Adam Yauch, aka MCA of the Beastie Boys has died at the age of 47 after a long battle with cancer, website GlobalGrind reported Friday.
The news could not be independently confirmed.
Yauch was diagnosed and treated for a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node in 2009.
The Beastie Boys were one of the first rock bands to embrace rap, successfully crossing over with the multi-platinum 'Licensed to Ill' in 1986.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just last month. Yauch did not attend.
Story developing...

I saw this on MSNBC, too. If you like that sort of
noise music (remember, you can't spell "crap" without "rap"), it's not a good day.
-
damn, they really had some of the only rap I like
That's really sad
-
They were one of the pioneers of Rap. Their type I didn't mind so much. It is the gansta rap that I have an issue with. Rip.
I knew he had cancer. But I didn't know it was that bad.
-
I actually like the Bestie Boys music. :(
-
Oh no -- I love their music! He was only a year younger than me. :(
-
Fox made a mistake. He was 48, not 47.

Oh no you didn't....
You cannot diss the Beastie Boys, BSS!
I pretty much grew up on the Beastie Boys.

Who the hell are the Beastie Boys? :yawn:
I'll stay blissfully ignorant, thanks.

Smoker?
There's a type of salivary gland tumor you get from smoking, the particular type of tumor associated with smoking is 100% benign, he had a different type of salivary gland tumor and it's not smoking related.

The Beastie Boys brought back Aerosmith. For that they should get props.

When I heard that he died I thought that it was drug related, just because of the business that he was in.

I liked the Licensed To Ill album. The rest, not so much.

I don't think the Beastie Boys were ever into that kind of stuff like today's "artist" are. But I like to be naive about that because they were my favorite rap/rock group growing up.

Well, that explains things. :tongue: ;) :-* :fuelfire:
I dind't mind their stuff. But, the phrase (can't spell "crap") still holds.
-
I was a big fan of them in the 1980s. I even still have my Licensed to Ill cassette tape all worn out in a box of memorabilia. They lost me in the early 2000s though as they released a record just overloaded with liberal rah rah crap. I like music so much better when it seeks to entertain you rather than rant at you about politics especially if its coming from a leftist direction. That said, RIP to one of the Beasties.

Damn, bummer....

Who the hell are the Beastie Boys? :yawn:
A group of nice Jewish boys from NYC that decided they wanted to be black rappers.
I personally couldn't stand their "music" but I hate that one of them got taken down at such a young age from cancer.
