Comment:

The Beastie Boys might have one of the most remarkable — and artistically profound — cases of multiple personality disorder on record. To compare another artist to them, you'd first have to ask to which Beastie Boys they're being compared. Is it the mosh-pit mayhem of their "No Sleep Til Brooklyn"? Then check out Anthrax's hardcore rap-metal smashup, "I'm the Man," (which, incidentally, predates Run-DMC's collision with Aerosmith). Or maybe you dig their tribute to Willie Bobo, "Son of Neckbone"? Then dig into Cypress Hill percussionist Eric Bobo (Willie's son, and an alternate Beastie) tearing into "The Phuncky Feel One." And while he was two years away from hitting the lab with Beasties vets the Dust Brothers, the Beck of "Beercan" was already revealing a similar itch for next sounds and never-ending reinvention. From Public Enemy and the Jungle Brothers to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kid Rock, we've got all hip-hop heads, headbangers, and alt-rock heavyweights who shared the airwaves and stages — sometimes literally — with the Beastie Boys.
