So lets just suppose that..

you have just had a hit album and you're record company says that to record the next one you have the choice of a beastie boy to produce it.

Who would you choose and why?

I'm not too sure of the lads production history but that doesnt really matter anyway, who would you think would get the best out of you creatively or help you make the most interesting music. And yes they could appear on it.

Ad-Rock, i think he'd be the most electronic out of the three and thats what i like. Plus i think he'd keep me in a good mood, he seems a funny guy.

Good question.
I gave it to MCA....nothing it though, tough call. Reason I choose him?
Seems to be the elder statesman..lol

[M|X|Y]

d has the best taste (y)

[PWN productions]

Choose Ad-Rock, simply because i think he's the most talented in creating beats 'n stuff. I thought he once said he collects beats, just like i do (y)

i think he mentions it in those reason vids that were posted recently.

Obviously Adrock. He's done the most production by far and is highly skilled at scratching and using drum machines/sampling. Let's not forget he was once known as DJ Adrock.

i still think its a close call, i understand Ad-rock has done the most but its more about the beastie boy you would trust the most musically i suppose. Regardless of previous production

i think mike d would bring a good vibe and a varied seelction of ideas and MCA would be clinical, precise and have some mental ideas.

I'd take AdRock circa Hello Nasty era, a.k.a. the king of sample chopping.

Anything he's produced ever since he switched from the SP12 to Reason has somewhat been pretty cold and generic for the most part.

I imagine Horovitz as a more hands-on administrator; offering himself, so-to-say. He would be like the 'participant' type producer who has an exceptional hand in the actual arrangement of the songs. Developing parts on his own and immersing himself in the creative, visceral end of it.

Yauch, he seems to be more of the 'expressive', 'make you sound like you as authentically as possible' type producer. The guy that is more concerned with coaching an honest, true-to-self recording. I sense a producer/engineer quality to him as well, considering his interest in recording.

Diamond, I feel, would be a more rounded, potpurri of sorts. He's got the creative flame, the executive element, and a dose of spirituality as well. His interpersonal skills would prove the most effective, I think, wherein I could see Adrock's sarcasm or MCA's intensity getting misinterpreted or misdirected in the studio from time to time.


Verdict: Mike D. :)
