3 Bad Brothers A Beastie Boys Breakdown- Hello Nasty with guest Open Mike Eagle

* Please note: This is an edited version of the episode, we have been forced to remove the interstitial music that is part of what makes the show unique. Extended episodes with more clips and music are available at patreon.com/dadbodrappod * In the pivotal fifth installment of our Beastie Boys miniseries, the Boys have moved back to New York and they are hopping around different studios demoing ideas that will eventually lead to their album Hello Nasty, a sprawling and eclectic work that fuses all of their previous modes into one sound that we call the "Beastie singularity." Rather than jamming and finding ideas in the edit, this time around they are fusing their record collections, old school hip-hop sensibility and guest vocalists into one well-produced mix which many BB fans and the band themselves hold as their best album. Joining DBRP hosts Demone Carter, David Ma and Nate LeBlanc to break this all down is iconic rap artist, podcaster, and hip-hop commentator Open Mike Eagle. One of hip-hop's most astute observers, Mike details his longstanding relationship with Hello Nasty in his inimitable smart, funny way. Be sure to pre-order his new album Neighborhood Gods Unlimited ahead of its release on July 11th. Big shouts to our main man Cutso for joining us on the mic for this album, he helps us understand the vital role that Mixmaster Mike played in re-energizing the Beastie Boys live experience right as their hair began to gray. All in all, this is a really fun episode about an album that we admire but have a few of our customary quibbles with, especially with its length and sequencing.
