Members VirginiaHamilton Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sad news to hear, since he was 1/3rd of one of my favorite rap groups of all time: http://gawker.com/5907713/beastie-boys-founding-member-adam-mca-yauch-dead-at-47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 I heard about this yesterday. I didn't even know he was sick. I LOVE "Fight for Your Right" (although I know the band wound up hating it to the point that they wouldn't sing it live after about 1987), and have heard a few other songs by them as well (I LOVED them performing "Radio Radio" with Elvis Costello during SNL's 25th Anniversary special) , and would love to hear more of their songs now. RIP . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 Sad news. That type of fun and playfulness in hip-hop seems like a long, long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted May 5, 2012 Members Share Posted May 5, 2012 This bothers me more than Whitney for some reason. There is just something jarring about one day you are singing the biggest youth anthem of the 80s and suddenly you are a middle aged man dying of cancer. It is just a reminder he isn't the only one who is (was) getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 6, 2012 Members Share Posted May 6, 2012 For some reason I feel sadder about this than I did when I first heard about it. Their music was in the background of my life for quite a while and yet I had forgotten about just how good it was. I can't imagine what he must have gone through writing that letter when he knew he was probably going to pass away soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted May 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2012 Have they even been playing their videos on TV (MTV, VH1, and/or their offshoot channels)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 6, 2012 Members Share Posted May 6, 2012 From what that Huffington Post article said, the channels haven't been doing much of anything. Unless he was on Jersey Shore, nobody at MTV cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
