My inner fan girl is losing her shit over Robin Moore's photos. I mean look how damn young MCA and Mike D are there!!

[M.C. Guevera]

Did they ever actually record any songs where Kate raps? Looking at the pics, it looks like they were switching between punk and hip-hop before Check Your Head.

I always thought that was Mike D on the phone. Maybe I am wrong.

Funny I always thought it was Yauch.

Apparently it was Horovitz on the phone, and sounds like they at least tried to perform it, once they started gettings gigs based on its appeal:
1983-4

The band recorded a four-track EP, Cooky Puss.The title track—a genre mash-up built around a prank phone call Horovitz made to a Carvel ice-cream franchise asking to speak with Cookie Puss, a character heavily featured in Carvel’s advertising—became an underground hit. It was more comedy than actual hip-hop, but it caught the ear of the burgeoning hip-hop cognoscenti, eventually leading to a working relationship with Rick Rubin, then an NYU student. Rubin would co-found the label Def Jam in 1984 with Russell Simmons, then the manager of many of the genre’s top acts, including his brother’s group, Run DMC. The Beasties would spend a lot of time at Rubin’s dorm, Weinstein, both working and partying, and Rubin would become a close collaborator, instrumental in crafting the Beasties’ new sound—a sound that made rap accessible to white kids everywhere, not only because the three were white but because they incorporated recognizably white music in their beats. But their Beastie Boys personae were entirely their own: reckless, debauched, *Budweiser-spewing goofballs.

Schellenbach: There was this friend of Yauch’s dad; I remember him being a *commercial-jingle producer. He let us come to the studio after hours to record. They had Popov vodka in the cabinets. We started making prank phone calls, and it was a studio, so we could record everything. I don’t know who had the idea to actually call Carvel and [ask to speak to] Cookie Puss, but Horovitz put on this accent … I never laughed so much in my life.

Diamond: “Cooky Puss” wasn’t a song we really could replicate live. It was a bunch of segments of stuff that we’d played, like, chopped up, and the phone call. But that started getting played in clubs, and all of a sudden we got asked to do shows in places we’d never been.

Me too!!! Yauch looks like such a livewire here, and in the other shots! Out of all of them he changed the most over the 25 years since these were taken. He looked so calm and laid back in the past ten years or so compared to early career shots where he was always grinning and looking mischievious.

These pic's are gold(y)(y)(y)

It's Adrock on the phone. Yauch is the one saying "Pussy crumbs? What are pussy crumbs?"

I don't know who says "These pussy crumbs are making me itch."

I want to know what Kate's MC name was.

[FLO MASTER]

I want to know what Kate's MC name was.


i dont think drummers can be mcs!

[peter_at]

I want to know what Kate's MC name was.

Schellebach: You’d see [break-*dancers] Rock Steady Crew; they had matching T-shirts, so we all went to Bleecker Street to get matching Carvel T-shirts with our names ironed on. And everyone had to come up with hip-hop names. I think mine was Kate Your Mate.
