beastie Boys get a bad rap

I think it was a liitle unfair to group the beastie boys with the likes of eminem and vanilla ice. aside from being white they have little in common with these other artists.the beastie boys are real musicians who play and write their own music. they were a punk band before they broke through with their album "lisence to ill". their album "ill communication" is not only an excellent hip hop album it also includes some innovative funk and punk songs. i dont think it that their musicianship should be over looked which it was in our discussion last friday
