so what is your argument?
that despite being recognized numerous times by the music industry, hip hop community, and individual rappers who you respect, despite being influential in the creation of hip hop as a genre, despite working with and being sampled by some of the best names in the business, the Beastie Boys are a joke?
like, taste is one thing, and its cool if you don't like them, but they are more than just "Jews". Its kinda sad that you don't recognize how amazing they are. Their album, The Mix-Up, is a new instrumental funk release, where all the Beasties are playing their own instruments and even after 20 years are still trying to be original.
blah, I'm not going to get sucked into this, but ya, you couldn't be more wrong. Dislike the work they produce, but recognize that any rap you listen to now owes its existence to some white jews from Brooklyn
This is decent:
