I agree. I took it as they will never record or perform again as "Beastie Boys". The group is retired, but they would do other projects as Mike D and Adrock.

cool track!

i like it alot. entire album is good even though 1/2 is repackaged from nothing is quick in the desert.

rare to hear the elder statesmen in rap, especially the big 4 together. wonder if LL was indeed supposed to be on the track, he's named checked twice.

dj lord cuts nice

flava sounded good rapping the 1st verse

[Kid Presentable]

Love it.

No MCA on Rest in Beats...other than that it's solid.

they say his name in the outro.

surprisingly strong record for them, however Mike and Adam's contribution felt a little corny to me, tbh; more of an afterthought than a legit feature. cosigning the Yauch omission too on Rest In Beats. wtf ?

The original version of Rest in Beats that was on "Nothing is Quick in the Dessert" included MCA.

ive listened to this song around a dozen times, i like it. it's so rare to hear our champions on new songs, let alone a full record like PE. a few thoughts, RUN is still the shit. dude could always rap and despite some questionable choices in production and some bad career trajectory moves, and JMJ of course, but i think RUN should be held in higher regard as far as his MC skills. DMC is more preachy than the Rev but that's ok, he's earned it. chuck D is still top 5 at 60 years old. subjective yes but he sounds strong.

last...wish more legends would release full lengths.. would love to hear a new BDK album, slick rick, epmd, LL has one coming, eric b/rakim, etc.. rap is funny like that i guess....
