no, what it has to do with is the lyrical ability level of the entire game of the time when they became famous and from there, it was their college frat party appeal that kept them going. remember, the best emcees back then were Rev Run, Kurtis Blow, Kool Moe Dee and Melle Mel. it wasn't like anyone was anywhere near lyrical then. it was about breaks and block parties then.

lol who?

lol were you meaning to say that to a friend or something?

i was joking man

some one like flavor flav would fit dat category

I like beastie boys only becaue of the memories that their music brings but yes they were always corny even back then most thought they were corny but we liked them.
