Check out my cover of the Beastie Boys' "Slow Ride"

[Ruefbomb]

Hi, I'm a 22 year old who covers songs for fun using the best of his
home-recording abilities. I'm a big fan of the Beastie Boys, and I've tried
meticulously to reproduce the greatness of "Slow Ride" while
adding my own touch. Check it out. Comments are greatly appreciated.

All my songs hold no commercial value and are streamable here:

i would say better instrumentals. the singing on the non-beastie songs is okay. um...

This reinforces my opinion that nobody should cover any Beastie Boys songs.

That is not a comment on you who made this per se, more of the fact that the Beasties are too unique.

I know what you're saying BeastieRunner. I just thought it'd be a fun challenge. I've never tried to do any form of hip-hop beforehand, and my voice definitely doesn't serve that style of music very well. Thanks a lot for listening and for the constructive criticism.
