Release HSCPT1 or not?

[pesto pizza]

Do you think its a good idea for adam and mike d release any new material under the Beastie boys name like Hot Sauce committee part one or just retire from the band,I'm REALLY unsure what is the right thing to do.
I would'nt want endless re-issues with bonus tracks and best of's,but maybe HSCPT1

[JohnnyChavello]

Do you think its a good idea for adam and mike d release any new material under the Beastie boys name like Hot Sauce committee part one

Yes. Emphatically, yes.

[JasonP]

Is this a serious question?? Of course...I agree about reissues and best ofs...but I want as much unheard material as they have available.

[ScarySquirrel]

I'd love it. But, ultimately, the guys are gonna do whatever they wanna do... and something tells me it just isn't in the cards.

I'd love to be wrong though.

[Late-Night Lion]

I think music will be released. They wouldn't have mentioned that they were recording last fall in RS if they didn't intend on releasing some music.

[Brother McDuff]

I wouldn't expect a full release with the tour treatment and press cycle if that's what you're implying, but perhaps years down the line it will get released. I think we can expect a handful of posthumus unreleased releases over the next coupla decades. I mean, isn't that what bands/labels do once a group is defunct? Seems to me they've got more than enough material to follow this trend.

[The Ron]

They wouldn't have mentioned that they were recording last fall in RS if they didn't intend on releasing some music.

I'm with you here...I'll cross my fingers

[Randetica]

yes please but without a tour

[Guy Incognito]

Not bothered if it comes out as hsc pt1 I would happily wait for them to put their efforts into compiling a lot of the unreleased stuff together and really put a quality product together which would be a great tribute to their friend... but only when they are ready.

And as for the recording name for any new stuff, i think they will take same approach that New Order took.

[YoungRemy]

I wholeheartedly look forward to the remaining recordings from the hsc sessions and the Fall 2011 sessions with an ailing Yauch.

as long as they (Mike and Adam H) do it with the utmost respect and care and on their own terms, they can do it in one or two more albums.

then comes the compilations and unreleased releases, etc.

they can do an Anthology Sessions Part 2, get video and or film collaborators with an Oscilloscope stamp of approval, etc. (does that make sense?)

[birdfloatindown]

Yes, and I'm sure they will release some stuff, eventually, although I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it. I'm sure it would be far too painful to listen to anytime soon. Maybe in 5 years or so, they'll be able to go through everything and see what they have.

[PortlandBGirl]

I really hope they release some of the material, I think it may take some time though.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

I think they will release other unassociated material but I don't think they'd release part one without Yauch.

[Kid Presentable]

Whatever direction it takes, my thinking is that MCA would want them to get onto it sooner rather than later. To help them heal, and to get back to what they love. Especially given how much of a holding pattern they've been in for all this time.

Much like he'd want us to not dwell on feeling sad, but instead be grateful for every day in moving on.

Parts of HSC1, mixed with parts of the Fall 2011 stuff, or all of both individually (depending on how much they actually recorded at the final session) is what I could feasibly see them releasing. Maybe some muted press (probably with a lot less goofing around), and no tour.

And though they may well re-name themselves and continue making music, there could still be Beastie Boys releases. Just no new material. The Joy Division/New Order analogy was apt.

It's crazy that it's come to this.

It would be cool to hear unreleased stuff, new/old/whatever, just to hear more of his words/thoughts/growth/etc. I'd prefer to hear it raw though or in whatever state it's in now. The magic, and I just finished the commentaries again, is in three's. I don't think there is much beyond that now and I'm not sure I'd want to hear something that would be completed or tweaked with after.

Been thinking a lot about music in the years to come; what they could possibly do for themselves, for the fans, and for him. One thought....start a band naturally. Some old players, some new, maybe the only appropriate bass player would be Horivitz himself or Darrel Jenifer....not a replacement, just the dude who plays bass in this band. But just go wacky crazy fun. Make so different not to be confused with Beastie Boys, yet upon closer listen so deeply rooted in everything they did. Some rhymes, some singing, a lot of playing/jamming, scratching....just play. And name the band Brooklyn. Just bring it back. What band name could possibly be cooler for MCA without throwing it in people's faces. And since there was a band Brooklyn and since we know the history and have heard the demos then it's just a bit more inside-special.

That's just about as nutty as it gets I guess but I thought it sounded pretty cool, and as a fan who has been deeply moved in the most bizarre way by this...I kinda said to myself, "yeah I'd be pretty cool with that!"

This is rad thinking. I had a half-baked idea flowing on from yours about Kate and John guesting on a song. Who knows what comes next. Adrock and Mike D could bring a warped kind of Outkast/Bad Brains thing.

It's too soon to do it but as I've said elsewhere, I'll support whatever decision they eventually make. Whenever that is.

[Bernard Goetz]

There's really Brooklyn demos out there? :eek:

Yes for releasing new material, when, how, under which name...I don't know.

[Bernard Goetz]

yep

Umm, a lil direction? :D

[laurie_hammy]

After hearing about them recording not too long ago I dont know what im more excited for. That or HSC PT 1. HSC era is on par for me with Ill Communication. I just really hope they do release the music.

