Yeah, what?
But if you mean what I think you mean then I don't think that their new album or single is called 'we be stupid'.
That would be stupid.

well if its an all instrumental record then this title is appropriate.......maybe the first single will debut on 'the hills' since the o.c. is off the air......

I was told that the CD title was still TBA and no actual final name had been chosen - but, my source sent me this for ya as far as release date
http://www.newmusictipsheet.com/page.php?id=crystal
Scroll down to June release dates......
I am in NO WAY claiming that I KNOW what it's gonna be called or released - I was just passing on what I was told.

probably even more bullshit, but the wikipedia entry mentioned that 'It will consist of about 23 tracks'. Not that I'm taking this seriously, but what sprt of length are people hoping for? It got me thinking purely in the sense that if it is all instruments I'd expect it to be shorter than that, but if it's long like 20 tracks then it suggests more about a variation of styles within the instruments and possible rapping.
I'm looking way too far into this!

I remember Hello Nasty was reported to contain 28 tracks. Although the same report mentioned Puffy was going to be on a song.
If it's all one style, it'll probably be 47 minutes. So 12-15 tracks. If they have been in the studio since Mike D's hair was only "Wooly" (and not "vulgar" as it's described now), working on hot shit, I'd like to think another 20 tracker.

I am hoping for various styles but, hey - I have waited so long for some new Beastie Boys tracks at this point - I would take anything they released.
But, I totally understand what you are saying about the amount of tracks that may be on the CD - if they are instrumental though it may be a bunch of short tracks that it making up the large total of tracks and why feel bad about researching and trying to find out what you can and passing it along - that's what it's all about - many rumors mixed in with some truth and trying to separate the two. So, please keep posting what you have heard or read. The truth is in there somewhere.

Personally, I think this thread might be a gag. Shame, too. It's a good title for an album. If I'm really reaching, I think it may be designed to make people on this part of the board look stupid. I hope it's not the case.

Remember when TT5B was rumored to be titled, "Mechanical Parrot?"
There was a false tracklisting and SOMEONE (CJ Hood,lmao) was writing lyrics to full songs that were bogus. People were creaming all over them too. It was funny shit.

Even if it is a joke in the vein of what KP said, I'm not really fussed. There's a thread a minute sparking more new album thoughts and assumptions, joke threads included. It's all the same aside from press releases with quotes and until official shit's announced. What I mean is, that even if people are made to look stupid it's no different from the other new album debating threads, obviously assuming people aren't gonna start printing we be stupid shirts etc and taking it that far.
I bet they are going for the "3 Feet High & Rising" theme by putting skits in between a lot of the tracks. If so, their may only be 14-15 legit tracks and I am fine with that. If this is the idea they are going for, I love it.
I think the whole instrumental thing should be shut down right now. I believe if they were going to do another instrumental record, it would have come out 8-10 months after their last album.
Also, if the album is called "We Be Stupid", I believe it is a take on the lyrics from "Hey Ladies" when they say "Educated no stupid yes; and when I say stupid I mean stupid fresh"...

wasnt it NME or Q magazine which tipped us about the new album before anyone else, saying that it was named to the 5 boroughs and tracklisting?......I was a little pissed that this (official site) didnt decalre the info first.
With this rumour i think its another mechanical parrot concept...........unless the title was found in a rental car?

Last I heard was they still had not decided on a name for the CD but, who knows - maybe they will read this thread and go - that's it - We be stupid - why didn't we think of that.

i did that for HN ten years ago on the alt boards......what i said about TT5B was all true: all hiphop (no punk/instrumentals) and more profanity then usual..and a track called 'puttin on fila suits'....which never happened until a few months ago there was a pic on the O website with 'that' track name on a white board.....
and....doubting the title 'we be stupid' is like those who doubted the title 'awesome i fucking shot that'......

If this Northern Soul and Spy Soundtrack type album talk is for real, then a name like "We Be Stupid" doesn't sound likely. but then again, you never know what they're gonna pull. there are so many different rumors piling up now that it's hard to tell what's bullshit and what's not.

theres a possiblity of releases by talib kweli & beastie boys on the same day? thats dope. maybe they'll tour together again.

I love how after years and years and years of the BBoys being total pranksters who can barely answer a single question with a straight answer- there's still people who will buy any rumor that pops up.
Until my debit card gets swiped and I'm actually listening to music off a CD with the name 'Beastie Boys' pressed on it- I believe nothing.
That being said, "We Be Stupid" is the best album title ever.

I think it is safe to say that this new album will not be another To the five boroughs

We Be Stupid is the worst title you could think of, its like a goofy 13 year old fanboy thought it up. Imagine how it will sound in a few years after the new album buzz wears off, like a bad joke. So hopefully no truth to the rumour..

It could be a joke made up by someone to make them look stupid.
It could be a joke made up by them and be false or true.
It's BS anyway.
Nerd Fight
03-27-2007, 08:04 PM
the title sounds like a parody title.
Like, in some imaginary Tim Allen movie Tim's trying to become a rapper - maybe the movie's called 'Dope Dad'....anyway, one of Tim's rival groups are a parody of the Beastie Boys, and they're called the 'Greasy Guys', and their album is called 'We Be Stupid'.
It's too obvious, I'm sure they can come up with something cooler.
Maybe 'Dope Dads'.

You know if it was before 2004 I would of said there is no way that that could be the album title
But after weird names like “solid gold hits” and “awesome I fucking shot that” “we be stupid” sounds like something the beasties would title an album, well at least the beasties that are around nowadays.
I hope it’s not the name of the new album, but if it is I will have to deal with it just like I dealt with AIFST and SGH

Fans (except KevG if this is his idea) can't come up with anything good for the beastie boys. barring AIFST, and that was still the band's idea.
see, some dumb shits think this viral marketing is a good idea. me, i think it's the lowest common denominator of a business' outlook. it's cheap to do, so it does nothing in making me respect your company. you deserve every failure you encounter.

I was still hoping for "Still Doin' It." The joke they played on Eminem when TT5B came out. (y)
Honestly, I don't see why "Awesome: I Fuckin' Shot That" gets flack. That's a pretty dope name to me. "We Be Stupid" would be awesome, too. I don't care and won't care what it is till it comes out.
