Well in trying to help stem the tide, although I think the Capital war
may be over, I thought I'd keep the best of the beasties boys debate
back on the tips of everyones debates.
I stayed out of the LTI and HN question but I personally think that as
in many groups and bands a first success release as LTI was was only a
first step into where they have blending thier style and sound. For me
Pauls Boutique had my fav lyric style. But then by CYH they blew off the
dust from thier instrument and created my favourite work yet. Every new
release has evolved from there pretty well though. Still my only concern
with what may come out next is the possoble censorship that MCA might
push on the other two. The fact that Ad Rock seems to be most of thier
creative flow now days means some of his new lyrics might become
retarded my MCA new found protect the ears of the world views. If that
is the case I honestly don't think we are far from the demise of the
guys. Not that I think Ad rock will have any trouble. I personally love
that funky BS 2000 shit.
Anyway there you have it.

I hope not. I like songs like those once in a while, but it's best when
they're all intermingling in the verses with each other.

Super Disco Breakin, Shake Your Rump, Jimmy James, even something like Rock
Hard. Where they have a verse or two (or less), then switch off.

I'm not a big fan of the Sure Shot / Intergalactic / Alive type format, where
they each get a medium sized verse, chorus, rotate, and so on. But what I like
least is when the song is broken into 3 long parts, such as Professor Booty and
3 Minute Rule. Oddly enough, I really like both those two songs, but I think
the song layout takes away the potential for them to be amazing.

i'm pretty sure when HN dropped in '98 it debutted at #1, or spent time at
#1......(whether it did or didn't is not the point).........anyway........'98
was before the boy bands, latino stuff and eminem hit big.........do you think
5 years between albums combined with the latter and the their new righteous
views are going to kill this record before it even drops..........my point
is.........i'd hate for them to put out their "last" album and sink right to
the bottom..............

this is what i was kinda getting at with the other dude, it is just like they
only know LTi and hate everything else but LTI...i haven't gone so far as to
ask why...but i do get the feelings they have some ill feelings towards their
favorite band?.

why not start alt.licensedtoill.goggle

or sumt sumt...

I on the other hand plan on buying as many different versions of all new songs
as possible when they come out....but also i have no idea why i would...!

DAMN good answer....and to think i got tricked into asking myself...i think
that HN is betta than PB but that since PB has been around longer than it is
better cause its old and all original...paved streets and shit!

But you just contradicted yourself. It can't be case closed, if you're going
on just your opinion. You need to preface it with "I think" or something to
that effect.

On the subject, I'd disagree. LTI is good, and a classic. However it's frat
boy rap rock, and is as terrible as it is amazing. You're right that PB is one
of their best, as I feel it is their best. However i think their lyric writing
was the best on PB and Hello Nasty.

I also agree with you on this. However excluding those songs on the last 3
albums, the raps and songs such as Gratitude and Sabotage are much better than
what they did on LTI.

Everyone's got there own issues and causes, and Yauch's family and beliefs make
Tibet a personal issue for him. Most people do zero to help with other people's
problems, so the oppurtunity to do anything positive is a good thing, regardless
of where you're from. Yes we have our own problems, but we really have it better
than _many_ others, especially people in places like Tibet.

If you don't understand why people do humanitarian work on a worldwide scale,
then I suspect there's a lot going on that you don't agree with. I'm not here to
explain compassion to you, I would just like to see more people post here who
have other things to talk about than 'my friend says this' and 'did I tell you
kiddies'. That shit is obnoxious, I don't care who your friend is and you
shouldn't refer to people _you don't know_ as 'kiddies' in general. Don't be so
condescending...

And you still didn't answer my question.

But if no one stands up for the Tibetans, then who will stand up for me?

Also, it should be known just WHY the Tibetans are in need of help.
Especially when we start doing more business with China.

i haven't got the impression that they ony care about tibet, i think yauch took
it on as a small thing that he could hopefully help the peace...i agree that at
home issues are small too...it is just that in his belief he sees the whole
picture...ie Tibet is like a butterfly trying to spread its beautiful wings but
some one has put it in a jar and it is dying...if this could be reversed
somehow peacefully on a small level then maybe all major issues and home issues
could follow suit..

I wasn't trying to belittle any domsticate issues people try to help with, I
just meant that as few people as there are able to help, those that want to
would do more good towards an issue they feel genuinely concerned about. You
can't really ask an individual to stray from where their heart leads them.
The world doesn't seem as small a place once you've traveled to some of these
places and met the people who are being affected.

Track 4 off of Parliament's "Motor Booty Affair". ITs called "Aqua Boogie
( A psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)". Yes, thats the whole title.

As a rule I like Funkadelic stuff a lot better than Parliament (too dancy),
but Motor Booty Affair is a great CD. If you are truly interested in this
track, I'll be ripping it onto my hard drive tonight (as soon as I finish
listening) and I'll leave Kazaa up tonight and tomorrow while Im at work. I
just trust you will listen to it once and delete it ;)
