WHAT?

The first record is crap and was only good at the time because it was new.... and I was like 13.. As a 37 year old now, I NEVER listen to that shit..

"Paul's Boutique" is a classic..

"Hello Nasty" is right up there with "Check Your Head"....

Why do people always hate on "Ill Communication"?

You're missing out then. I've listened to it a crap ton the last 2-3 years. It's come full circle, imo.

there's a funny story about mike d taking mushrroms on the paul's boutique commentary.

[Guy Incognito]

i would offer that if they had done a shitload of e then the music would have sounded different. only because in the late 80's early 90's that drug was associated with house music/techno scene and if they'd been knockin back the pills chances are they would have been going to raves, so i dont think they did that. just an opinion

LTI is a pretty good album. I don't hate it, but i only really like 3 songs. People act like that album could even compare to the others.

Shake your rump and Car Thief beat that whole album.

To the 5 boroughs laughs at LTI in it's sleep.

and every other album does similar things to LTI...

This is an unfortunate discussion.

[Rodie]

In the Paul's Boutique book someone mentions (I think one of the Dust Brothers) that pretty much everyone involved in making PB was on hallucinogens and quite frequently too.

[brmanuk]

They obviously did weed, shrooms and Yauch was into LSD. I'm sure in the PB 33/3 book, a member of the Dust Brothers says they were smoking a lot of base at the time. Thats pretty hardcore. The boys definitely smoked dust, and if this video is anything to go by, sold dust too.

There was an article in Ego Trip Magazine, with AdRock, where he said he had tried heroin.

Hmmm, I really hope you're kidding about the selling dust bit. Adrock is clearly joking when he says that. According to Yauch, he only smoked dust once, and it was by accident. Someone passed him a joint backstage at a Murphy's Law concert that was laced. And lastly, I've read the 33 1/3 book a few times and dont recall the base-smoking reference at all.

Weak topic. This whole thread is already brimming with sensationalism.

i have no memory of this topic back in the day and that's good.

Not sure if it was just saving face, but isn't there an MCA quote about a fan saying something like "I smoked angel dust because of you!" and he was like "We never smoked dust, it was a joke..."

Also that link to the stage show... I think Mike just threw in "angel dust laced weed" as a joke to explain why he seemed so hostile in the video. They've been pretty open about talking about mushrooms and weed and there are enough LSD references that it seems pretty obvious Yauch at least was experimenting with that. Adrock also seems high as hell in a lot of CYH era interviews, not sure if he just smoked a bunch of weed or if he was on something stronger.

Anyway... it seems unlikely they were big time hardcore drug users considering they managed to keep their shit together somewhat. If they ever had a burnout phase they kept it pretty well hidden.

I'm also glad they never became like a "drug band" with marijuana leaf merch and shit like that. Corny as hell IMO.

[Brother McDuff]

i was taken aback by how forthcoming they were about the night they all tried crack together, during the PB days. can't exactly remember where that recollection surfaced from, but fairly certain it was directly from the band. in fact, the photo where Yauch is standing on the back of the console at Ocean Way(?) is cited as that very night. pretty sure Mario referenced that experience too in the RedBull interview, though some crafty editing sidestepped the exact implication. both accounts conclude that they were not very into it though.

i also remember the French liner notes from 'The In Sound' referring to them as glue-sniffers, which I always thought was simply a case of lazy translation. however, in an interview on B Real's Smokebox podcast, Eric Bobo recalls his times with the group and says some shit like, "those dudes introduced me to mushrooms, yeah, but I wasn't into sniffin' glue". not a direct quote, mind you, but that was the gist.

speaking of Bobo, have we ever pinpointed exactly who Mitchell was in reference to in the autobiography?

i think it was Yauch that said he only ever smoked dust once, and it was by accident backstage at a Murphy's Law show. a joint that he didn't know had been laced.

they also have said that they only referenced dust so much because they thought it was funny, and Russell was smokin' it all the time.

I love Ill Communication. I think its my most listened to album.

[M.C. Guevera]

Didn't Yauch say in an interview years ago during the Hello Nasty era that they exaggerated their drug use in their old songs? That they never did angel dust or sniffed glue?

Hahahaha!

That's bad. Well, this is hard to know because maybe not even they know what drugs they did back in the old days. I've never done drugs, but I believe that if after being wasted you don't know what the hell you did the other night, then you wouldn't know for sure if you had anything different during the crazy effect.
