The Beastie Boys released their second album ‘Paul’s Boutique’, produced by legendary hip-hop gurus The Dust Brothers in 1989. Noted for being created almost entirely with samples (something out of the ordinary for the time), the album was a commercial flop on release, with label Capital Records actually going so far as to stop promoting the album halfway through it’s original run. Since then it has gone on to be a huge fan favourite and an album we get requested to feature on a regular basis. Journalist Robert Christgau commended them for “bearing down on the cleverest rhymes in the biz” and commented that “the Beasties concentrate on tall tales rather than boasting or dissing.” Read more about the album here.
