LICENSED TO ILL[86]-BEASTIE BOYS

DEF JAM/COLUMBIA　(FIRST PRESS ORIGINAL)

元々はThe Young And Useless名義のPunk Rock Bandであった。1981年に、(BEASTIE BOYS)と改名する。1984年、DEF JAMと契約したのを機にHip Hop Musician(Run-D.M.C./LL Cool J)たちとTourを行ったりなど交流を深めていく中で、Rap/Hip HopをFeatureしたSoundへ転換、その音楽性をRockに取り入れた結果、Rap-Rockのひな形が出来上がり、Rick Rubinに(Hip Hopを郊外へ持ち出した)と評された、以降は数多の独創的な功績を残しており、Hip Hop/Rock/Club Musicにまで広大な影響力を及ぼした、白人Hip Hopの草分け的存在である。Hip HopのGroupとしてはDJ1人とVocal-MC3人の編成。Rock Bandの編成としてはGuitar/Bass/Drums/keyboardsとDJの編成。SoundはHip Hopであることが多いが、Samplingに使われる曲にはHard Rock/Heavy Metal/Punkが多く、Rapも黒人的なRhythm感を持ったものではないが、Hip Hop Albumとしては初めてBillboard1位を獲得。当時、同じDEF JAMに所属していたSLAYERのギタリスト、Kerry Kingが参加し、Single Cutされた(Fight for Your Right)も大ヒットした。Band名の由来は、敬愛するHardcore Punkの重鎮Bad Brainsに肖り(Bで始まる単語2つを冠するバンド名にしよう)と考案したもの。(Rolling Stone)の選ぶ歴史上最も偉大な100組の Artistにおいて第77位。2012年に、殿堂入りを果たした。＊[Hip Hop/Rap]は、興味が有りませんが所有している[Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five-The Message(82)/Public Enemy-It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back(88)]と共にSoul Fan必聴！
