Hip-hop history and his influence on the musical industry is so huge that it is even not easy to tell about one aspect in a two-hour documentary Baisten. Starting from the 1970s, the genre of Ros and evolved, it was modified and complemented by truly talented and passionate musicians. Beastie Boys appeared on stage in 1979, when Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa only vaccinated American Jappy samples from Funky and Disco, and Run DMC trampled scenes of dusty clubs adidas SuperStar sneakers. It was approaching how she would be called, "Golden Era Hip-Hop". Three thin white guys from the western part of Long Island Mike D (Michael Daimond), MCA (Adam Jac) and Ad-Rock (Adam Horowitz) played one of the key roles in it.
It so happened that the young listener of the word BEASTIE BOYS is unlikely to say a lot, except that some remember the funny clip on the Sabotage song. However, without the Brooklyn Trinity there would be no creativity of many groups of the 1990s. All rapcore and nude metal is obliged to appear by Hadam Horovitsa Higher Guitar Party and Michael Daimond's drums. Limp Bizkit and Korn just rose from them, just as Eminem was born from the texts of Adam Yauka. Beastie Boys, in principle, opened the door to white man into the world of black hip-hop. Having conceived as light fun, entertainment for wandering through the streets of young guys Music Beastie Boys brought an ironic approach to the subculture and in childish naive foulness: everything that then deftly triggers the "strange email" Yankovich and in particular Morgenstern. Beastie Boys set the tone, knit taste, formed optics.
In March 2020, the light saw the Beastie Boys photobook - an album of two hundreds of previously not published photos illustrating the 35-year history of the group. A longtime friend of the team of Spaja Jones, who has shot the clips from the 1990s and for them, and for other cult groups, such as Sonic Youth since the 1990s, worked on him. To zero Jones donkey on the MTV entertainment channel and even became co-author of the "Chudakov" with Johnny Knoxville. Almost a two-hour documentary about Beastie Boys came out on the Apple TV + platform. From the scene of Kings Theater in Brooklyn, Michael Diamond and Adam Horowitz talk about the first concerts, apologize for the mistakes of youth and, of course, recall their best friend of Adam Yauk, who in 2012 died of cancer.
Spike Jones - Typical Kidalt, an adult child, whose irrepressible energy and eternal youthful maximalism are able to become a powerful engine in creativity. It would be strange if the musicians from Beastie Boys would come to another director. They cooperate with the spike since 1993, and this is really strong friendship, including because they have the same craving for everything that is unknown. It is not surprising that Beastie Boys Story is not at all similar to a typical documentary with speaking heads. Almost two hours of Horowitz and Diamond lead a full-fledged standap show. They go from side to side by stage, play peculiar waterville. There is a feeling that Beastie BOYS is simply inseparable from the scene. All as in rap: only live performance, only real emotions in the microphone presented on the court of a multi-thousand crowd. Creating a friendly furnishings, as if on a friend of a friend-musician, Khorowitz and Diamond broadcast archiving photos and videos to a large screen, constantly release jokes towards Jones sitting at the director's console. Perhaps it should look like a film about the hooligan trio.
Many facts are lowered in this story. This is not so much a detailed biography - for this you will have to read a book, "how many blinds of a certain era in the history of the group and the whole musical industry. It all starts with the history of dating against the background of love for punk rock, and ends with sports suit and parody performances in clubs, where to listen to real hip-hop. When you sixteen, and your friend has a guitar or drum installation, you need to urgently assemble a group. This happened to Horowitsa, Diamond and Yauku. Initially, the friends of friends were four: together with the guys on the drums played Kate Shellenbach, and the quartet was famous for the Bad Brains, such as Bad Brains. Music for them was an entertainment, while once they did not hear Run DMC - after that, their own experiments began. Mixing hip-hop and rocks - one of the main chips of Beastie Boys, joined them at this then no one else is known Rick Rubin, a musical producer and the creator of the Def Jam label.
The desire to change the sound, add paints to performances and create something new led to the rupture of friendly relations with the only girl in the team. Horowitz and Diamond expressed sincere regret about the departure of the shellenbach from the group, they were ashamed that the circumstances were forced them to expel it. There were a lot of nonsense for which the musicians wanted to apologize from the stage, looking into the faces of their already elder fans. Acquaintance with Rubin once and forever changed the life of Brooklyn vision: home parties turned into club concerts, further - cooperation with the Russell Simmons and the performance on the heating of Madonna. Beastie Boys became victims of their popularity.
(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party), the first and most breaking hit of the group, wondered as a mock over student fraternities, but turned into a hymn of all parties. In the early 90s, the guys from Beastie Boys looked like a walking cliché, stuck in the form of youngsters. They still collected stadiums, but no longer received from this pleasure. And when it turned out that in addition to the images, they had nothing left, the Trinity decided to break all the relationships and go to the shadow. The studio album Licensed to Ill, who saw the light of 1986, became the fastest selling debut for Columbia Records, but the musicians did not even receive the author's deductions.
1990s became the time to rethink values for the group; They found the strength not to surrender and continued to engage in creativity. In many respects shown on the screen - an instructive life story about take-offs and falls, and about how to keep the head on the shoulders when unexpected glory fell on you. Almost probably Spike Jones could remove a full-fledged film investigation, bypass all the musicians of that era, to reduce all this in the brilliant installation and at the exit to get a large documentary movie. However, instead, a chamber play was turned out, even the structure of the narrative is divided into acts. One chapter is replaced by another, a success should be successful. Adam and Michael learn the most important thing in a person's life is his business. Even the failure of one of the most personal albums of the group - Paul's Boutique - does not kill the hope of success, let it be small.
Stadiums are replaced by close clubs, but to listen to Beastie Boys come the most devoted fans. There are no longer large labels and producers, but there is freedom of creativity and music, a lot of music. Beastie Boys Have time to work with musicians from The Dust Brothers, make friends with Spike Jones, write a few more albums. On May 4, 2012, Adam Yuk leaves. Big shock for everyone. Do not approach this and participants of the group. Another two years will not be the group itself, Beastie Boys will declare their decay. And the audience will remain Beastie Boys Story - the story about how the boys became men and taught the whole world to fight for their right to a party.
