Free Music Notes for Hello Nasty
Free Music Review: Just an amazingly addictive and accessible rap album - this is very creative and chances are you'll love it!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Beastie Boys are certainly one of my favorite rap groups of all time, mostly because they're so unique. Though they were obviously influenced by Run-D.M.C. and other oldschool rap groups (mainly for Run-D.M.C.'s signature style of the rappers cutting each other off), they still stand out creatively and commercially. What they did is essentially blend in hardcore punk with hip-hop, creating a surprisingly addictive and fun album (or series of albums, basically all their other ones are great, too)! They may not be the best MCs on the planet, but they are certainly very recognizable and have great charisma. They have a punkish sounding accent that somehow works with the material. The lyrics tend to be pretty much about nothing, but they somehow remain funny, interesting and definitely catchy. "Hello Nasty" is arguably their most accessible album as two great hits came off of it ("Body Movin'" and "Intergalactic"). These are great tunes, but the rest of the album holds up really well. It might not necessarily be for everyone (mostly due to the hardcore punk sections), but people will probably like most of the album. Highly recommended!
Highlights include:
the entire album!
Free Music Review: Super Disco Breakin'
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't believe anyone who says this album isn't that good 'cause they're wrong.This entire album will get you going.They can still rap with the best and are funny as hell "I love it when you spaz out all alone".Intergalactic is amazing and great but the one song that will have you playing over and over again is Super Disco Breakin'.This song could be the greatest song ever, it's easily the greatest rap song ever. The beats on this song will make you take notice.It is pure rap bliss,pure music bliss and I'm in love with that entire song.The lyrics,the beats,the style... hell I'm moving to Manhattan 'cause of this song alone.What's also great is there are so many good songs on this album so you will have many favorites.Who would have thought that one simple disc can bring this much fun.This album changed my life forever. Lets just hope the Beasties will release Super Disco Breakin' as a single so everyone can hear it.If you don't own this album pimp yourself off to get the money and buy if you have to.A must buy to complete any cd collection.If the Beasties read this thanks for making my life,my world,and my future seem so damn good.Free Music Review: Sounds from everywhere and how they rule!
Hit: 5 Stars
I think west coast radio has it right in dumping the Beastie Boys in with white alternative rather than the rap set. Their historically deft sampling (mixed with punk attitude, when not with punk sound) has had obvious influence on a massive number of late-90's west-coast "alternative" stalwarts such Sublime. At any rate, Hello Nasty raises the bar on the competition. The B Boys prove they're smarter, funnier, and can draw on a much larger musical context than their "competition". Whether they're pulling in material from Tito Puente or Igor Stravinsky, the Boys show an amazing knack to integrate everything into something cogent. Listening to the longish 22-track album, you feel like you've been everywhere. Heard everything. Like you're listening to the history of mankind's musical exploration trapped onto a 5-inch disk and slyly squeezed to fit into an hour of your life.
The hooks are catchy, from the ludicrous, spacy, psychadelling Intergalact! ! ic to the more traditionally-rappy Super Disco Breakin'. This monster is a landmark.
Free Music Review: The Beastie Boys be getting down with no delay

The Beasties' latest offering serves up yet another eclectic sampling of their musical range. Where else can you get to hear MixMaster Mike (of San Francisco's own Invisibl Skratch Piklz), Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori, and Luscious Jackson's Jill Cuniff, as well as one of the Boys SINGING, all on one album? The variety of songs on this CD are as endless as a Las Vegas buffet. One need only listen to Ill Communication's "Sabotage," "Heart Attack Man," and "Sabrosa" to understand what I mean. It is this stark difference in musical styling within the same CD is what I love the most about the Beasties; for sure, their intent is to not let the listener become complacent and "comfortable" with strictly hip-hop or punk rock grooves. They want to keep their listeners on their toes. And believe me, they do. Favorite tracks: All of the tracks with MixMaster Mike, "Song for Junior," "Electrify," "I Don't Know," ! and of course, the deliciously addictive "Intergalactic."
Free Music Review: Another winner

You really have to respect the Beastie Boys. Since 1986, they've been releasing music that explores ground from whiny rap-rock to Dr. Seuss cut-and-paste insanity to jam-band-that-raps, and now to the old-school yet very new-school sound of "Hello Nasty". They've also kept the quality remarkably high; "Hello Nasty" is either the Beastie's second-best or third-best album (behind "Paul's Boutique" and possibly "Check Your Head"). The rap tracks are consistently great, with highlights like "Super Disco Breakin'", "The Move", "Three MCs and One DJ", "Unite", and the monster crossover singles "Intergalactic" and "Body Movin'". They even find time to travel into the worlds of techno ("And Me"), dub ("Dr. Lee, PhD"), and acoustic guitar songs ("I Don't Know"). It's always nice to see people continue to experiment, and it's even nicer to see the experiments succeed so well.
