You say you like Bboys of the Def Jam era, well they have No Sleep ‘till Brooklyn, Brass Monkey and Fight for your Right. Fan of the Echo Park period of the Bboys catalog, Sabotage, Pass the mic and Root Down should interest you. Some gems from the classic Paul’s Boutique can be found here like, Shake your Rump and Hey Ladies. The Neo New York Beastie Boys are represented with, CH-Check It Out and Triple Trouble.

Come to think of it, this cd could really serve as a decent party mix. Songs like Intergalactic, Body Moving and Sure Shot make for good dance floor material. Now I have every Beastie Boys album and would consider myself a hardcore fan, but I can still find room in my collection for this album. There is also a version that has a DVD with some never before seen videos. Now I wonder if they have the video for the single, She’s on it?
