I haven't been able to get on here lately I'm so sad about it

I'm gonna do a huge tribute to him on one of my entire bedroom walls with paint markers. I haven't decided what to write yet, but I'll post a pic. (if I don't fail at drawing I'd be so sad :P)

Also, this was probably already posted but it made me smile with all the references.

Billboard you suck.

I think they only did it because they just performed a song called "Fight" and it was an obvious segue way.

http://popgurls.com/2012/05/16/gratitude/ -- A great tribute from a female fan

http://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2...ng-adam-yauch/

I realized we weren’t just mourning Adam Yauch. As many would agree, we’ve been mourning our memories. Mourning an adolescence that seemed to get over on fifteen years of adulthood, from Def Jam to Grand Royal. Mourning how a record once could finish your thought, and how much that thought would cost once the lawyers realized it belonged to someone else. (The Beasties were sued for copyright infringement the day before Yauch passed.) Mourning all the goofball references and the passing of those references. Mourning the brilliantly lame Dick Butkus joke. Mourning “Got more ___ than ___ got ___.” Mourning my tattered “Live at the Fever T-shirt” that I saw Adrock wearing in the woods in the video for “So Watcha Want.” (Might as well mourn the “Live at the Disco Fever” twelve-inch and the famous Bronx hip-hop club itself, while we’re at it.) Mourning magazines that came with cardboard Miami booty jeeps in the center. Mourning once being able to write ten thousand words on South Florida Bass for said magazine and being sent to cover strip clubs in Atlanta with Lil’ Jon while Yauch was in India with the Dalai Lama. Mourning the file cabinet and Yauch’s two-foot bong chucked out of a three-story window by Grand Royal editor Bob Mack. Mourning all the memory loss from all those times spent, er, “listening,” to Check Your Head. Mourning all the woofers blown from the 808 low end of “Hello Brooklyn.” Mourning how we felt when the video for “Intergalactic,” which was directed by Yauch, reminded us of coming home from school to watch Ultraman kick the crap out of a giant radioactive artichoke. Mourning a time when you never considered how one day you’d be mourning the Beastie Boys. Mourning can be a pretty narcissistic act, it turns out.

Hey hang on, they did it proud there! No one can ever do that song like the BB's and Cee Lo knows that and won't overstep the mark. Also, you have to keep in mind that millions of people watching this show will only be familiar with this one Beastie record. And it is a classic record loved by all who hear it. (I would bet that even people who hate hip hop in general will turn up their radio when 'Fight for your right to party' comes on. )

Very telling that all these musical tributes are being performed by black artists paying respect to a white artist. I mean, has that even ever happened before in the old US of A??!!!

MCA Adam Yauch was a well respected man!!

This note from Matthew Hamilton about his one on one interaction with Adrock on MCA DAY is simply beautiful. I already posted a link to this in the tread about MCA DAY but thought it should be here, too. Neverending props to Matthew.

Canadian Rapper D-Sisive Tribute

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNo4OjdgVmw

He mixes MCA interviews and Beastie raps. @ around 2:10 "What we do is we come in and start training and normally there is about a one year preparation process for recording an album. This time we pushed that out to a six year prep, and then we recorded the entire album in one day." Yauch @ around the release of TT5B I assume.

Always loved his sense of humor.
