FUSE TV - Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch: Greatest Hits

It's with great, great sadness that we report that Adam Yauch, the Brooklyn-bred co-founder of the Beastie Boys, passed away today in New York City after a three-year-long battle with cancer. He was 47.

The first thing I did when I heard of his death was hit YouTube. As a life-long Beasties fan I wanted to see Yauch in action, in his element—the tall, cool downtown dude with the gravelly voice, spitting rhymes and dropping lines on the bass. So, here's a collection of the videos I watched to celebrate his life. It's a reminder of how unbelievably talented and prolific Yauch was. There's the Boys' wildly underrated (and my personal fave) instrumental album The In Sound from Way Out; the trailer for his first feature film, Gunnin' For That #1 Spot; the recent remake of the trio's classic "Fight For You Right" video with Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood and Danny McBride; there's even a video about Yauch's Tibetan Freedom benefit concerts. 

It's a sad, sad day. Beastie Boys, all day, all night. Don't stop.
