microdic.. hahaha fuck off

sir scratchalot .. alright.. i grew up with both beasties and 311.. i graduated high school in 96, anyway, and never really compared the two bands it's like adidas and puma or whatever...the grassroots album is maybe my favorite.. they fast tracked and then they went pop or light and cheesy hard rock ..whatever.. still good one or two songs on an album but 311 just not doing it for me these days.. i was still listening to beasties who do it to it for me every time ... except for the last album.. a few good songs but ... anyway hey wtf.. i just love them both more than alot so... nothin else matter. what happened to metallica?

I don't know if there were any problems before, but the first time I remember hearing about any problems with 311 was from this vulture interview:

http://www.vulture.com/2018/03/mike-...versation.html

What’s the worst-case scenario?
Not that it’s ever happened, but my fear would be that someone would be like, You love those guys, right?” I’m sure they’re nice people — [their music] isn’t my cup of tea.

And it's just an off hand comment, I don't know if it was direct shots being fired.

In high school and college years I really liked 311, although I haven't found myself going back and listening to their stuff as much as some other bands, and certainly don't listen to them as much as Beasties, but I was a bit shocked when Mike D said that.
I agree with Sir SkratchaLot's theory though.

Jesus, who gives a fuck.

[Brother McDuff]

"goatee metal rap please say goodnight"

[ericg]

Jesus probly gives a fuck... And people who love 311 and Beastie Boys give a fuck too I guess. Both.. i mean all are "very near and dear to my heart.. " -sorry i think that was Julia Roberts that popped in there...um..

so maybe one day we'll all come together and "get high".. Austin Power's finger quote signs.. haha
Anyway time's ticking...

i need a detective to find all my past friends, make some new ones, and i need my biz to get going but this world sucks and sucks and sucks more and more... here ya go.. "bail out" by dj rogers i'm still here i'm just saying. (i think mike d played that song on little radio that i'm pulling from..)

Big ups to Beasties for the little radio show with all kinds of eclectic mind-blowing beauty and good laughs i listen on my thumb drive in the car and can't get enough but ...so all the best folks. love yall even you microdic

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

Who cares, they don’t have to like each other. If this is true.

lol, 311 was a 90’s gimmick and did not stand the test of time.
Them and sublime get cornier and cornier as time passes.

This was a non-thing and then became a very minor thing. Mike D literally said 311 are not his cup of tea and that’s pretty much it.

It’s a funny non issue. If you look up beastie Boys on google or maybe iTunes, it will suggest 311 as a similar artist or end up in a “you might like” category.

TLDR:
Mike D makes music for librarians AND burly jocks.
Settle down 311 guy

Yup. And all these sites tried to make a mountain of a molehill.

[ericg]

yeah that's true. no big deal to you but it's like .. what's it like? it's like.. to have talent like that in the same room and for there not to be a really good chemistry and experience is such a shame.. i mean.. we're all wasting time.. "the sky is falling..." -hello nasty

so.. my bad errbody! and sorry micodin. i'm a twat sometimes it's only cuz i feel fucked sometimes... but whatever not to bore you with my problems..

peace out

ps. oh all those who are cool and get it step forward... not so fast youngremy and half the other fools bent on having poor taste in music haha snl ametuer i know..

pps. 311 will always stand the test of time i wouldn't be such a critic there youngremy....

[camo]

So I just searched for 311 and gave them a listen. Who do I need to complain to about them? That shit is ghastly.

To me, and I am genuinely trying not to be an arse.... but more like Adidas and Air Walks.

But in general, and I am sure you are aware as a long time Beastie fan... they tool'd on things that weren't their style or mix of culture. 311 was never Hip Hop - not just in sound or style - but in culture. Even if their logo/brand utilized graffiti style font. It just wasn't.

So, the fact that they borrowed a bit of Hip Hop/Reggae/Ska flavor to complete their style - , left them open a bit.

Just my dumb opinion!
