it's not as clear-cut as da presumption would be, Beastie boys left Def Jam because Russell Simmons stop paying them royalties until they got back to da studio and churned out a second album which resulted in the group giving him a collective Fu and leaving to Capitol records
Russell was like, if you don’t go in the studio, then I’m not paying you…His calculation was that we would all be like, ‘Oh we want our millions. OK, Russell we’re going to do it.’ But we were all immediately, “**** you

Beastie Boys Say Russell Simmons Threatened to Not Pay Them if They Didn't Make 'Licensed to Ill Part Two'
The Beastie Boys spoke about a tricky part in the career: right after the success of 'Licensed to Ill' but before they recorded 'Paul’s Boutique.'www.okayplayer.com
Russell Simmons has since apologized. basically he tried to strong-arm them since they were a cash cow and it backfired on him.
punk rock/metal and Hip-Hop we'll all interacting in da same circles in da 80s you had Madonna hanging out with Fab 5 Freddy hanging out with Beastie boys hanging out with run DMC hanging out with the Ramones etc.
remember hip hop literally was created in New York so at that time they were performing in all the places that were geared for Rock when it wasn't park jams.... a lot of early rap music had a lot of guitar riffs so fight for your Right was definitely hip Hop. look no further than run-dmc-rock-box.
**** is heartbreaking. No sense of urgency by NYPD at all
Whoever did it hit him with a shotgun and they just let him bleed to death

What did they do hip hop, add to hip hop or for hip hop after 1988?
They ushered in the Linkin Parks and RAGE's cool, but they stopped being hip hop after their first album.
They took from hip hop had a Tyreke Evans rookie year and then jetted.
Paul’s Boutique is definitely a hip hop album and their best album overall. The production and sampling on that album is amazing. Plus they improved as rappers from their debut.
AZ could have had a leg up over alot of folks if he would have just embraced social media a lot sooner.

That social media presence **** is a facade.
These kids have millions of followers and can't sell 30,000.
this was on yo! MTV raps constantly when I was little.
remember a lot of hip hop after da 80s left & turned into da 90s was gangster rap and Beastie boys were not about that life so they gravitated more 2 Rock sounds and sailed it over damn near the entire gangster rap era... they would score with older rap groups and newer rock groups.
they always had raps in their album tho...
this was da album that was a return to their boombap/breakdancing friendly tracks.
Ehhh, I think So What'Cha Want was, but Intergalactic, no.
I think they were hip hop like I think Linkin Park and Limp Biskit.
One of my all time favsAZ been nice his whole career. all I needed as a fan to purchase his work
