I found the Too Many Rappers video!

[Eoin MCL]

Hey guys and gals, I rarely post on here but I believe I made a major discovery this evening. While on a bus journey watching the credits of the "Don't Play No Game" video on my iPad I spotted the name Neal Usatin. Recognising it from his previous work on Oscilloscope Labs projects I Googled the name to see what else he had worked on. During my digging on his website 'sweetcutz.com' I found his online résumé which curiously listed a credit on the unreleased "Too Many Rappers" video, directed by Roman Coppola. Further digging unearthed the treasure we have been looking for these past few years, thought by some to not even exist. To me this is the biggest news from the boys since that sad, fateful day in 2012. So here it is, my fellow Beastie heads! Please enjoy, it's better than I could have ever imagined!

Holy shit! That was dope! More thanks than I can offer.

Unreal find, well done!

Best find ever -- super thank you. This is an amazing video revealed and found. It was privately listed in September 2013 (see below). I cannot determine when it became public. If someone could rip it quickly before it becomes private again that would be amazing.

Thank you for sharing, ahhhhhhh, so cool!

[dirtydan11]

that was great to see! thanks! I wonder if that was pre-production? It must have been done the same time of Bonneroo performance Still has the MCA verse before they decided to change it from the touchy subject matter too.think that might explain why it wasn't released?
Anyways, thanks again for the find of the last few years! that's one of the things mentioned in the vault thread that's now checked off. How can we download this before it gets pulled? I made an iphone video of it off screen lol

It got noticed by Pitchfork and subsequently by someone at Stereogum.

Superb work

Bittersweet but glorious. A great video - all I ever want is the three of them delivering to a roaming camera, it's unbreakable.

And still (in my opinion) the superior version of TMR.

edit: and further respect to Nas for his heartfelt involvement - the man is loving it.

I am impressed the media picked up the story pretty fast.

In the newly unearthed clip, the Beasties and Nas run around a grocery store and a park in search of a good time. Stream it above and count your blessings that some deep-digging Beastie Boys fan found it (h/t Stereogum).

Let's hope there is so much more like this waiting to be discovered.

Thank you Beasties.
Thank you Yauch. You are eternally missed.
