Adam Yauch

KRS-One is re-recording "Hip Hop Speaks From Heaven" after realizing he paid tribute to the wrong Beastie Boy.

When Adam "MCA" Yauch died on May 4, 2012, it marked the end of the Beastie Boys – but not his lasting impact.

Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz spoke at a rally organized after the defacement at Adam Yauch Park.

A Brooklyn, N.Y., park renamed in honor of the late Beastie Boys member was defaced in the name of President-elect Donald Trump.

With old-school rhyme schemes, lo-fi punk, a little Latin flavor and a lot of their trademark pop culture snark, Beastie Boys unleashed a mid-'90s masterpiece.

At the height of their powers in 1996, the Beastie Boys surprised everyone and let the funk do all the talking.

Well, now here's a little story we've got to tell about three bad brothers you know so well.

'Licensed to Ill' will tell the story of Mike D, MCA and Ad-Rock’s rise to fame, while incorporating live music and DJs.

Despite the news, a representative of the group said, "There will never be Beastie Boys live performances without Adam Yauch."

Who knows if we'd be able to party as freely as we can today if the Beastie Boys hadn't come along and told us to fight for it?
