Get It Together


Another Friday, another workout album.

Today’s record comes spinning at ya’ from three fine upstanding boys from Brooklyn.

Yes. Those three boys.

The Beastie Boys’ “Ill Communication” was originally released in May of 1994 and is still seen as a highlight of 90s alternative music. Mixing their tried-and-true hip-hop roots with an eclectic stew of rock, punk, lo-fi, and jazz instrumentals, the Beasties shine with complex and often trippy grooves.

The cameo from A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip is worth the price of admission alone. But—same as last week—this is not a kiddie friendly album. There are vulgarities sprinkled throughout.

As a bonus, here’s a cool a cappella version of “Root Down”.
