I am surprised that there are not more recorded MCA/Beastie Boys tributes. I know for other Hip-Hop artists who passed to soon, there have been quite a few tribute songs if not albums. A perfect example would be J Dilla. It seems like everyone had a Dilla tribute record. I seem to remember them coming out pretty quick too.
Now I know not everyone has gotten this treatment ie Heavy D, Guru, Nate Dogg...but to me it just makes sense for MCA considering his and the B-boys influence. I want to hear Paul's Boutique as remixed by Madlib. Or a Roots cover album. I dunno maybe it will come in time.
All I know is that it did suck when Dilla passed but being able to hear "Donuts" soon after was an amazing celebration of his life. Still one of my favorite albums of all time.
RIP MCA
