In retrospect, yes it would be terrible if it was just patching together random shit. But I remember reading somewhere that they were recording new material right up to the point of his passing.

It would only work if they had some stuff in the can that already had MCA's blessings but just maybe needed to be mixed or polished. The way it seems to work with them that all 3 of them collectively have to turn the key / push the button before anything is released. But I agree id rather have them keep an untainted legacy than something crappy released just for the sake of it.

I guess I was just a huge fan of the last Tribe album and am always longing for new Beastie Boys material.
