Re: MCA Tributes
“Like a Version” is a Friday-morning segment on the Australian radio station Triple J, where artists play live versions of some of their favourite songs.
Aussie hip hop group the Hilltop Hoods paid tribute to MCA with their version of “So What’cha Want”. The interview at the start is pretty great (0:13). Interesting to see a two-way division of the lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY8vf4RWNE4&feature=plcp IMO they fucken nailed it. Didn’t attempt to replicate/mimic the original (impossible feat); just stuck to their own style. I thought it worked. ( vs on YouTube would suggest I’m not alone.) Also – the rounded Australia pronunciation of “can’t”……. @ 1:46 ie……..“you cahrn’t front on THAT”………....….made me grin. <3 |

so maybe a lot of you guys have seen this now but i just found and watched it for the first time yesterday - awesome tribute video to MCA — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBVGo...ure=plpp_video and also, check out this new video of this guy, pretty distinct style from the Beasties, but he's singing at a lot of different spots in NYC, including a couple of the new MCA murals - check 1:50 and 3:02 for starters also the Confucius statue in Chinatown and happy dancing kids at 3:45 - there's a line or two in here that remind me of "why do politicians always want to fight?" from "we got the" from to the 5 boroughs also i think Yauch and the guys would like the statue of Gandhi from Union Square Park in NYC (1:38) interesting stuff

The music I used in the video is a homemade mix of a few Beastie tracks. I did it in a hurry on the day he died and it’s pretty dodgy as a result. Not my best work. I wish I could’ve done better but……..under the circumstances……..whatcha gonna do? The original track is called “A Year And A Day”. Yauch recorded it in Koreatown, LA, wearing a tricked out jet pilot’s helmet. True story. If you want a copy, call Paul's Boutique and ask for Janice. Their number is 718-498-1043. ;-) I used the instrumental version, too, which you can find here http://www.beastiemixes.com/acappellas.php on the sensational Beastiemixes.com website, hosted by the legend himself, Silence7. He’s charming, he’s dashing………he’s rental car bashing. BTW – it is very nice to meet you! I love to see a new username………….Beastiefans unite, aiite? |

Re: MCA Tributes
I was thinking about the accent on this. This is pretty cool. I don't usually like veastie covers too much. if I just listen and minimize the video, its cool.