Thanks - too bad the download link is dead, but great to read about the band. Guess I never checked out that page on Beastiemania.
One song's called "I Don't Know (Ask for Gratitude)" - wild.

yup (y)

[Kid Presentable]

Prof D's page had a bunch of the Brooklyn demos, including two alternate pre-CYH takes of Gratitude (the drums sound fucking BIG)

EDIT nvm it's been covered

[MrSmiley1]

Please tell me someone has the Triphammer demos too.

[Megalon X]

Think you have to consider what Yauch would have wanted. They said he's the one that called them to the studio. I think he was probably aware that things weren't going so well for him at that point, so gotta think that maybe he wanted to create some music that would actually be released.

I also kind of assumed Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 was always coming. If not, it means it was some kind of in-joke about there not being a Part 1. I always kind of suspected that. So that's wrong?

Also not mentioned yet, but is there needs to be a live album obviously since that aspect will probably never exist again, and some of us didn't even get to see them live at all.

[Randetica]

true

[llasaApso]

i said yes, but i think they should wait until 2016 for the 30th anniversary and put it out then perhaps? No tour, no performances tho.

I can't imagine Mike D and Adrock ever performing BB stuff with anyone else or as a twosome. It just would not work the same.

But maybe when they are both old men in their 70's or whatever then they might appear at some big special event and do a few BB classics with some hip new rap superstar taking MCA's role for a one off?

Hmm, or maybe not?

[Brass Monk]

Anything that Yauch was involved with can obviously be released under the Beastie Boys name. Sounds like there is some stuff that can hopefully be used to put together a final album. If so, I personally hope that Rick Rubin gets involved with it to fill the production void left by Yauch. They simply won't be able to approach it the same way (as they have with previous releases) with Yauch gone anyway.

As for Mike D and Adrock's non-Beastie Boys musical futures, we already know what that looks like as they have done non-Beastie Boys music for decades also. For the most part, I was never really into any of these side ventures. The absence of Yauch was often so evident when they would rhyme without him. For instance I remember the collaboration with De La Soul was sort of disappointing because Yauch wasn't in it. He was the glue that held them together.

Hopefully there will be 1 last album and they will take there time with it to make sure the quality is up to par. It is nice to know that this is a real possibility.

[JoLovesMCA]

I am looking forward to what Mike and Adam do with their careers. It’s all we have left and I am going to take advantage of any opportunities to see those two. But for me and many others the music of the Beasties died with Yauch. The three of them had a special connection that nobody could ever match or replace. They know that. They are probably going to release some crazy musical pieces as Mike said, crazy shit that they never got around too. I’d bet more instrumental and then whatever they did with Yauch. I imagine that with Yauch being so adamant on recording despite his condition that he meant for it to eventually make it into our hands. He had a lot to say through his music and he wanted the world to hear it.

[Bernard Goetz]

The ultimate, obviously, would be one tune that's a trademark Yauch joint with the Boys+ backing his vocal with some live dope band shit. Anyway, I'm sure there's one of those type of vocals in the can and that alone could have some Watching The Wheels-like potential.

Or he just wanted to hang out with his boys and goof around in the studio like old times. Personally, I highly doubt any of the stuff from those sessions will ever surface. I think they were more about the process than the result really.

me too. although now who knows.

I guess we'll find out the answer eventually.

I'm under the assumption that it is already being worked on. Recent twitter posts from MixMaster Mike show that he's in the studio with Mario C and they contain the hashtag #ripmca

I thoughtfully disagree and anticipate the new material as a gift to the fans and indeed part of a process for Adam H and Mike

If it happens, I could see there being hardcore.

Also, Hello Nasty was an album that didn't overly lean on there being 3 Bboys at any one time. It could be similar in structure to that. Or not.

I do really like the idea of crew gathering to add input and honour dude.

The song with De La Soul was just a bad idea. SQUAT? I don't think anything could have saved that. I don't know what Adrock and Mike D was thinking.

If they do release a final album, I don't think it will be called HSCPT1. I'm sure they will come up with a new title.

[Brother McDuff]

im trying to remain calm, for this could just as easily be in reference to Mario producing a new Mixmaster release, right? :o

it is heartwarming to hear that Mario is back in the fold, in whatever capacity this may be, that is.

[JoLovesMCA]

Well he referenced MCA in that tweet. I am pretty sure this is something related to those songs that they recorded together in those final months.

damn. :(

[MrSmiley1]

I really hope it has something to do with the last recording sessions.

If I were Mike and Adam, I would have handed it off to trusted friends (Mario C and Mix Master) to work on because I would still be wrecked.

[JohnnyChavello]

damn. :(

Why? That's great news.

[JoLovesMCA]

Why? That's great news.

I don’t mean that’s its not great news. I like seeing the old team together in the studio whether it’s for Beasties/MCA or MMM, but their reasons for getting together also bums me out. Don't mind me....

[Megalon X]

I'm glad that it may be Mario C. I have no idea why people were asking for Rick Rubin for a project like this.

[ClarenceAlabama]

99 problems by Jay Z was the first hip hop record Rick Rubin produced in over a decade and he proved he still has it.

