I always thought of the Beastie Boys as kind of an unintentional parody of real rap.

Uh, 51 actually. Didn't debut that way either. I think he's going to start getting even better with his new sound, if he breaks it mainstream it could even have a Nevermind like effect. With Atmosphere so big I wouldn't count something like that out. Rap sales are falling faster than any other genre, maybe something like Rock could really hit it bigtime. A couple appearances on the Daly Show or whatever...

Save Yourself and No Regrets are both better than Coma imo. I love the Boombox production though.

ProggyMan · 05-21-2008, 09:56 PM

Dunno, that tempo change makes the song for me. I love the one liners to. 'I'll save you a front-row seat for Aesop Rock's twelve step shut the **** up seminar'.

Yah, Boombox is head an shoulders above everything else on the album. Every song on the album is good besides Labor is good though. In fact I'll do a comp instead of hijacking this thread anymore.
