This track draws your ears to the catchy chorus verse that makes everyone want to sing along, and the saxophone phrase flowing behind it.

It’s uptempo and would definitely hype up a live show.

The music video has a vibe like it was shot at a live performance, so check it out if you get a chance!

Dedication-Beastie Boys

It’s a track included on the album ‘Hello Nasty.

‘ Throughout the entire song, the sound makes it feel like a UFO is constantly flying around, which is really striking, and it has more of a toasting vibe than a straight rap.

They always amaze me with fresh, innovative ideas, and this song doesn’t disappoint!

Electric WormBeastie Boys18rank/position

Electric Worm

Beastie Boys, who achieved great success from their debut as white rappers, had an enormous impact on the scene through their wide-ranging activities—from innovative music that never stayed in one style to launching a trend-setting label and magazine, and even engaging in social causes.

They originally came from a hardcore band, and a major strength is that all three members can play instruments.

In 2007, they shocked listeners by releasing the instrumental album The Mix-Up, recorded with vintage instruments.

Electric Worm, included on The Mix-Up, delivers a cool, subtly stylish sound: a track swirling with a dark, funky groove that even hints at dub, topped off by Money Mark—practically a fourth member—on Hammond organ.

It’s fantastic!

Fight For Your Right

New York’s mavericks of the hip-hop scene, the Beastie Boys.

This track is their signature song and biggest hit.

The guitar riff is so famous that it could really hype up a live performance or even serve as exciting background music at a school festival.

Beastie Boys – Get It Together

The sampling that sounds like an old-era piano really defines the arrangement of this track! Plus, the radio-like noise creates a vintage phonograph vibe.

Meanwhile, the rap goes on relentlessly—almost mechanically—as if ignoring the track in a sense.

Hey LadiesBeastie Boys21rank/position

Beastie Boys – Hey Ladies

It’s a track from the album “Paul’s Boutique.” What greatly shapes the feel of this song is its light sound, as if the low end of the track has been cut.

The way they drive it all the way through with basically one groove and one chord—that’s the Beasties’ cool factor, right?
