Licensed To Ill by The Beastie Boys: The Most Overrated Album This Side Of Nevermind.

Sat, 1 May 2004 14:35:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jeff_wilder78 - Many hardcore Beastie Boys fans swear by Licensed To Ill as the band's masterpiece. However, I personally find it to be their weakest album, much in the same way I find Ten to be Pearl Jam's weakest album. I personally suspect that many of the people...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PacManY2J - Who would have thought that three white goofballs would someday be regarded as one of the greatest rap groups ever? Probably not anyone watching them open for Madonna in 1984 (and also not my college professor who went to school with "little Mikey...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mr.Tordensjold - I have never been a huge fan of rap music, even going so far as to question its status as "music." Not that I am unfamiliar with rap; some I have found to be quite entertaining, such as Cypress Hill or this album from the Beasties. I remember in high sc...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blinkrox87 - being 16 means that this album is older than i am. I don't listen to Eminem or 50 cent but i hear their songs on the radio and on the TV and i think that they could use a little advice from the BeAsTiEs themselves....we all could. License to ill is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author boom5251234 - Ahh, Beastie Boys. Ive first heard this guys on MTV, I don't remember how long ago it was though.

The original bad white boys of rap, the B-Boys also were one of the first bands to hit it big in the rap industry. The New York threesome with the help of...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dastr8poop - I bought License to Ill when it first came out, I was probably 13 or 14 at the time, because I had really liked the Cookie Puss 12” that had come out a year earlier. The music has since become pretty well known, many people of my generation who bought...

Licensed To Ill by The Beastie Boys: Center stage, on the Mic … it’s the new style.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ericgreene - You gotta fight, for your right, to party! The Beastie Boys defined late 80s hip-hop with this youthful, controversial CD. In an age where guys like Eminem are big hits with twelve-year-olds, this album is quite timid, but back in the late 80s,...

Licensed To Ill by The Beastie Boys: White, middle-class, Jewish rhymes, boyeeee!

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 01:05:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - The Beastie Boys, love 'em or hate 'em, is one of those bands that got white kids listening to rap. Run-DMC, naturally, was about the first act to "break through" to a white audience, and their work helped open the door for the Beasties. The...

Licensed To Ill by The Beastie Boys: The Beastie Boys - "Licensed to Ill"

Fri, 26 May 2000 03:33:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mr_D - There's really no point in me telling you how influential 1986's Licensed to Ill release from the Beastie Boys is. In fact, it almost gives me the shivers that teenagers were born when this album came out, all the kids who are into hip-hop and rapcore...

Licensed To Ill by The Beastie Boys: Party for your right to fight

Tue, 23 May 2000 16:29:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Andrew_Hicks - Licensed to Ill is regarded as a classic by most, but to me it's just a pretty good, out-of-date album that serves as mere introduction to a hip-hop act that had a hell of a long way to go. I'd say Paul's Boutique, released three scant...

Thu, 18 May 2000 22:18:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eSwifty - Beastie Boys are a living beast. I believe that Beastie Boys rule because they reflect the way you live. Licensed to Ill has all you need to show how everyone else might live. What other band talks about how much your parents hate you or how your...

Licensed To Ill by The Beastie Boys: Rap/Rock Done Right

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 01:15:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MattA75 - I have absolutely no idea why this whole rap/rock thing is considered new in the music industry, or that it's surprising it's successful. Run DMC did Walk This Way which started it all. Rage Against the Machine have put out 3 platinum albums...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thresh - When the song "Fight your Right" hit the airwaves, I personally think it was the most overplayed song ever.. it is like THE party anthem. I can't go to any party with out hearing it at least once.. but you have to remember ONE song doesn't make...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brenden.s. - The beasty boys are one of the feircest rap bands out their besides ICP and Twiztid. In my mind this is one of their best cd's almost as good as the greatest hits album. The cd is full of hillarious tracks the best one is probably girls I always find...
