Ideas for a Post-Beastie Boys Super Group

[Megalon X]

I don't know, I've felt like crying for over 24 hours now. This is one of the few ideas that I thought of that gives me some feeling other than that a big part of my childhood and hip hop is gone forever.

This is my idea, Run DMC also went through a similar tragedy a few years ago. Maybe Mike and Adrock could merge with Run and possibly DMC to form a new group. There could also be other members that are oldschool hip hop allumni. Other people that come to mind:

Biz Markie
Slick Rick
LA Sunshine (Ok, I don't know if this guy even MCs any more, but I've always been upset he didn't have a solo career outside of the Treacherous Three).

Handling production:

Adrock
Prince Paul (Who has been neglected since whatever dumbass reason lead to De La Soul not wanting to be produced by him anymore).

So kind of an oldschool super group for an album and maybe a tour at least.

Thoughts?

Might appreciate the idea in a while....far too soon though now I think. There is no replacement :(

Not really a replacement. Just an idea. I know how you feel, I was filled with so much grief yesterday,and I still am. I don't know I guess posting this is just my idea for therapy.

theres already talks with jam master jays son to fill in his father footsteps to try and reunite RUN DMC.

[M.C. Guevera]

Do Rev Run and DMC even talk to each other anymore?

I don't know. Actually, I was thinking Run would be a stronger possibility due to DMC's problems with voice and everything.

[M.C. Guevera]

DMC put out an album in 2006. He can still rap, his voice is just incredibly different now.

[Miho]

I'd love it if Prime Minister Pete Nice joined Mike and Adam. Always loved his style.

[M.C. Guevera]

You know, it would have been cool to see Yauch and MC Serch on stage together, 20 years after the beef.

A Beastie/3rd Bass live mashup would be something else.

[JoLovesMCA]

He just DIED! I can't be thinking about what they can do as a band without him. Not fucking now. God! :(:(:(:(:(

I just fucking can't!

And really I don't want to.

I am happy for the rest of you that look forward to something like this. I am too broken to even PLAN something like that.

sorry. i'm out.

[aimlessly]

WOW....I agree with JoLovesMCA. Its too soon and anyway no one could ever replace him. No disrespect to anyone out there but he was one of a kind and I right now cannot even think about that. With tears and prayers "We love you MCA" You will be missed greatly.

exactly how i feel, like wtf

[jayjacobson16]

No offence, but what the fuck? He died yesterday. Now you're already in talks about a new group? You sound like a label exec. Let's not talk about What's next musically. Their friend just died.

[Kid Presentable]

This is a daft thread. I felt bad for a couple of asides about what the two would do with regards to retirement in another thread, but maybe this is a bit much. I'm not going to tell anyone how to deal with their grief, though.

[spockon]

...too soon dude...too soon...(n)

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

I'm sorry bro but way too soon.

[silence7]

No :(

[kaiser soze]

MCA was not a goldfish -

can't just pop out to the pet store and get a new one

[greedygretchen]

I'd just be happy with a Bboy cirque du soleil. Or I know they could do an MCA hologram ala tupac.

[Megalon X]

Listen, I understand the anger, which is understandable, but that was not really my intent with making this thread. Honestly, I've never gone through so much grief over someone dying that I didn't know since 911 probably. Seriously, I felt like part of my soul was ripped out of my chest when I heard this news on the radio.

Imagining something like this was the only way I knew how to put some kind of light at end of the tunnel for me. Maybe I should have kept it in my head, but I didn't, my bad.

No, I don't think MCA is replacable. That was kind of the point, since I'm talking about a new group. I'm pretty sure the Beastie Boys are done forever and I would never argue MCA could ever be replaced.

On the other hand, I'm sure they'll want to do something musically again. This was the point of this thread, I'm talking about way in the future. Not now when it's obviously too soon. I don't think I"m acting like a label exec, I'm just thinking like a fan I guess.

And I'm not talking about a replacement. I'm just talking about something different. Like how Gravediggaz is different from Stetsasonic despite incorporating two members from it.

If people found this thread offensive I'm sorry, but again I didn't mean for it to be. I was grieving for a long time before I typed that, so it's not like the immenseness of what happened wasn't in the front of my mind.

[silence7]

No worries, it's just been a bad few days for all of us... Time will tell what will happen. ;)

[Nerd Fight]

In this situation sometimes you may say something that other people may think is insensitive...even though your intentions aren't that way.
I know everyone here pretty much feels the same way though; everyone's grieving, in their own way.

I hear you, my man. No problem. You're family. Much love.
