Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

Hell yeah this is one of the great party albums ever!




The B-boys have created just a totally fun jam with this one.  Remember back in the 1980s rap music was mostly a dance/ party type genre.  Sure there was N.W.A. and 2 Live Crew, but they were at that time oddities.  There was none of this violence-prone anti-White stuff that has permeated this degenerating Nation.




Sure listening to this album is an exercise in nostalgia, but at this point in time during the Obama-nation, is that really such a bad thing?  Back in the '80s I had so much fun with friends, playing on our Commodore 64s, listening to 'Girls' in the background.  It is still a fun song to this day!



Can't decide what the best song is on this album though.  It is just all killer, no filler (well maybe except for 'Rhymin' and Stealin', but even that is a good song, just not a great song.  Would have been great if it had been replaced with 'She's On It' though)


The big question I have about this album though... When is there going to be a remastered version with some bonus tracks or live tracks?!?!?  Remastering albums seems to be a big thing now-a-days and I would kill to here some out-takes from this album.  (How about a nice version of 'Scenario'??)  Heck Scenario could probably be remastered and turned into one of the better tracks on this album based on what I have heard before!
