That being said (and I'm sorry for sounding like a total asshole here but I truly feel this needs to be said) ...what about all us goofs who have been making Beastie remixes for decades strictly so we can bust them out and surprise friends at our house party's? Kinda bums me out to hear people, fans and media alike talking about Yauch's death 'reminding' them how awesome the Beastie Boys were. It was kinda sad watching people from 1999 onward slowly kinda forget about them and act like they weren't still changing music as we knew it. It's a real shame that it takes something like this for people to come back and accept that they were bringing it from the very start to the very finish. Makes me upset I won't lie. Nobody needs to remind the real fans that they were fucking keeping hip hop grounded and pumping out solid tunes regardless of what the industry wanted for three fucking decades.

Sad.
