    One of the best concerts i've ever been to was the Beastie Boys! One of the last bands to keep old school hip-hop alive. This is a shame and very sad.

    Sad news. I've never been the biggest rap fan, but The Beastie Boys were such a fun, talented group. I was really bummed when they had to back out of ACL 2009 - they were supposed to headline alongside DMB and Pearl Jam but were replaced by Kings of Leon because of Adam's cancer. I was really looking forward to seeing them. What a shame for his family and friends. 47 seems far too young to go.

    We knew he was sick right?
    But I thought at least, that he was getting better..or at least holding his own.
    RIP MCA
    it was a great ride

    I thought he was getting better, I guess he wanted to keep it private. Sad times :(
