Time To Get Ill
I finally heard the new Beastie Boys song, Ch-check it Out.
The music is tight and the lyrics are reminiscent of the Rock the Mic days but, damn. Time catches up with all of us, I guess.
Listening to middle aged white men rap is sort of like watching a 70 year old clown tell fart jokes to a room full of kindergarteners.
I'm not finishing that metaphor. I think you can figure it out.
Take note that the song made it's world debut on this week's episode of The O.C. There's a joke in there somewhere.
Now, doesn't Tibet still need freeing?
Comments
I hate the Beastie Boys. They were good when they came out, then they became a bunch of posturing art-school douchebags. Lefties, too.
Over on Alarming News is a link to Rick Rubin produced Jay Z song which features the oldschool beastie boys Licensed to Ill sound. In fact, the guitar chord that's the center of the song sounds a lot like a muddier, deeper version of the opening guitar chord on Fight For Your Right.

Jay-Z rules, yo.
And I say that with the utmost sincerety.
