Beastie Boys - Licensed To Ill
It was awesome. I heard 'Slow and Low' way before I had ever seen them - before they had images to them; before I knew they were white guys. It didn’t matter, because they had an in depth understanding and a true genuine love for hip-hop. It was apparent. I had a friend Mark, who had a Hyundai car. His system was so good in that car, and that's all he used to play. When I found out they were white, I loved it even more, because it turned me onto different types of music, like the Led Zeppelin sample on 'Rhyming & Stealin'.
