This is an awesome song for so many reasons and I don't really listen to the Beastie Boys. It's basically one single chord the whole song, yet it's catchy as hell. They pull it off by having these little break downs now and again. The bass riff is simply one of the sickest ever. The mechanical sounding guitar breakdown, very creative since it barely sounds like a guitar (especially on the record). The rhythm is really pumped and unique for it's time (predates other badass songs like Club Foot or Hysteria by 10-15 years). The vocal style is also unique. I mean, a really really high pitched rap that almost sounds like some 80's high pitched rock song? Not to mention the lyrics themselves are very catchy. The use of scratching in a bass/guitar based song. Also features one of the greatest screams in a song ever.
Basically everything about this song is awesome.
All I could think of was Marty McFly playing Johnny B. Good through the whole thing. Song ends to a deathly silence
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet....but your kids are going to love it."
Their "Ch-Check It Out" performance on Letterman was great as well.
RIP MCA

That was tight. Even better was the music video!
Does anybody else annoy their SO by dancing around and singing "So what cha want" whenever you go grocery shopping????
I always thought this song sounds like it could have been done by RATM.
That was.... That was insanely good. Probably the best tv preformance I've ever seen. It's amazing it's taken me this long to see this.
Way ahead of their time
