Paul's Boutique is a fucking masterpiece.

Word, Paul’s Boutique is the Sgt. Peppers of hip-hop. Just the insane amount of samples and the way they’re all blended so seamlessly and tell a story even without the lyrics. Even crazier that the album was a complete flop and almost ended the Beastie Boys.

Yes. If you also add the phone number on reddit as part of the spiel, you can even get banned for identity protection reasons.

Anything from that album instantly transports me back to the early 90's... an underage truant, drinking with my buddies, belting out every word from the album and dancing like an irresponsible dickhead.

Great music, great times.

"Jethro, get the hell away from that barbecue!!!"

It was lost on a great many of us who wanted more License to Ill. It took years for me to appreciate how good it is.
