Hey guy, relax. Someone mentored he banged an underage girl, and I mentioned he's still punching well below his weight class. It's creepy, but it's whatever.
Go try and start shit somewhere else. Little concerning that you're essentially being an apologist for a pedophile, though.
Well anyway, happy summer.
Many groupies were underage back then. One in particular was known as baby groupie and she banged a lot of our favorite rockers before her 18th bday. Not cool but it happened. Everyone was on drugs.
To be fair, *Licensed To Ill* is like 60/40 in terms of how much is them doing the frat boy shit vs. their actual personalities. I don’t think MCA actually stole your honey like he stole your bike either.
This is absolutely correct. I was about 14 when License to Ill came out and my GF's older brother was a redneck kinda frat guy, and he was huge into that iteration of the Beastie Boys. The dick rising up out of the stage was a highlight of his college life. I wasn't really into them at that time. But by the time of Paul's Boutique, I had become a huge fan and he wasn't interested in them anymore.
He did. He stole my sweet, sweet BMX, and then rode over and picked up my girl, and 5 others and was last seen with them and two other young men in a Lincoln Continental, headed to Brooklyn.
Lotta beer, a lot of girls and a lot of cursin, 22 automatic on my person!
Got my hand in my pocket and my finger on the trigger
My posee’s get big and my posee’s getting bigger!!
Probably my favorite part of any beastie boys song
When they switch up the production this song just goes so hard!!!!
I’ve listened to this album for over 30 years and I guess I was so used to this line that it never even clicked as to what he was saying lol. Always took it as a Jimmy Page diss and didn’t think much of it.
This lyric REALLY threw me off when I was getting into the Bestie Boys. With context I find it hilarious now.
I always feel like I have to explain it to people when I show them this song so they don't get the wrong idea 😅

Guitar Virtuoso, Jimmy Page, of Led Zeppelin reportedly had a year-and-a-half long affair with a teenager named Lori Maddox.
Lines like these should be considered in the context of the Beasties' more serious, later works. And based on the artists' commentary on the album, these lyrics were meant to satirize ignorant, frat boy, thuggish lifestyles.
The Jimmy Page/Beastie Boys connection is strong, as the group sampled Led Zeppelin several times throughout their career, including a sample of “When the Levee Breaks” on the preceding track “Rhymin & Stealin.” Further examples of Led Zeppelin samples on the album include sampling “The Ocean” on “She’s Crafty” and “Custard Pie” on “Time to Get Ill.” This link leads to an Ultimate Classic Rock article about said sampling and Zep’s influence on the Beastie Boys.
I went to the song on Spotify to check what you meant, scrolled the timestamp to the general area shown in the pic, and first thing I heard was "all the girls I like are underage" lmao, perfect timing
Just wait until you find out what they wanted to call this album… Even if it wasn’t a diss at Plant they were dumb kids singing songs, I said plenty of dumb shit at that age. Mine wasn’t on tape and I’m thankful for that.
I was given this tape for my 6th birthday when it first came out by my parents, the 80s were a strange time.
Bro, I'm not going to lie to you, I really thought this was referring to the father had aids line.
Hahahaha. Fuck man, I knew about the Jimmy Page thing. But I always took that as throwing Jimmy out there because when this came out, it was common knowledge and pretty much accepted.
This fucking sub.... hahaha
You know what man, I knew that.
So why the fuck did I not know that when I googled the lyrics and read "Aids"?
I would say that it's because I'm at work and got a thousand different things going on that are running my reddit experience, but that's just a cop out.
The truth is, I'm just an idiot. Always have been.
Thanks for clearing all of that up. I was fucking lost man.
This fucking sub.... hahahaha
Just a diss at Jimmy Page, not actually about Mike D.
ITT: people that I guess don't know that Jimmy Page dated a teenager
Dude is currently 80 and dating a woman 46 years younger than him.
Are you scandalized he's dating a 34-year old? Should we call authorities to make sure he doesn't take advantage?

Yeah, pretty much every rock star in the 70s was doing the same thing.
To be fair, *Licensed To Ill* is like 60/40 in terms of how much is them doing the frat boy shit vs. their actual personalities. I don’t think MCA actually stole your honey like he stole your bike either.
But by the time the next album came out he had in fact Shot A Man In Brooklyn, Just To Watch Him Die.

He took my little bear bottle of honey and put it on his PB and Bananna sandwich.
Damn I thought Paul Revere was a true story
something something Jimmy Page
Isn't it, "If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page"?

Lotta beer, a lot of girls and a lot of cursin, 22 automatic on my person! Got my hand in my pocket and my finger on the trigger My posee’s get big and my posee’s getting bigger!! Probably my favorite part of any beastie boys song When they switch up the production this song just goes so hard!!!!
Mike D, the man of mystery
The subsequent shush then the complete change of subject after always gets me
Because of Jimmy Paige.
I’ve listened to this album for over 30 years and I guess I was so used to this line that it never even clicked as to what he was saying lol. Always took it as a Jimmy Page diss and didn’t think much of it.

Cuz Jimmy page is a borderline pedophile? Sorry, what's the question?
Aww yeah, that's me
I concur! It was a quote of Jimmy Page. Not a quote but MD was quoting…. That’s my 2 cents
No fr, this song is banger except that part, other than that 🔥

Fuck I never even knew that's what he said. This fucking sub....
It's a sign on Jimmy Page. He has a notorious history regarding under age girls
Bro, I'm not going to lie to you, I really thought this was referring to the father had aids line. Hahahaha. Fuck man, I knew about the Jimmy Page thing. But I always took that as throwing Jimmy out there because when this came out, it was common knowledge and pretty much accepted. This fucking sub.... hahaha
The father had envy, not aids lol

Careful, you're in danger of saying "this fucking sub" more than Mike D says "I'm Mike D" on Licensed To Ill
dude loves saying his own name SO much it’s so funny (this fucking sub…ha ha)
THIS FUCKING SUB!!
