Beastie Boys - 2 The 5 Boroughs

[Tim D]

Alright, whos copped the album and what do u think?

Im a huge Beastie fan, and i think they kept there style and everything from years back, i like the album a lot, and the beats are really old school like. What u guys feal?

 

[J Rilla]

Yo at first i thought this guys was way to old to still be flowin,but Ch-Check it out has really grown on me and ther album is gettin pretty decent reveiws so i mite cop it....anybody heard the Just Blaze remix to Ch-Check it out?

 

[FTdub]

It is good in light of current hip hop releases but its miles behind their classics. It is better than average, but not as good as hello nasty, largely because MMM didn't get as much freedom.

I've only heard it once, on some shitty headphones, but I like what I'm hearing, nice to hear those raw beats again, to many shiny beats out there.....
Lyrics wise it's a bit preachy, okay by me, but I prefer flow first, politics second...
ALso - just caught there live show on MTV2 tonight, MMM was real nice, he may not be on the album much, but he really is the anchor of their live set.

Yo. I was suppose to be at that show on MTV2, but mad sh*t went down... long story dont want to talk about it....but I'm goin to cop it and when i do, i'll drop my 2 cents in....

 

[Phonetik]

Mixed feelings. I hope it will grow on me.

 

[Boltz]

The new album is fresh. The beats are totally old school with a beastie twist and the 3 mc's do what they do best, goofy rhymes with style.
I do find it a bit preachy but at least they are cursing again and no buddhism.
I do wish it had a bit more of a "check your head" sound to it but...
I give it an 8.

I think beastie boys should have come wth some REAL different shit on this album... it was good but i thought hello nasty was better
