Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Members Only EP ” Lorde vs. The Beastie Boys vs. G Unit

Day three of our super special Labor Day week of exclusive remix’s’and I’ve got another two song set for y’all to enjoy; I’m calling this one the Members Only EP and Lorde’s “The Love Club” set’s the backing for the two acapella’s of choice. First up, The  Beastie Boys’ “Body Movin’,”  a song that I actually never really liked; at least not in the context of the entire Beastie’s catalogue but then again it’s a rather large and rich catalogue. Following things up is G Unit’s ”Eye For An Eye,” which unintentionally seems timely to me since they made the news by closing out Chelsea Handler’s Late Night show run earlier this week.

I actually found something in the neighborhood of 30 possible combos’ could be done using “The Love Club” as the instrumental when making a mashup. I even toyed with the idea of doing all 30, releasing one a day for an entire month but I abandoned it as it seemed like a sure fire way to make something I enjoy doing into a task.

Listen, download and share from below and look back tomorrow for the next batch of celebratory tunes.

It’s been just under a month since the passing of legendary artist/musician Adam Yauch (MCA) of the Beastie Boys and the tributes have been popping up around the world. Recently Shepard Fairey put up several tribute pieces around the Los Angeles area that utilize iconic counterculture photographer Glen E. Friedman’s shot of the band with the words “Posse In Effect, R.I.P. MCA 1964-2012.” 

R.I.P. Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys

A very, very sad day as news comes in that legendary Beastie Boys MC Adam Yauch, aka MCA, has passed away due to cancer. He was 47 years old. The Beastie Boys are one of the most important and influential hip-hop groups of all time, just recently being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Adam most certainly left his mark on this planet and will be sorely missed.

Throwback Thursday's: Beastie Boys – The Late Show With Joan Rivers (Jan 15 1987)

The Beastie Boys are always good for a Throwback Thursday, they have such a long and rich history with many phases worth returning to. One such period was the License To Ill era, a very different Beastie Boys than that of the 90’s and on. This week we are sharing a performance by the rappers on The Late Show with Joan Rivers circa January 15, 1987. The young Beasties perform “Fight for Your Right” and have a chat with host and legendary comedian Joan Rivers, the whole thing is a car wreck but in the best possible way. Seems like everyone had a blast doing this.

Throwback Thursday's: Beastie's Paul's Boutique Record release party, 1989

In 1989, The Beastie Boys released the epic Paul's Boutique album on Capitol Records.  The album achieved critical acclaim, went double platinum and today continues to be mentioned amongst numerous Top 100 albums of all time lists (Time, Rolling Stone, Spin, etc.).  For the albums release, a party took place on the rooftop of Capitol Records and here it is in its entirety.

Its long,.. about an hour and most of the time your finger will be on the fast forward button but its worth a look to see Mike D in all his cartoonish glory, the Boys awkwardly mingling with execs and just being overall stoned and mostly incoherent.
