Beastie Boys

The loss of Beastie Boys member Adam 'MCA' Yauch is still being felt by many, and now Adam 'Adrock' Horovitz and the locals in Brooklyn, N.Y. are hoping to honor the rapper in a permanent way.

For Beastie Boys fans around the world, the loss of Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch has been an incredibly difficult thing to get over. A flood of tributes have surfaced over the last few weeks by famous musicians such as Cee Lo Green and Elton John, as well as covers by cute kids. Yet, the loss has hit the hardest for the remaining members of the Beastie Boys -- Ad-Rock and Mike D -- who recently addressed MCA'

Cee Lo Green joined forces with his rap group Goodie Mob to perform 'Fight to Win,' a new track from the newly reunited hip-hop icons at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. While onstage, Goodie Mob seized the moment and paid tribute to the Beastie Boys' Adam 'MCA' Yauch.

Music lost quite a few greats less than six months into 2012, and the Billboard Music Awards will recognize pop's fallen stars tonight. The show is slated to feature tributes to Donna Summer, the Beastie Boys' Adam 'MCA' Yauch and Whitney Houston.

There are hundreds of Beastie Boys tributes on the Internet, including our favorite 'Sabotage' clip by some adorable kids. But a cool video recently surfaced of a rare unaired performance from the trio.

The New York State Senate passed a resolution this week to honor the work of the Beastie Boys' Adam 'MCA' Yauch, who died earlier this month from cancer of the parotid gland.

The resolution was accepted by the legislative body on Tuesday, May 15,  just days before "MCA Day" takes over

Think you’ve seen all of the Beastie Boys tribute videos so far? Think again. One such tribute featuring kids reenacting the music video for 'Sabotage' is popping up all over the web. The great thing about the video is that it’s actually hilarious, not to mention incredibly well done.

On May 3, the day before Beastie Boys member Adam “MCA” Yauch succumbed to cancer, the rap group was slapped with a copyright-infringement lawsuit from Tuf America, a publishing company representing Washington, D.C. go-go legends Trouble Funk. Now we have more insight as to why.

Elton John dedicated a song to the late Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys at a recent Las Vegas show, where the legendary hitmaker told the audience about the time he discovered the trailblazing hip-hop trio.

This is very poor timing. The Beastie Boys were slapped with a copyright-infringement lawsuit just one day before group member Adam 'MCA' Yauch passed away. According to AllHipHop.com, Tuf America filed the lawsuit on May 3 claiming the group unlawfully sampled portions of Trouble Funk's songs on two of their classic albums.
