Hello Nasty 20th Anniversary. Favourites?
Just sat down and listened to it properly and intensively on wax with a proper sound setup.
Here are a few reflections on what a few of my favs are Single: 3MC's & 1DJ / Negotiation Limerick File Video: 3MC's & 1DJ Non-Hip Hop Song: I Don't Know, Song For The Man Non Single Hip-Hop Track: UNITE / The Move Best use of a Sample: Barbara Lynn Poor Old Trashman on Unite Best guest: Miho Hatori / Lee Scratch Perry MVP of the Record: Ad-Rock Best B-Side: Dr. Lee PhD Dub / Piano Jam Best Remix: Intergalactic Fuzzy Logic Remix There are some songs on this list that have changed continuously over 20 years and some that have not. What is yours? |

Re: Hello Nasty 20th Anniversary. Favourites?
my MVP's of this record was Adrock's SP1200, MMM, and Mario C's mixing.
I still can't get with the Bossa Nova though. |

Single: Intergalactic. First song I ever listened from them, and an absolute masterpiece.
Video: Intergalactic: same reason. Non-Hip Hop Song: sneaking out/ song for junior/ I Don't Know / picture this... I love them all! Non Single Hip-Hop Track: UNITE (agreed) Best use of a Sample: the body movin beat is so great imo Best guest: the singer of Picture this. weird I don't know who she is MVP of the Record: Ad-Rock (agreed) The beats are so amazing, from the beginning until the end Best B-Side: Alive, if its allowed as a b-side Best Remix: Intergalactic (Prisoners Of Technology Remix) A style of music I'm not into, but I love this track.

Re: Hello Nasty 20th Anniversary. Favourites?
Always my least favourite B-Boys record (discounting TMU), although I do appreciate it.
Body Movin' and Negotiation Limerick File remain two of my favourite Beastie Boys songs. Intergalactic, while overplayed, was perhaps their best ever lead single. I also have a lot of time for The Move and the rather underrated Just A Test. Sneakin' Out The Hospital conjures up a real...vibe? Atmosphere? I'm not sure what exactly, but it is easily their most appropriately-titled instrumental! For me, Twenty Questions was the superior bossanova cut but I Don't Know is not without its charms. Much preferred the live performance video of 3MC's to the album version. For me, there's just too much B-material elsewhere in my opinion. Can't fault the ambition, but (as I've said before) a lot of HN comes across as the soundtrack to a cartoon Beastie Boys movie. Playful sure (the likes of Instant Death aside), but no real edge to any of it. I think the album's either side of it blow it out the park. That said, to mark twenty years I will certainly play it later on in the week - and I will enjoy it, particularly the skit about playing basketball in the rain and not getting wet!

Just a Test is a high water mark for the boys. This song embodies all they were up to 1998 and all they were to become afterwards. In my top 5 songs of all time.

Single: Negotiation Limerick File
Video: Intergalactic Non-Hip-Hop: Dedication Sample: "El Rey y Yo" by Los Angeles Negros (from The Move outro) Best Guest: Mixmaster Mike MVP: Mario C, for the logistics and alchemy required to reign in such chaos B-Side: Peanut Butter & Jelly (criminally overlooked) Remix: Negotiation Limerick File (41 Small Star Remix) my reigning desert island album, how I love thee. let me count the ways... joking aside, this is easily the most impactful music purchase I've ever made. total game-changer for me at that age, in regards to how many hats a group could wear, and how many styles an album could straddle, yet still maintain a cohesive identity. really opened my mind.
