Inter-ga-wack-shit. I don't think he listens to them anymore.:D

It's good when it comes on at a party, but I don't really rate it.

[BeastieAlbum07]

i don't like it THAT much... i love it much much more. ;)

I like my sugar with coffee and cream.

[Spanky1]

Its an ok song, They have better :cool:

[Brother McDuff]

a bit overrated. but at the same time, sometimes it'll hit'ya at the right time and you'll be like, "damn!", now i see why poeple respond the way they do.

for a lead single from an album, though, it's impressive how such a strange song became such a hit, even for 98. it's got something.

[hitmonlee]

i like it live. its very punchy. more than the other songs.

don't you tell me to SMILE
you stick around i'll make it worth your WHILE

[Justin]

I love the song just for the drums during these adrock lines:

Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene

(especially here)


When it comes to beats well I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream

[balohna]

Yeah it's an awesome live song, if they didn't record the vocals "live" (the three of them at once) it would probably not be nearly as good as it is. Plus every verse rhyming one word is pretty cool.

One of the best moments in AIFST is when Adrock takes off his hat and yells "NOW WHEN I WROTE GRAFFITI MY NAME WAS SLOP!" surrounded by audience members.

[ggirlballa]

yea its alright but at the right moment with the volume all the way up & the bass hittin your face, it could be one of the best, i love it when performed live, but if it came up randomly on my ipod i would probally skip it for some non-beastie music

[kleptomaniac]

i love it when performed live

step inside the party fuck up the whole scene!

oooh yeeeeah (y)

[funk63]

i remember i heard the song first before i even knew it had a video. i was like daamn..
the intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic part was awesome. way different then anything ive ever heard.

[Justin]

step inside the party fuck up the whole scene!

oooh yeeeeah (y)


OH YEA!

[Justin]

and also when adrock goes:

'SAY WHAT!"

[Kid Presentable]

It is odd and different. I like how they use the 'Uzi' beat on it nowadays. Funny how Hello Nasty was a 'Space' album, yet only the lead single really (and I mean consistently) met the space reference.

[dana]

Yeah, well back in '98 it was so overrated, so at the time I guess I kind of overlooked it. But now that the hype has died down, I can listen to it and really appreciate it for what it is. A lot of fans write is off as being a fad and not up to scratch with their other songs, but listening to it now...it's pretty damn amazing.

There's a fair bit going on in there. Sometimes, with all that going on, it sorta sounds like nothing much is going on. I don't hate it, it's not a bad song.

[pshabi]

Yes, the best.

It's a great song. Horovitz kills it with every verse.

Some memorable lines include:

"It always brings me back when I hear "oooh Child."

"I run the marathon to the very last mile."

"When it comes to envy y'all is green."

"Jazz and Awol, that's our team
Step inside the party (fuck up) the whole scene"

and of course the line mentioned in my quote.

Love that trizzack.

[DrunkenMantis]

if my rap's soup my beats is stock.

[pshabi]

if my rap's soup my beats is stock.
ahhhh, yes.

[funk63]

if my rap's soup my beats is stock.

i thought it was if my rap's soup my beats is slop.

[pshabi]

Why would he rhyme with "slop" with "slop?"

Stock is the "base" ingredient of a soup.(y)

[JobDDT]

Its uniqueness and "dance in the club" feel makes it an instant classic. It isn't their best song, but its very innovative and I think thats why people appreciate "Intergalatic" so much.

[Laver1969]

Cosign...well said.

It's got some great lyrics.

[camo]

Well it's my fave beastie track. It has one of the best beats i've heard, it's the best to dance to and their voices sound great on that track.
Not to mention the killer video and how great that track sounds LOUDASFUCK on a high end hifi.

:D

[djdjdj]

(y)

uh huh

[abell215]

it's great. but maybe it was a tad bit overrated years ago simply because it was the first taste of new beasties since ill comm.
like, if you didn't have anything to eat for 3-4 days and someone threw you a snickers bar, that damn snikers bar would taste DELICIOUS. and don't get me wrong, snickers are delicious, but they are no hersheys w/ almonds or butterfinger crisp!!

