My favourite band is the Beastie Boys - they were a hip hop group formed in 1981
Yes I loved the beastie boys in the 90's especially check yo head great album
My favourite member of the group was Adam Horovitz. Who was yours?
Wasn't he Ad-Rock?
Yes, he was. He replaced John Berry from the original band - the Young Aborigines. 
yeah I would agree he is probably my favorite as well
I also really liked Mike D - who played drums.
its crazy to think that they started off as a punk band I consider them more rap now of course
Yes, definitely. It wasn't until 1983 that they changed to Hip Hop. Interesting that their drummer dropped out after they changed to hip hop.
I think one of the members just passed away not too long ago didn't they?
