Beastie Boys - Finger Lickin Good

from Check Your Head

As great as Paul’s Boutique was, both for the band and for hip hop, I think Check Your Head was the first record that painted an accurate picture of the Beasties. It showed us what they were capable of. Their DIY/punk aesthetic came through for the first time. And it was just all over the place. It’s the record that solidified their status as an anomaly, and for reasons that go far beyond the color of their skin. As was also true of Public Enemy, the entirety of their influences and their output was just so different from everything else that it couldn’t help but influence the next 20 years of music.

For more about Check Your Head, consult your local library. Or just grab the band’s full-album audio commentary here.