[icy manipulator]

it's definately great at parties or when you hear it out. currently it's my ringtone. and it's the 2nd most listened song on my Last.fm list.

the only other song i've heard more in my life would be Cosmic Girl :o

[cj hood]

It's ok. It's nowhere near their best song. People seem to love it, though.

i agree.......but since they started off IC with a nonhiphop track and after a 4year break.......it was enough to wet the whistle.......

[Extra Cheese]

but since they started off IC with a nonhiphop track and after a 4year break


???

[AdRockGRL]

It's ok. It's nowhere near their best song. People seem to love it, though.

I can say that I simply love it.
When i go on work, drivin' in my car on the highway on morning (like around 8AM) I love to listen to it because it "charges" me... I arrive on work in a nice mood... :)
Yep yep...i love Intergalactic!

[milkboy009]

For such a wacky song it really is amazing how it caught on. I think lots of people just love it cause they can easily sing along when the boys echo a rhyme. (mario c likes to keep it clean) "CLEAN!"

It is classic no doubt.(y)

[-T-]

Its good driving music, one of my favorite songs to listen to if I'm taking a spirited run through some twisty country roads. Something about it. I suppose its just a fun song.

[midzi]

I loved it when it came out and then when I saw them perform it live at VMAs made me like it even more. Brillinat performance. Horovitz on fire. I watched it over and over again. My video tape got really worn out in this place.

I still like it but I don't listen to it much because I heard it probably too many times over the years.

[pm0ney]

It got mega-played out, but for a reason. It's easily one of their best songs. Genious hook, and some of their most memorable one-liners. Plus the beat was fucking fantastic. Total banger.

Grrrrrreat track.

[fonky pizza]

I love it

[DJ Pioneer]

Yeah it just has that slammin beat.

Boom, bap, boom boom boom bap!

Just listened an FUCK YEAH, very bassy too (y)

[Funkyfreshgrape]

uhh its ok

[roosta]

yup. Its one of their best, for sure.

[laurie_hammy]

Intergalactic for me is a song that ya think "oh yeah Intergalactic the famous Beastie track" so I dont find myself listening to it much, then I listen to it at a club or in ym car cd player an im just like WOAH, this song is fuckin SiK. Definatley a great song, an one I will never get sick of.

[canucklehead200]

it is their best rap song, and one of the greatest rap songs in history, amazing background beats/music, incredible hook, and the most on-time rythmic rapping/flow I may have ever heard

get yo ears cleaned

[Lyman Zerga]

i became a fan because of that damn song

[Brother McDuff]

yep, it's definitely the song that inspired me to buy my first beasties record.

[Nerd Fight]

It's awesome, one of their best songs, and when it came out it was so different to what they'd done before, it was a kick in the aural nuts. A good kick!
Plus the video is great (y)

[Documad]

I got really sick of it. But the crowds love it, and so do my friends who don't like the Beasties, so I can't blame the band for playing it all the time.

The video is still marvelous, by the way.

[Auton]

got sick of it for awhile, but i sure do love that song. it's great.

[Funkyfreshgrape]

I got really sick of it.
yeah me too

[laurie_hammy]

i became a fan because of that damn song

Yeah same, that an 3 MC's after borrowing Hello Nasty off my cousin. Ahh, thanks cuz :cool:

[pshabi]

it is their best rap song, and one of the greatest rap songs in history
What is Root Down?

[Brother McDuff]

all it takes is a blasting listen to intergalactic on some earphones or a noice stereo to remind you that intergalactic is a powerhouse joint!

[Tzar]

i like it THAT much, yes. it's fucking baller

[camo]

who's that guy with the amazing Intergalactic avator?

You know the one where adrock raps 'y'all is green'?

hmm...

