Lightbulb Beastie Boys Gun Bars

So the Beastie Boys used to rap about guns all the time in the 80s... I know there's stories about Yauch going to the underpass in Brooklyn and letting off his nine but how much contact with guns do you think they had in a "street" sense? I could see them running into problems in NYC after the real hood dudes heard them bragging about how they carry guns and shoot people in the back... or do you think people just ignored it cuz they were so goofy?

These days the "guns in rap" thing is a much bigger issue and so it would be harder for kids like them to get away with maybe?

What's your favourite gun-related Beastie Boys lyric?



I'm going off, getting paid and I don't ask why
