Produced by the band’s early collaborator and Def Jam co-founder, Rick Rubin – ‘No Sleep Till Brooklyn’ is the band’s most memorable homage to their home city. Killer lyrics: “Oh, we just had to kill it/We on the radio hotter than a skillet/We in the club making party people holla/Money in the bank we be getting top dollar” While the mainstream embraced a new generation of rap heroes like 50 Cent and Kanye West, this 2004 hit showed that The Beasties could still hang with the best and have way more fun while doing it. Killer lyric: “Break up with your girl it ended in tears/Vincent Van Gogh go and mail that ear”Īcting as the opener to their first album of the ’00s, ‘To The 5 Boroughs’, the band showed no signs of growing up on this bombastic hit. ‘Hey Ladies’ became a cornerstone moment for hip-hop sampling, and remains a remarkably cohesive hit for a song that is flipped on its head every 45 seconds. In under four-minutes, the band and producing duo Dust Brothers incorporate songs by Deep Purple, Commodores, Kool & The Gang, James Brown and more for a thrilling ride through pop history. Killer lyric: “Well, just plug me in just like I was Eddie Harris/You’re eating crazy cheese like you would think I’m from Paris”
