The Beastie Boys-a rap group that would be considered retro today, has recently released their eighth studio-album: “Hot Sauce Committee Part Two”. The three rappers are now in their forties, and often refer to themselves as "grandpas of rap". In the new album, the group keeps to their old ways of boasting and name dropping. They mention New York locations, and foods throughout the album. They are in competition with "Sucker Rappers" with the ever-changing vocabulary and targeting young kids. Unlike their old albums which featured samples, the boy's new album features all their own backup. They feature vintage sounding Reggae (featuring Santigold). and Noisy-rock. The Beasties boys have always been outsiders in the hip-hop communtiy (White, jewish rappers), however, they were always popular and remain happy on the outside.
