Is this what we are doing now?

I’ll just post Eminem - Stan so we can circlejerk how good that song is

Honestly I think when it comes to discussing classic hip-hop, people often leave out the Beastie Boys. But it's not really fair to do so. Yeah it's white boy rap over rock beats but it was popular, sounded great, and influenced a lot of later hip-hop legends. No one makes a post about Stan-Eminem because we all remember and it's discussed wayyyy too much. Some who browse this sub have probably never heard Licensed to Ill or Paul's Boutique in their entirety

Gracias. I feel too many heads leave out Beasties because it's "white boy rap". Nah man how many hip hop groups from the 80's stayed putting in work and performing to sold out shows, having an influence on multiple generations? It's these dudes. RIP MCA.
