An album ahead of it's time? Paul's Boutique

This morning I was thinking about this when I had no idea MCA was on his deathbed.
I was walking through the gym today and I heard Shake your Rump.
That album was greatness and way ahead of it's time. I heard a "Hey Ladies" mashup this past weekend and it was awesome.

Have always loved Paul's Boutique, so many good tracks on that one.

Why is there a question mark in the title? Paul's Boutique is without a doubt ahead of its time. Why? It's STYLE.
The slick production of the beats found throughout the album highlight the sampling skills of the Dust Brothers while the Beastie Boys themselves improved their rapping. The album reeked of coolness.

The most forward thinking album I have ever heard was The Wall by Floyd
If that album came out today, it'd still be a hit.

Shake Your Rump and Eggman were the songs that hooked me in when I first bought the album in 1989. For a good while, I was the only one out of all my friends that loved it. Most people were expecting License to Ill Pt 2 and were disappointed.

Pretty sure it was the first time that samples were used. Changed the rap landscape forever.

huh? that album is more like the reason samples aren't used anymore
shite, the beastie boys used a whole buncha samples on license to ill, "rhymin and stealin" is pretty much just the drum track from "when the levee breaks" by led zep and "sweet leaf" by black sabbath
paul's boutique pretty much shut the door on using samples in rap without paying for them, or at least slipped through just before it closed. there's a list someplace of all the samples used, and the number is in the hundreds.
an album like that today couldn't be made and distributed. it'd be too expensive to pay for all the samples to ever make any money

I wouldnt say it was ahead of its time, but it definitely is a landmark album.
They paid for them, they just didnt pay a lot for them. That case against Biz Markie, made sure that an album like this could never be made again.

I don't know man. Just remember watching a show about greatest rap albums or greatest rappers or something along those lines and they talked about how influential pb was.

The sampling on Paul's Boutique is insane. They sampled PSYCHO for godsakes. They just layered sample on top of sample. And yes, they expected t get sued.
Sounds of Science is perhaps the most audacious song. They sampled the Beatles ("The End") and the last line attempts to rhyme the word "orange". "Dropping science like when Galileo dropped his orange" is just such a great final line to a song, maybe the best ever.
Great, great album. Though my favorite song is Johnny Ryall. We listened to that nonstop yesterday.

I'll agree with this. Every rap artist was sampling but this one took it to another level. But I'd credit the Dust Brothers just as much as Beasties.

PB is my favorite beastie record, Eggman, favorite song. I wanted to post that song for friends cause it's MCA heavy but I couldn't find a link except for the whole record. Found that odd.

The last track, "B-Boy Bouillabaisse," is on par with the second side of The Beatles' Abbey Road as an engaging suite of short, mostly incomplete songs that miraculously segue into each other to make a masterpiece. Pocket, HIP HOP symphony.
