You said it yourself, the Beastie Boys came out first, so how the Fuk they clones!!! It doesnt work that way. Instead the Beasties are the "First White Boys of Rap". They made many uh dope song, since the time when an M&M was nothing more than a fukkin candy. If Em will be honest, he'll have to admit he learned from them. They shocked folk well before he did. To me its dumb to diss them this way with this thread, it makes u look infantile and crude-lacking a good working knowledge of HipHop history. Those guys were one of the first acts signed by, the newly formed, Def Jam along wit LL Cool J. They raised hell and caused much controversy, rivaling em's today. ( Who else you seen wit a Giant Penis as a Stage Prop, not Em.) They should be Respected like all those who Helped to Make up Raps Foundation, even though They Aint Demanding it like LL( wit that "G.O.A.T." title.) I mean who you gone diss next Africa Bambataa?, Curtis Blow? Slick Rick? A Tribe Called Quest?Fuk!! So please, for your own sake Stop with This Fukkin Nonsense!! Em owes a great deal to the Beasties as well, they showed him how a whiteboy could break into rap, especially after that Vanilla Ice fiasco. See all Eminem did was copy the Beasties format of shockin the shit outta people wit outrageousness and usin humor( wit a little RedMan to boot.) Cuz trust, no one would uh bought one of his fukkin records otherwise. Folk would uh been like" Oh, here we go again-Vanilla Ice Part 2-another fakeass whiteboy tryna be hard". So he did just the opposite, having took ques from the Beastie Boys on how to do it. If u still feel the same way after this library I wrote, then I'll just have to classify u in my category of folk who have a total disrespect for, and a willfull ignorance concerning, HipHop's past. WITHOUT THE BEASTIES, RAKIM, REDMAN AND A FEW OTHERS THERE IS NO EMINEM( YOU CAN HEAR PIECES OF ALL OF THERE CADENCES AND OR SHOCK TACTICS IN EM'S WORK.)

PS "I STILL LIKE 'BRASS MONKEY AND PAUL REVERE'(Beasties), AND ALL THE SONGS ON TRIBE CALLED QUESTS 1ST JOINT..AND I GUESS JAY-Z DOES 2, HE SAMPLED UM AND SHIT("CAN I KICK IT..".) SEE THIS HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF 2 OF HIPHOPS BIGGEST PROBLEMS. IT'S MEMORY LOSS(EVRY 4yrs), AND IT'S GENERAL LACK OF RESPECT FOR IT'S PREVIOUS INCARNATIONS. IT'S A GOTTDAMN SHAME!!! and this is the kinna shit that made RICK JAMES GO OFF AT THE BET AWARDS. SO WAKE THE FUK UP, ALL OF U WHO ARE THIS WAY NOT JUST EYVON!!!!!! 1?
