Product Details

By the time Check Your Head dropped in 1992, the Beastie Boys had already reinvented themselves once with Paul's Boutique. Here they did it again, picking up actual instruments for the first time since their hardcore punk days and building something that sounded like a New York basement where every genre was welcome. Ad-Rock, MCA, and Mike D playing live together gave the record a looseness and physicality that no amount of sampling alone could have delivered.


Licensed to Ill belonged to the frat boys Paul's Boutique belonged to the hip-hop underground Check Your Head belonged to everyone. Lovers of punk, metal, rap, funk, soul and jazz found something to savor on this 1992 landmark; here are So What 'Cha Want; Funky Boss; Finger Lickin' Good; Jimmy James; Pass the Mic , and the rest.
