I don't know if the "R.I.P. MCA" Run DMC logo was created on here, but either way, I'm now seeing it on Twitter.

There's also shirts on eBay already...

You know, i think they're ok, but i'm fucked if i'd ever line the pockets of some prick making money off the back of this. Now, if the money was going to the milarupa fund, or something else in the name of Adam....i'd consider it. Still a bit tacky though, eh?

i kind of don't like the smell of any of these "buy x and a certain amount will go to charity"

instead of buying something like that, why not just give $ to charity?

I dont know why cause its making me feel worse but iv been going Beastie crazy lately looking at old videos I have and videos on youtube etc. I came across a photo from flickr of them at the Fight For Your Right Revisited Premiere an it looks like they are answering questions from the crowd. Is there any video fo this anymore that anyone knows of ?

" know, we should have tweeted and instagrammed every sad, happy and inspired thought, smile or tear by now. But honestly the last few days have just been a blur of deep emotions for our closest friend, band mate and really brother. I miss Adam so much. He really served as a great example for myself and so many of what determination, faith, focus, and humility coupled with a sense of humor can accomplish. The world is in need of many more like him. We love you Adam. BTW this photo sent to me by a friend, (thanks Saslow) is just one awesome example of how NYC is such a unique place that amidst it's huge size and frenetic pace it really opens up it's heart in so many ways and on on so many levels in times like these. And though it makes me cry sometimes, it has been really amazing and moving to see."

I am 26 years old. I have fond and early memories of the Beastie Boys' music. The earliest was when I was three years old. I have an older brother who was always on top of the new hip hop that was coming out. I remember running around my room like crazy while License to Ill blasted through the speakers as loud as possible.

I have followed the Beasties ever since. When I think of the 90's I automatically think of the Beastie Boys. Which makes me think of the videos and the imagery. So Watcha Want, Sabotage, Sure Shot, Intergalactic, etc. I became a huge follower and supporter of the band. Through vinyl, cds, shirts, posters and dvds to a vast collection of performances and concerts. I am blessed to have seen them in concert multiple times.

There were times in my life when I fell off path and was heading somewhere that wasn't good, or wasn't me. Every time I felt hard times, it was always the Beastie Boys who helped me get back on track. When I suffered from manic depression and bad anxiety, it was once again the Beastie Boys and their music that helped me fight.

They helped me find light again and again. Time after time. Not just musicially, but how they live their lives. The way the care. The way they appreciate their fans. The examples they set. They way they fight for what is right in this world. They are leaders. They make me feel good and proud to be a fan. I love them for that.

Which brings me to MCA. Adam Yauch. I just want to say how grateful I am and how much I love this man. I send out all of the love that I possibly can to his family and friends. Yauch has taught me many times in my life. I have learned things from him that I never would have learned anywhere else. Not only was he so mellow and cool, but he was so smart and intelligent and I loved learning and listening to him. He has inspired me and changed my worldwide perspective on many different levels. Spiritually, musicially, creatively, comically and on a basic human level. His musical genius is huge. From his rhymes, flow and cadence to his funky, rough, raw and gritty basslines. He was an innovator. The Boys were innovators. It will forever be my duty to inspire as much people as I possibly can to the legacy of Adam Yauch and the Beastie Boys. Thank You Adam. Thank You Mike. And Thank You Adam Yauch. Much Love.

Enjoyed reading this about MCA by somebody at Fuse TV. Made me smile thinking about how those three might have been interacting while he was sick. And it made me sad too. :/

I know. And the worst thing about it is that you can paint a picture in your mind and literally just see it all ending...

that was rough. and beautiful. i have visions/daydreams/call-them-what-you-will of how i imagine the boys are at various times and it's nice to see someone express that so poignantly. and be reminded that i'm not nuts.

Well I just fucked up and listened to I Don't Know.

Why! Why would you do that??? I’ve still not listened to the Beasties. I’ve been trying. I’ll get in my car and look at my IPOD and think yes I am gonna do it but then I chicken out. I don’t know will never happen. It just won’t.

[Tam_Tam]

I've been listening to them pretty much nonstop since it happened but not his solo stuff. Then I kind of absentmindedly listened to Namaste and was alright. So I thought I Don't Know wouldn't be so bad either. That shit ended my night. I will not be doing that again.
