Hier der Nachfolger des "Check your head"-Albums, das musikalisch mit sehr harten, derben Raps und Musik in die gleiche Kerbe schlägt. Im ersten Song "Sure shot" stellen die drei MCs sich vor, wobei Ad Rock gleich eins klarstellt: "I´ve got more rhymes than I´ve got grey hairs". Der zweite Song "Tough guy", in dem es um den ehemaligen Basketballspieler Bill Laimbeer geht, hätte so auch von Punkveteranen wie Minor Threat oder den Dead Kennedys stammen können. Rap bzw. HipHop ist ein hartes Geschäft und "Putting songs together ain´t no puzzle like Yahtzee", erfahren wir in "B-Boys makin´ with the freak freak". Das Instrumentalstück "Bobo on the corner" dient dann erstmal zum Runterkommen, bevor der Song "Root down", der auch als Single ausgekoppelt wurde, die Rapmaschine wieder anspringen lässt. Das folgende "Sabotage" ist eines der bestens Songs der Beastie Boys und auch das Video, indem sie als Verbrecher gejagt werden ist sehenswert. In den Texten werden viele Vergleiche zu Berühmtheiten gezogen, die ich erstmal bei Wikipedia nachschauen musste, allen voran, bei der folgenden Textzeile in "Get it together": "Yes I´m getting funky and I´m shooting all my jism like John Holmes, the x-rated nigger". Dass sich die Musiker auch für die Erhaltung der Erde, genauso wie für die Freiheit Tibets einsetzen, kann man in "The update" hören. Das Instrumentalstück "Eugene´s lament" wartet dann mit jazzigen Momenten und einem Geigensolo auf. Immer wieder betonen Mike D, MCA und Ad Rock wie gut sie rappen bzw. reimen können: "Building rhymes like a Stonehenge druid" ("Do it") und "People looking at me like I was David Koresh" ("The scoop"). Hardcorepunk, allerdings mit ruhigen agen wird dann noch mal bei "Heart attack man" geliefert.
Diese drei weißen, kaputten Typen sind im HipHop einfach nicht mehr wegzudenken.
