jay-z

[cj hood]

to replace beasties in jersey city....

[pm0ney]

H to the OV, I used to move snowflakes by the OZ/ I guess even back then you could call me, the CEO of the ROC.

He fuckin rules. While no one can replace the Beasties, Jay Z is as close as your gonna get for my money.

[Kid Presentable]

I like Jay-Z.

[CatchaGroove]

good job by APW; not quite the B-Boys but not bad at all.

[pshabi]

It'd be dope if he covered something. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Dude's got mad class to go with mad skillz.

[MintyFreshBeats]

maybe he'll do one of these:

[YoungRemy]

it would be really cool if he gave Yauch a shout-out. Or if any other artists at the festivals gave love to MCA and the Beastie Boys. Kind of a solidarity thing.

Taking it to the next level, can anyone mass produce some MCA buttons to hand out at the festivals?

a la Chuck Daly fighting cancer, all NBA coaches wore a "CD" lapel during the playoffs this year...

[Brother McDuff]

maybe he'll do one of these:

wow that stuff's pretty solid. (y)

[Randetica]

i actually listen more to jay z than the beastie boys but maybe that will change with their new album

[faz]

maybe he'll do one of these:

Heh, what a plug :)

I cant see him doing a cover tbh, maybe Hello Brooklyn 2.0 :)

[MintyFreshBeats]

I can't vouch for the validity of this, but I just came across it...

Check the comment at the bottom:

Doug says:

Actually the remaining 2 Beastie Boys have decided to make an appearance, just before Jay-Z. It's not on the schedule and not being announced, but is happening. I've been working on production over in Liberty State Park and that's the latest news.

The remaining 2 Beastie Boys??? I hate the sound of that...

[pm0ney]

Seriously. That was worded horribly.

[CatchaGroove]

Adrock, Mike D, Nas, and Jay-Z on the "Too Many Rappers" remix?

With Q-Tip? W/ the Pharcyde? Just the two of the them...

All good with me...

[LosFirenze]

This announcement should really get the rumor mills running about Jay-Z collabo on HSCp1!!!

????
:confused::confused::confused:

An "appearance" by Adam and Mike means they'll walk out, say a few words to the crowd, mention Yauch and thank everyone for the well wishes, and then intro Jay Z. I think somebody may be reading into this incorrectly.

[DJ_Skrilla]

Yauch isn't dead. My God people. He will probably come out too and say something and get a standing ovation for being strong. Cancer is very beatable especially if you have access to the best doctors money can buy.

"i got more rhymes then I got grey hairs, and thats a lot cuz I got my share."

[mickill]

I think Jay-Z said something about how he's planning on buying the Beastie Boys.

[cj hood]

jigga's doin a warm up gig tonite with clipse and the riz-oots!

[Kid Presentable]

I hope they don't announce the end of the band.....

[pshabi]

Holy hot shit!

I hope they don't announce the end of the band.....

Way too early for that, even though I think it is only a matter of time before it has to happen. Fuck Cancer.

[Kid Presentable]

You've been wrong lots and lots before, but I hope you're right. I just can't shake the feeling that carrying on might wind up in the 'Too hard' basket.

[pshabi]

You've been wrong lots and lots before.

So true, but this got a laugh out of me.

[Kid Presentable]

I mean we all have. I'm happy to be wrong this time.

[Kid Presentable]

Sick of waiting to hear anything. Here are some news pieces, no mention of Mike and Adam. Jay did No Sleep. Onya, jigga. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6HOyJFeeEI)

one (http://www.nj.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2009/07/jayz_closes_out_all_points_wes.html)

another one (http://www.nj.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2009/08/jayz_honors_beastie_boy_at_all.html)

another one (http://www.nme.com/news/yeahyeahyeahs/46432)

So, no news it seems. Is that good news?

[YoungRemy]

respect.

[YoungRemy]

q-tip, what you on the mic for?

Q-Tip is like your 9-year old child or relative putting on a performance for you: Although it is not too good, it is full of enthusiasm, so you can’t help but love it. Besides, he performed “Sucka N***a” and dedicated it to Adam Yauch, saying that the Beastie Boy was actually in the studio with him when he recorded it.

And though it was only visible on the big-screen, lead singer Karen O wore an armband that read "Get well MCA," a tribute to Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, who had to cancel All Points West when he announced that he was diagnosed with cancer.

[Kid Presentable]

nice

[YoungRemy]

Jay-Z's first festival in the States?

Jay-Z - who hails from the same New York borough as the rap trio - made sure Beastie Boys fans were not completely left out by bounding onstage and kicking off his set with the group's ode to their hometown.
He altered a line in the song to acknowledge the fact he was playing his first-ever festival in North America, replacing the lyrics, "Beastie Boys at the Garden", to "Jay-Z at All Points West", much to the delight of the crowd.
And, after running through his extensive catalogue of hits including Big Pimpin', Show Me What U Got, Encore and 99 Problems, Jay-Z gave a special shout out to Yauch.
He told the packed crowd, "I wanna dedicate this whole show to MCA - get well soon!"

[mickill]

This one (http://www.rapradar.com/focus/jay-z-qno-sleep-till-brooklynqqbrooklyn-we-go-hardq-live-at-all-points-west.html) is pretty good quality.

My report

First off: No Ad-Rock or Mike D sightings (that I'm aware of)

But lots of BBoy and MCA love at the shows yesterday. The highlights were most definitely Q-Tip and Jay Z.

