  Adam "MCA" Yauch loses his fight with cancer at age 47.  Adam was one of the three founding members of the Beastie Boys.   These guys are, among others, at  the pinnacle of hip-hop/rap in my opinion.

I am sure there are a few folks here on the BHO who have listened to and loved the Beastie Boys.

That's young, and very sad.  We're left on our own to "fight, for your right!"

I wasn't a huge fan, but I certainly was caught up into them back in the day. So many memories... 

He was so young. Scary thing that cancer.

The band left an indelible mark on popular culture.



Even if you don't agree with that, you can't deny that they made the best videos.

These last two are best watched together. The second is more like a short film.
