Ah, this album really takes me back! The sophomore album from the Beastie Boys, produced by the Dust Brothers. These original white rappers transformed their sound from rowdy antics to a genre - bending 'hip - pop' style. Both sides of this LP are filled with unforgettable beats and raw rhymes. Tracks like 'Hey Ladies,' the energetic 'Shake Your Rump,' the funky 'Shadrach,' the well - known break on 'High Plains Drifter,' and the metal - infused 'What Comes Around' showcase a wide range of styles. It's easy to see how this album paved the way for their big hit 'Check Your Head.' This black vinyl, housed in a deluxe 4 - panel gatefold sleeve, is a must - have. Originally released in 1989 and reissued by Capitol in 2023. Reviewed by C'mish in 03/2007.