Q-tip said that the Beastie Boys were his family and that he was dedicating the show to Adam Yauch "the strongest mutha-fucker I know"! Q-Tips always been good peeps. Right before he said that he started beat boxing the beginning of "Get It Together" which got everyone all hyped but then he went into "sucka Ni**a" saying that the boys were in the studio with him when he was recording it. Tips set was actually amazing. Full backing band and his energy onstage is unbelievable! He blazed through a whole bunch of tribe classics and did his and phife's verses or let the audience do phifes (Check The Rhyme). So dope. Tip's an incredible performer. Plus its always a good sign when you can feature a key-tuarist in your band!

Jay-Z

Yeah. So I don't like Jay-Z. That being said I hate him. BUT...

I had never seen him live. Opening up with "No Sleep" was a very nice touch AND muthfucker had a ten piece band that was sick as all hell. I knew every song (guess not THAT surprising) and they sounded amazing. Good shit to dance around in the giant mud pit that the festival was. I really came away with a different appreciation for him. Still not a favorite but a definite must see live.

This maybe is a conversation for another thread BUT I really came away with how much it raises the stakes (especially live) for a hip-hop act to have a live band. Definitely something the Beasties brought into the evolution of the game (and perhaps that the Roots have perfected). The MC as front man is not new or even 100% necessary (Pharcyde was great too) but good god does it up the anty. Full horn sections making unbelievable fat riffs over sick beats made by multiple drummers. Shit gave me chills. Not saying there won't always be a place for 2 turntables and a microphone and a dope lyricist, but if your putting on a really big show then may as well put on a really BIG SHOW.

End of rant.

Show very enjoyable, despite almost being sucked into the inner bowels of hell through various mud portals.

(y)

[pshabi]

Props to Jigga. I knew he'd do it right. Reading/watching accounts of the show and the well wishes from various artists, I'd be lying if I said a tear or two didn't well up in the eye. Bboys forever.(y)

[YoungRemy]

he kept the Yauch line intact and added the Jay-Z at All Points West. cold kickin it live.

Beastie Boys never on vacation...?

[Guy Incognito]

i really cant think of another bboys song that would make as much sense by jay z covering it. well apart from anything with brooklyn or new york in the title i suppose but its nice he even tipped his hat in that direction

[mickill]

^ like Hello Brooklyn (2.0) for example

[Guy Incognito]

^ like Hello Brooklyn (2.0) for example

well yeah thats what i said i just thought no sleep seemed a bit more apt, tis all

[jennyb]

*wipes tear*(y)

[Laver1969]

Cosignin'

[CatchaGroove]

say what you will about Jay-Z, but when it comes to the roots of hip hip - Shawn Carter gets it.

Good work Hov.

[misspiggy]

brings me goosebumps and tears!

[pshabi]

Not to shit up a good thread, but were we aware of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GSxUB-EF2g)???? That's not pretty.

[jennyb]

oh my :confused: I don't know about that. It's a nice gesture I spoze. But yeah uhm, yeah. That Coldplay cover sounded how should we say... SUCKY. I think they could have done another song better perhaps.

[Brother McDuff]

Not to shit up a good thread, but were we aware of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GSxUB-EF2g)???? That's not pretty.


blecchhhh. worst cover ever. it's hardly paying homage if you completely shit all over the track.

[Guy Incognito]

its nice that he did it i suppose but its just so wrong. i wonder if its the only one he knew but he's tryiing to come across as down with the bboys, it smacks of trying to do the right thing but he fucked it right up, i mean if you are going to cover that song, get the whole fucking band involved , its not a piano and vocal track and it aint ever going to be.

he should have done "i dont know" or summat.

anyway thanks but no thanks, a few words would have sufficed

[Jiberish]

Not to shit up a good thread, but were we aware of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GSxUB-EF2g)???? That's not pretty.

I assumed I'd hate this, I did not. It wasn't great, but it is it always nice to hear a different take on a classic song. You can the crowd yell BEASTIE BOYS, and they obviously loved.

This song would work really well as a "piano and vocals" cover if it were done more in the style of Little Richard, or Jerry Lee Lewis. Crazy piano hammering, and more of a yelping style in the singing. Ben Folds could do it.

[b i o n i c]

that wasnt even good in a tongue in cheek sort of way. god i hate coldplay.

[acamus]

consignin'. coldplay is the most insipid music i've ever heard.

[pshabi]

blecchhhh. worst cover ever. it's hardly paying homage if you completely shit all over the track.

It would have been better (just shit, not diarreah) if he would've played it a key or two higher.

[mathcart]

Yeah- While I obviously do not think much of Coldplay or their cover, I had the same reaction, and I think you hit the nail on the head with your above comment.

In fact isn't it time for the piano man to give back some of the love the boys are always throwing his way. Goddammit Billy- give us a hot piano cover!

[milkboy009]

LOL
That Chris Martin cover was tURRRRRible..... then again i can't think of any beastie song (of the more popular ones) that would make for a good Coldplay cover.

[milkboy009]

Also, Jay is the man for that tribute, bet that live band is awesome!

[Jiberish]

In fact isn't it time for the piano man to give back some of the love the boys are always throwing his way. Goddammit Billy- give us a hot piano cover!

YES! exactly. Followed by Elton doing a cover of Biz and The Bboys doing a cover of Benny & the Jets.

what a great gesture by jay-z...and i nice cover too....

[The Notorious LOL]

Beastie Boys never on vacation...?


I bet he did that intentionally, actually.

[DJ_Skrilla]

Jay-Z was good, and all his lyrics were intentional.
Q-Tip is awesome, that was a nice shout-out for Yauch.
Coldplay can go suck a fat dick for that horrid cover. Seriously gay and insulting.

[b i o n i c]

"hooooooo!!!! yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! hooooooooo!!!" :rolleyes:
