Bio
Beastie Boys est un groupe de hip-hop américain, originaire des quartiers de Manhattan et de Brooklyn, à New York. Pendant la majeure partie de son existence, le groupe se compose de Michael « Mike D » Diamond, Adam « MCA » Yauch et Adam « Ad-Rock » Horovitz. Plusieurs autres musiciens et disc jockeys, tels que Michael « Mix Master Mike » Schwartz, jouent également au sein du groupe, certains d'entre eux pendant une durée importante, tels DJ Hurricane ou Eric Bobo.
Le groupe Beastie Boys commence initialement sa carrière dans le punk hardcore, en 1979, en participant à la compilation New York Thrash. À cette période, son style musical s'identifie à celui de groupes comme Minor Threat ou Bad Brains. Il s'essaye ensuite au hip-hop avec la sortie de son maxi single Cooky Puss, suivi d'une série de singles à succès, puis de son premier album studio intitulé Licensed to Ill, publié en 1986, qui suscite l'engouement de la presse spécialisée internationale, qui rencontre un très grand succès commercial et qui classe à la première place des albums de hip-hop aux États-Unis.
Le groupe est l'un des pionniers les plus célèbres de la scène hip-hop à s'investir dans de nombreuses tournées musicales internationales. Le 27 septembre 2007, le groupe est nommé pour faire son entrée au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. En 2009, le groupe publie sur internet des éditions remastérisées de Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication et Hello Nasty. Son huitième album, intitulé Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, est publié le 3 mai 2011 et est très bien accueilli par la presse spécialisée. En 2010, le groupe compte plus de 22 millions d'albums vendus aux États-Unis et 40 millions dans le monde.

The Beastie Boys were an American hip-hop and rock group formed in New York City in 1981. Their main line-up consisted of Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (vocals, guitar), Adam "MCA" Yauch (vocals, bass), and Michael "Mike D" Diamond (vocals, drums).
The Beastie Boys were previously members of the hardcore punk band the Young Aborigines, with Diamond on drums, Jeremy Shatan on bass guitar, and John Berry on guitar. Kate Schellenbach later joined on drums. When Shatan left in mid-1981, Yauch replaced him on bass and the band was renamed the Beastie Boys. Berry left shortly thereafter and was replaced by Horovitz, the guitarist of The Young and the Useless. After achieving local success with the 1983 comedy hip-hop single "Cooky Puss", the Beastie Boys made a full transition to hip-hop and Schellenbach subsequently left, with the group's final lineup consisting of Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch. Yauch, a filmmaker, directed many of the Beastie Boys' music videos under the alias Nathanial Hörnblowér.
The Beastie Boys toured with Madonna in 1985, after she discovered them while frequenting Danceteria. In 1986, they released their debut album, Licensed to Ill. It was the first rap album to top the Billboard 200 chart and was influenced by their beginnings in rock. Their second album, Paul's Boutique (1989), was made with the Dust Brothers and consisted almost entirely of samples. It was a commercial failure but received critical and cult acclaim. Check Your Head (1992) and Ill Communication (1994) found mainstream success, followed by Hello Nasty (1998), To the 5 Boroughs (2004), the entirely instrumental album The Mix-Up (2007), and Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (2011), their final album.
Their last live performance was at the 2009 Bonnaroo Music Festival, before they stopped due to Yauch's diagnosis of parotid cancer. In 2012, the Beastie Boys became the third rap group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Later that year, Yauch died and the Beastie Boys disbanded. Retrospective works include the Beastie Boys Book, a documentary and several compilation albums.
