Rap Treats #95: Jam Master Jay DJ Set on Westwood (1998)
In all my travels through the internet, I have come across exactly 1 recording of a Jam Master Jay DJ set - and this is it. Jay was seriously my hero growing up and the reason I started DJing so this is extra ill to me. This is JMJ spinning an old school set on Tim Westwood's radio show in the UK. JMJ gets at all the classics and even starts his set off by rappin' a verse of "Peter Piper". Shouts to StepOne for the find.

Rap Treats #94: Outkast - Live at House Of Blues (2000)
It's crazy to think that this recording is 12 years old. This is Outkast at their best in my books. I'm cool with everything that has come after (minus Idlewild), but it's this era and the previous 6 years that puts them in the discussion for best duo ever. Courtesy of TROY, here is the audio of Outkast performing at the House Of Blues in L.A. October 16th, 2000.

Classic Material: Wu-Tang Clan on Bronx Public Access TV (1991)
Courtesy my 2nd favourite site on the inter web. Wu-Tang on a public access TV show from 1991! Definition of classic material. Read the labels...
"EGOTRIPLAND.COM brings you this crazy rare 1991 interview (and freestyle) featuring GZA (then doing business as the Genius), Ol' Dirty Bastard (then going by Ason Unique), and RZA (then known as Prince Rakeem) on short-lived, local Bronx public access program, Rhythm & Soul."
Coldplay Covers Beastie Boys' "Fight For You Right" (Video)
Coldplay set their "love to the Beastie Boys" and MCA last night at their concert by covering the Beastie's "Fight For Your Right" (but in Coldplay's style). Hearing the crowd cheer for their tribute and joining in at times seriously brought a tear to my eye. The Beastie Boys music has touched so many people even Coldplay's crowd appreciated their efforts.

Rap Treats #93: Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique Demos
I wish I could hear demo versions of all my favourite albums. This is basically the blueprint to what would be come the final version of Paul's Boutique. Early versions of most of the album and some out takes make up the majority of these recordings. Even though these are demos, they are still dope as fuck. So dope that Banquet Records have pressed up a 7" Box Set of these recordings and some others.

This is dope. Courtesy of Tim Westwood, here is some rare footage from the 1986 Raising Hell Tour's London stop that features the Beastie Boys performing with LL Cool J, Whodini & Run-DMC partying on stage with them. The performance features crowd surfing, fighting, and bottles thrown in front of a hostile crowd.

Rap Treats #92: Beastie Boys - Interview Picture Disc (1987)
Here is the audio from this UK picture disc released back in '87. No music, just an interview with the Beastie Boys at the height of the Licensed To Ill insanity. Their Ricky Powell story is hilarious. Pretty funny interview. The Beastie's are obviously clowning hard. They don't really get serious until they start talking about their fans.

This was originally posted as a Rap Treat almost 4 years ago (#11), but we had to bring it back for today. This is said to be the original version of Licensed To Ill.

MCA R.I.P. (August 5, 1964 – May 4, 2012)
"Born and bred Brooklyn - U.S.A.
They all me Adam Yauch - but I'm M.C.A.
Like a lemon to a lime - a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women"
This is so sad. Adam Yauch passed away today. MCA and the Beastie Boys, along with Run DMC, LL, and the whole Def Jam movement, were responsible for sparking my love of Hip-Hop. Both Licenced To Ill and Paul's Boutique are among my all time favourite albums. Another legend gone. Cancer's a bitch.
Z-Trip does the Beastie Boys and MCA justice in his mega mix below.
Essential listening for today.
