Earlier quoted context omitted.

The Beastie Boys were never out to change things. They wanted to have fun and gave us the best live performance of a one chord song ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ5yKJlhbiA

Gettin' old like Ali Boomba Yay So fed up with racism today It's time to speak up and not turn away Make the sun shine when it's cloudy and gray

Great band but these articles always need to talk up the originality or uniqueness of a given band when they just don't need to.

There were a dozen big name acts at the time doing exactly that.

"too bad they went all political" LMAO i don't know if that bit is funnier, or the bit about making bangers with "RTJ" without the "silly politics" (blegh), but either way this is an absolute top tier, genuine Laughing My Ass Off HN comment (which are very, very few and far between). why does this site have to be such a humorless plasticized tryhard-distopia all the time? you'd think with this many clever people there'd be gems like this more often.

Here's: "Killing In The Name" performed by The North Korean Military Chorus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAcYS-_8L2s
