Thanks for the music Yauch!

[I'mTheMacaroni]

Would rather be on this BBS in happy circumstances. Shocked, sad, broken hearted.

RIP MCA!

It was 4:20am when I saw Q-Tip post saying RIP Yauch. This is the saddest piece of news I have ever heard, theres no way im gonna be able to sleep tonight.

RIP to one of my favorite rappers of ALL time. Still can not believe it. Thoughts go out too all the familys and friends.

Most of all thanks to Yauch for your music being stuck in my head for years an keeping my mind occupied in hard shit times.

[Jay Stone]

Been down with the Beasties since She's on it, and now I can't believe I'll never see them perform again. So sad for MCA's family and friends...

[beasties#1fan]

I'm done

[MIKEtotheD]

Adam Yauch has been one of the biggest influences on my life to date.
I really don't know what to say right now, besides the obvious fact that I, along with many others, are so very saddened to hear this.
My deepest condolences to his family, the boys, and anybody else whose lives he has touched.

Rest in Peace, Adam...we love you.

[M|X|Y]

this is what i was afraid of.

thanks to the universe for giving us yauch for all these years.

a lot of us feel like he's family and this strikes many of us as though he was.

having grown up listening to yauch, grown closer to the music, the message and the group.. i just can't believe he's gone.

even though we all knew that there was a chance this might happen sooner rather than later this is still a shock.

i am so thankful for the time i've/we've gotten to 'spend' with yauch... albums, shows, videos, interviews and thoughts - he has thoroughly filled our lives with a part of himself that will always live on through each of us forever.

i feel that as the man grew, many of us have grown. thank you for in your own way guiding all of us through many of the difficulties of growing up through your example.

thank you for teaching me/us that you are never doomed to be just one you, that life is all about evolution - growth and becoming a better person.

thank you for teaching me/us that individuality doesn't come from your clothes or the color of your hair, but rather from your willingness to live from your heart authentically.

thank you adam yauch.


many condolences to his family and to mike and adam.

beastie boys forever.

[Laver1969]

Wow...this so friggin' tough. I can't believe. Thoughts and prayers to Yauch's family. Rest In Peace!

[celldweller1983]

so sad just woke up to find the news. My thoughts are with his family and rest of crew. RIP MCA

[Ally Al]

such awful news

R.I.P. Adam, this is a very very sad day

[Rodie]

Rip. A true talent but also an inspiring figure.

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I'm falling apart.


Thank you Adam Yauch for everything you have done. You and Mike and Adam are the reason I am the person I am today.

You will be missed so much.


...I can't even think right now.

[MC Boulangerie]

Pfff...

[misspiggy]

This is a VERY SAD DAY! R.I.P. Adam 'MCA' Yauch! Thoughts and prayers to Yauch's family and ALL Beastie Family & Fans! Saddest day

[Axl Z]

R.I.P MCA, I don't know what else to say..
thank you for all you did

[b-grrrlie]

RIP Yauch, my main man, my inspiration, my enlightment. You meant so much to me, I'm so sorry you had to leave this life so soon. Namaste.

[Freebasser]

I am absolutely numb inside.

Adam was not only a complete and utter genius and a massively inspirational musician but also a genuine and honest person.

The fact that he would come on to these boards and shoot the shit with all of us obsessed losers like we were all just hanging out with him down the pub is testament to what a kind-hearted and accepting soul he was.

My condolences to Adam H, Mike D, MMM and all those associated with the band and of course Adam's family and friends. Without the influence of Adam and the Beastie Boys' music I probably never would've learned to play bass, have such varied taste in music or turned out to be a decent human being.

Adam, you will be sorely missed but we will always have your music to remember you by.


R.I.P.

I noticed that too!

[Sir SkratchaLot]

So sad. His evolution over the years was really a great example for everyone. The site is crashing hard right now. Thanks for everything Yauch.

[BobbyD]

RIP old friend. you changed the entire course of my life.

/pours liquor out.

[JoLovesMCA]

This is not happening.

[The Ron]

I'm at a loss for words right now. You were such an inspiration Yauch...your legacy will leave a lasting impression. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Rest in peace MCA...

[Nakniwa]

This is the first time I've felt so devastated about the loss of a celebrity I didn't know. I was lucky enough to see MCA twice in the East Village when I lived there, another time at a rally for Tibet, and another time at the Tibetan Freedom Concert. So sad for his family and the other two B Boys. And everyone generally. We lost someone great today.

[Matchstikk]

Thank you, Adam, for everything you have given me. All I can give to you in return is my never-ending love and respect. You are a true hero, MCA.

Much love,

Jay

[TommyD]

Bye Yauch....I feel like I loved you like a brother. You were an absolute inspiration to me. I am so sad.

My thoughts go out to your family and especially your little daughter.

RIP. Thanks. Goodbye.

RIP Adam "MCA" Yauch. You were a part of a group that was the foundation for my love of music. A leader for social progress. A Noble man.

My thoughts are with his family and friends, as well as with the many amazing beastie fans that have been touched by him.

That's as much as I can come up with right now, kinda speechless

[brooklyndust]
