    1992 was a incredible year!! Grunge music, cypress hill, house of pain, Dr. Dre, Rage Against The Machine and Beastie Boys with Check your head album!! the best year of the music in the last 40 years. RIP MCA. Brazil loves you. BEASTIE BOYS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

    in just this 20 minute video you see the beastie boys rap, play jazz and punk, something not many bands will or can pull off

    This is when MTV was MTV. The channel blew up in the 80's and really peak in the 90's. Then after 2002, things went downhill from there. This performance bring back so much memories, the 90's was great time to be alive. Man I missed those days.

  • @bradf.9365
    crazy to think about a band going from rappers to funk to punk/grunge in one show.
  • @BickleBungle1991
    You gotta love how Adrock was always screaming like a true punk rocker, ha ha. Damn, it would have been awesome to be there. :(
  • @RS-zj6ix
    The energy that Adrock was bringing on this one was insane!

    The planets were aligned in the 90s. The only time in history where rock, hip-hop and RnB and country etc all generated amazing music. The amount of music that came from all those categories was just pure brilliance all around. 😉🍷

    Hahaha. The presenters walk on after they finish Gratitude thinking they’re done, and start speaking while Mike D jumps from behind the drums and they launch into Time For Living. Crowd goes wild. Classic

    One of the best original NY hardcore bands that isn't actually thought of that way.
  • I don't think people credit AD-ROCK enough that dude has soo much power & hype one of the best mc's !
