Beastie Boys Book

Product Information

The book is a beautiful tribute to the long-lasting friendship of the "boys" and their departed bandmate, Adam Yauch (MCA).

I didn't know why I liked those albums, and I didn't know most of what they were saying, or even what the words meant (you know that interlude bit on "B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak"? It is also a love letter to Adam Yauch, the group's driving force, who sadly died of cancer in 2012, which is when the group ended. But then the story got better because Ad-Rock goes on to say how he was scarred for life since every time he went over to their apartment he'd seem to catch Mike D in the bath. This is an absolute gem and insight into their lives and how they became the biggest hip hop group in the world.Faber Members get access to live and online author events and receive regular e-newsletters with book previews, promotional offers, articles and quizzes.
