THIS HOT SAUCE IS SO SWEET & SO SPICY! WELCOME BACK!

The Beastie Boys are back. Not just in the sense that it's been seven years since we've heard a proper album from them (2007's The Mix-Up was all instrumental), but on Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, they're back back. While '04's by-the-numbers hip-hop disc, To The 5 Boroughs, was a solid effort, Hot Sauce has the Boys (well, men) playing with their instruments again. It sounds fuzzy, the songs are kinda rough, and there doesn't seem to be any ambition to make a hit—their focus seems to be simply aimed at having fun. It's as if the Beasties are revisiting their Check Your Head and Ill Communication days, minus the massive singles. Don't get the wrong idea, though: It's not just some washed-up old dudes trying to recreate their finer moments. The Boys sound rejuvenated, especially on the terrific "Too Many Rappers," which features Nas—it's impressive how fresh their verses sound considering how long everyone involved has been in the game. "Make Some Noise" is a grimey slice of funk that's topped with a sea of tripped-out rhymes—it'd be shocking if you don't groove to it. The song showcases their stellar musicianship too, which isn't always as noted as their vocal skills. The Beasties prove they've still got what it takes to rock the house—Hot Sauce was definitely worth the wait.

best white rapper group

These guys are frikin great, all the track have a different style, and you can find something new everytime you listen such as a joke or punch line. The beats are great and I love how they have so many layers and layers of sound. Very Impressed and I would Incourage everyone to buy the whole album

Absolutely terrible.

I had high hopes for this album - one, because I love the Beastie Boys, and two, because the first single they released on the album was great. Unfortunately, its really the only "single" quality song on there. There are maybe three songs on the album that sound like a song - the rest sounds like an old beastie boys track looped over...crap. I've listened to the album maybe 20 times through - while working out, while catching up on some work.. and I just cant get into it - and nobody else I've talked to could either.

Biography

Formed: 1979 in New York, NY

Genre: Hip Hop/Rap

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

As the first white rap group of any importance, the Beastie Boys received the scorn of critics and strident hip-hop musicians, both of whom accused them of cultural pirating, especially since they began as a hardcore punk group in 1981. But the Beasties weren't pirating — instead, they treated rap as part of a post-punk musical underground, where the D.I.Y. aesthetics of hip-hop and punk weren't that far apart. Of course, the exaggerated b-boy and frat-boy parodies of their unexpected hit debut...
