When you're white and not too poor, it's hard to find a place in the nascent rap community at the dawn of the 80s. Yet Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Adam " MCA "Yauch and Adam" Ad-Rock " Horovitz not only succeeded in this feat, but were also quickly absorbed by this selective and on-the-go raposphere to unmask opportunistic impostors. The strength of the Beastie Boys was first to offer a very very personal reading of the rap idiom that he knows on the tip of their nails (in mourning). Punks at heart and as much passionate about hardcore as hip hop, the New York trio founded in 1981 first had the chance to settle at the top of the charts with a joyful single carried by an equally insane music video (we are in 1986 and MTV, then in full swing, makes the rain and the good weather via the videos that it broadcasts 24 hours a day) and that will become an anthem for many: (you Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!). Signed by the label Def Jam which already houses Public Enemy and L. L. Cool J, The Beastie play the bad boys, release dirty but still fair rhymes and impose their attitude of nickel-plated feet rap. Their debut album, License To Ill, produced by Rick Rubin, was a success around the world.
