Customer Reviews

Not very enjoyable
It's unauthorized! And here's how that translates on this video: There is absolutely NO Beastie Boys music in the documentary and NO footage of the Beastie Boys, with the exception of a few stock clips that were released to the general public. Also, because it's unauthorized, there really aren't any interviews with anyone who was close to the Beasties, again with one exception, DJ Hurricane. The interviews are limited to about four people: DJ Hurricane, a Rolling Stone reporter, the producers of the "Fight For Your Right" video, and a band member from one of Mike D's first bands. That's it.

It's actually pretty thin on material and I didn't really learn anything terribly interesting about the band. As a huge Beastie Boys fan, I was disappointed with this one.

Insight into the history of the Beastie Boys
I didn't know too much about the Beastie Boys until I checked this out. Interviews with people who knew them and a guide through their development from wannabes into the kings of white rap.

The DVD also has a few extras and features a great soundtrack (Submerse a UK punk band feature in the early stages, really good band!)

It's got some cool early footage of the band too, worth buying just to see that!
