Our Take

Ah, the Beastie Boys, the kings of hip-hop mischief, the purveyors of irreverent rhymes and funky beats. Their 1995 EP "Root Down" is a delightful romp through the band's eclectic musical influences, featuring live performances and remixes that showcase their signature blend of rap, punk, and funk.

The title track, "Root Down," is a funky, high-energy banger that will have you grooving from start to finish. With its infectious bassline and playful lyrics, it's a perfect example of the Beastie Boys at their best – laid-back, irreverent, and endlessly entertaining.

Other standout tracks include the jazzy "Time to Get Ill" and the rock-infused "Jimmy James," both of which showcase the band's versatility and talent as musicians. The live versions of these songs capture the Beastie Boys' raw energy and charisma, making you feel like you're right there in the crowd, bouncing along with the rest of the fans.

Overall, "Root Down" is a must-listen for any Beastie Boys fan, as well as anyone who appreciates good music and a good time. With its catchy hooks, clever lyrics, and infectious energy, this EP is a perfect reminder of why the Beastie Boys will always be legends in the world of hip-hop. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and let the boys from Brooklyn take you on a wild musical ride.

Beastie Boys

BEASTIE BOYS are the irreverent rap trio that burst onto the music scene in the 1980s, blending punk rock attitude with hip-hop swagger. Made up of Mike D, MCA, and Ad-Rock, these New York City natives became known for their high-energy performances, clever lyrics, and infectious beats. Their groundbreaking debut album, "Licensed to Ill," was the first rap album to top the Billboard 200 chart and featured hits like "Fight for Your Right" and "No Sleep Till Brooklyn." The group's subsequent releases, including "Paul's Boutique" and "Ill Communication," showcased their genre-bending sound and innovative production techniques. BEASTIE BOYS are also known for their DIY ethos, often producing their own music and directing their own music videos. Their eclectic style and fearless experimentation have influenced countless artists across multiple genres, solidifying their place as icons in the music industry. Despite their success, BEASTIE BOYS have never taken themselves too seriously, always maintaining a sense of humour and a rebellious spirit. Whether they're rapping about partying, politics, or pop culture, their wit and charisma shine through in every track. With a career spanning over three decades, BEASTIE BOYS have cemented their legacy as one of the most innovative and influential groups in music history. From the streets of Brooklyn to the stages of sold-out arenas, their music continues to resonate with fans old and new, proving that the boys from New York City are here to stay.