Don't front on Dj Double R! :)

[Brother McDuff]

all due respect, I think this is getting a little blown out of proportion. that tweet could mean a million things. now the word 'project' is getting thrown around? :confused: homeboy's been gone barely a month, I highly doubt any wheels are turning here. i would gladly be proven wrong, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here; mario and mike have collaborated on their own in the past.

It just doens't fit for whatever they were probably doing recently. Sure it would be nice for them to have done another album with Rick Rubin, but they kind of left that style behind starting with Paul's Boutique. It would have had to been some kind of pre-planend project or something. I guess they're probalby on friendly terms with him, but I still think they were pretty adament about distancing themselves from Def Jam, and that's the first thing a Rick Rubin produced record would remind people of.

I don't think anyone who posted on this thread still isn't in mourning. I know I am.

Not that it's a comparable situation, but I'm reminded that MF Doom when he was in KMD finished the album, Black Bastards, shortly after his brother, Subroc, died, because that's what he would have wanted. For him, finishing the album was part of his grieving process since making music with his brother was a very strong part of their bond. Not that's what Mike or Adrock would do or how they would grieve, but it's just an example.

[LuciferHam]

Didn't they just return to the studio to re-record parts for Hot Sauce Part II such as the re-recorded rhyme at the start of Too Many Rappers? And other production stuff.

Or am I mistaken, did they return and perhaps record new tracks?

I'm not suggesting they should get Rick Rubin, but if they did, I don't think it would be LTI pt.2. Rick Rubin is very talented and I'm sure he would make some really good songs that would be different from LTI.

Did you see the Make Some Noise video? The Def Jam jacket was one of the highlights.

I don't think it was a diss. The whole Make Some Noise video includes so much of the Beastie history. They threw so many things in it, you would have to be a hardcore fan to catch it all. Somebody on this board made a list when the video first came out, but I can't find it.

Yauch was a genius. I'm glad his last video was one of his best!

[Kid Presentable]

That seemed like a diss to me. He's washing windshields. Could be wrong, but that was my interpretation of it.

Mike gave Johnny Ryall a Def Jam jacket, to the chagrin of Russell Simmons. That's Johnny Ryall washing windows on the Bowery at a quarter to four.

I hate posting this....but wasn't there a rift between Yauch and Mario that led to the separation after HN? I thought I remember reading that back in the day. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but if I'm right it definitely wouldn't make sense for him to be working on the final trax.

I mean, that shit came from like one poster on here. I never bought it. I just figured they never phoned anyone when they started TT5B, and Mario was doing his own shit out on the West Coast or back home or wherever.

I can in the very least see Yauch being dogmatic enough to push for self-production/self-engineering just to be able to say they could do it.

Fuck it, what do I know though?

[Bernard Goetz]

I've always dug SQUAT! too, for the record.

I was disappointed with Squat and Spam. I had such high hopes when I read about them. I was excited the Beasties would be rhyming with legendary mc's. After listening to them the first time, they didn't live up to my expectations.

On Get it Together with Q-tip, they delivered!

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Spam. The song is ok. I'm the biggest Adrock fan in the world. I just felt Adrocks high pitch voice and Milk's high pitch voice made it a little "high pitch overload". Lyrically, the whole spam subject was a little iffy too.

My favorite Beastiie side project where they rapped on somebody else record was Hurricane's Four Fly Guys. That song is so underrated. Adrock is on fire on that track.

Definitely not alone. Some of my favorite shoutable Adrock rhymes.

Anything that Yauch was involved with can obviously be released under the Beastie Boys name. Sounds like there is some stuff that can hopefully be used to put together a final album. If so, I personally hope that Rick Rubin gets involved with it to fill the production void left by Yauch. They simply won't be able to approach it the same way (as they have with previous releases) with Yauch gone anyway.

I've always wondered about this too. That guy seemed pretty convinced on his knowledge regarding the situation. it was a very personal issue according him, if I recall, and I know it's none of our business, but it sure would be enlightening to know where the breakdown occurred. who knows, it coulda been nothing; just the bboys wanting more cred. regardless though, I imagine they squashed it long ago, Mario C has received his props from them plenty since.

I wonder how Adrock and D fit into this equation with Mixmaster and Mario. Were they present, did they send them some material to work on, are they even aware the two are in the lab? A loaded tweet with many exciting possibilities.

Check out this clip of Rick Rubin producing 99 Problems by Jay Z. Mike D. is hanging out in the studio with them...

Thx for that clip. I read about that on Beastiemania but couldn't find the vid or pics.

Yeah, Rick still seems to have a relationship with them so it's not impossible. It's a fun idea IMO

The song with De La Soul was just a bad idea. SQUAT? I don't think anything could have saved that. I don't know what Adrock and Mike D was thinking.

If they do release a final album, I don't think it will be called HSCPT1. I'm sure they will come up with a new title.

I didn't think SQUAT was horrible, just lacking (lacking Yauch especially). A collabo with De La and Beastie is/was certainly a great idea.

If anyone sees any posts or articles regarding HSCPT1 you should post it on this thread. ;)