[Kid Presentable]

I'm never gonna change it either. I made one for Justin once. It had the same animation and his name appeared letter after letter. I'm so freakin cool :cool: lol

[canucklehead200]

it's one song that i can truly listen to so very many times and not be sick of it. best performance of it ever was at the mtv awards when they did that and 3 mc's, their best performance ever IMO

[DJ Pioneer]

Did anyone here get to hear the original Intergalactic song? I heard it many many years ago. I think it was recorded around '94 or '95. I got it off of the original Napster. It had a different beat and different lyrics.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It was pretty good!

[Friis gal]

^yup (http://www.joeandrhonda.com/Beastie%20Songs.htm), but it's not as good as the hn one.

[DJ Pioneer]

^yup (http://www.joeandrhonda.com/Beastie%20Songs.htm), but it's not as good as the hn one.

Awesome, thanks! I knew I wasn't going crazy! Yeah, it's definitely not as good as the real version, but I find it very amusing. Couple of good samples and funny lines like "I'm the first man on the moon with a 3-wood teein'!" Good stuff.

[dirtydan11]

i like it THAT much, yes. it's fucking baller

i really enjoy listening to this song, like oh my God! anyways, what's baller:cool: ?

[laurie_hammy]

Adrock Live -

INTERGALACTIC uh uh uh RAAAAGHHH !!!!!!!!!

[gorilla]

My book title will be: Intergalactic - the beginning of the end.

[JobDDT]

My book title will be: Intergalactic - the beginning of the end.

...what?

[Kid Presentable]

haha

[AndILoveMike!]

everybody love it so much. me not at all.

[PaddyBoy]

Grrrrrreat track.

I agree completely, what a beat! The only Beastie boy song I heard repeatedly in clubs. Could just be their best song..

[Fred Kelly]

if i was to make a best of 3cd set, it wouldn't make the cut.

[Jmoney77]

i love that song

[Kid Presentable]

if i was to make a best of 3cd set, it wouldn't make the cut.
Miramanee, Fred Kelly and myself have discussed this. It's not a bad song, at all. But there's many that are better. I know people love it, and that's allllll good. (y)

[Kid Presentable]

Why don't you make a thread titled "Do you like Triple Trouble THAT much?"? Then we can have a really good discussion. :D
haha. The best thing about triple trouble at Good Vibes was that Mike changed the beat at the end. :o

sorry

[Kid Presentable]

MMM is to blame for my weariness with "Triple Trouble."
How so?

[Tigo]

intergalactic is one of my fav Beasties song ever!

[Pootytang]

intergalactic is one of my fav Beasties song ever!

Please quit power posting.

[laurie_hammy]

haha. The best thing about triple trouble at Good Vibes was that Mike changed the beat at the end. :o

sorry

Mix Master's Beat choice is phenominal !

[jennyb]

It's like talking about one's own children... like you'd ever say you didn't love one of em. Honestly, if I'z forced to pick my least favorite Beastie Boys song. Intergalactic. Yep.

[DJ_Skrilla]

Intergalactic = Super Banger.

Now that the song is old news, when I do slip it on at a party everyone goes nuts. The beat is hard, everyone knows the lyrics and its just a great track. As a dj this one is up there with like Paul Revere. People know both of those tracks, and its not as corny as playing "Girls" for the fratboys.

Just make sure you turn intergalactic UP LOUD.... feel those subs.

/also once when I djed a club right after TT5B was released and I didnt have it on vinyl yet so I had to play my CD using the clubs janky cd-J things. The music was hella bumpin' loud and the peeps were vibing out to my selections in a packed house, so I drop "Right Right Now Now" and everyones like "Ah Hellz Yeahh....." then, of course, it just starts skipping after like 30 seconds like the cheap POS cd-J it was, so I quickly skipped to track 3 (3 the hard way) which just doesnt have as much energy as "RRNN" and everyone booo'ed. Oh well. Just one more reason to stick to vinyl and not janker cheap cd-Js. It still ended good and everyone loves hearing Beasties, especially a new album they havent heard it before.

[halfangel]

its so awsome!

"i'll stir fry you in my wok!"
