Inspired by other board members uploading rare shit, I thought I'd give you all a little treat. Here is an interview recorded in the late 80s in England with the Beasties which was released in the 90s as 'Def & Dumb' in the UK.
They discuss numerous topics including the Raising Hell tour, Russell Simmons, a 2nd album for Def Jam, and the "faggots at CBS".
Needless to say this interview doesn't exactly paint the boys in a particularly favorable light as they are in full frat-boy, obnoxious, homophobe mode. I know they later said their personas during this time were a gimmick set up by Simmons and Rubin (they actually talk about the ways in which Simmons manipulates their image) but they sure do throw the word "faggot" a lot. I guess they more then made up for this later in their careers.
Oh, they are also joined by a groupie called Lizzy who laughs a lot.
Anyway, a little piece of history for y'all.
