AD Rock of the Beastie Boys Reveals Why He Doesn't Listen to New Music | Sway's Universe

Adrock should have his own podcast. I'd listen to him just talk about bullshit for hours.

Adam is the most real person ever, not trying to pander to young people. The Beastie Boys made their mark and they will never be replicated.

If you are around Ad Rock's age you understand everything he is saying. The 80's/90's were a different time. Incredible times!

“I find it strange musicians don’t make their own music”. Don’t we all.

I love what a non-sellout Ad-Rock is. So rare in the rap industry.

Man, AdRock. 50 years old , $75mill net worth, and he's still ordering Chinese take-out and eating spaghetti and meatball sandwiches. What a player.

“When did you stop recording music as the Beastie Boys?” “About 2011-2012” Damn. R.I.P. Adam Yauch aka MCA

Really inspiring to see someone handle middle age so smoothly and confidently....this guy knows who he is..who he was..what he created and is completely comfortable in his skin...doesn't need to be insecure like most entertainers boasting of how influential the Beastie Boys were or the classic..."There would be no __ without the Beastie Boys".....he just is cool...the people who really did shit don't have to brag about it....even letting the grey hair out..guy has such a youthful face he could still be playing the youth game but doesn't need to....inspiring to anyone getting older....this is how its done.

AD Rock is real as hell. I could listen to him talk about this for hours.And... that argyle sweater is dope.

ad rock is so chill it is unreal

They weren’t trying to be hip hop. They are Hip Hop. Because it was all new and evolving, there were no rules. They became, and helped build hip hop into what it is.

Dude still looks youthful, hes the king ad rock that is his name and he knows the fly spot where they got the champagne!

He's such an effortlessly cool guy. He's not putting on a gangsta front or trying to be hard.

Im 46 and still jamming Beastie Boys in 2019. I was lucky enough to see them in concert in Boulder Colorado 1992.

You’re not an artist if you don’t do it yourself. You’re a performer. Artists are creative, performers do what they’re told.

Old white man with more swag than any rapper today

"apps..? what am I 12..?" classic...

"what am i gonna do, like, listen to new songs!? o.O" i feel you brother

Kids are rediscovering the beasties like crazy right now. And I’m here for it.

Coolest dude on the planet. Youngsters take notes ! I feel what he’s saying because I’m 34 and it seems like it starts to happen close to 30. The feeling where you aren’t feeling the new music anymore your stuck loving the music from your high school and after school years. It’s crazy. You start to utter “songs from back in my day” are better. My parents were lucky enough to listen to them in high school I can only imagine how amazing that was.
