MCA, aveva 47 anni e dal 1981 era il "cuore pulsante" dei Beastie Boys.
30 anni di carriera insomma, dove Adam era passato dagli eccessi degli esordi, all'impegno sociale, alla scoperta del buddismo e alla passione per il cinema, con l'assoluta nonchalence dei grandi.
E' inutile dire che questa notizia era nell'aria, da quando il mondo musicale e non, sapeva del suo male, ma l'ultimo album prima rinviato e poi pubblicato nel 2011, faceva se non altro sperare.
Ci sembra ancor più banale in questo contesto celebrare la sua arte e quella della band "bianca" che ha scritto pagine memorabili nel mondo dell'hip hop, milioni di dischi venduti a parte... perchè il mondo sa chi era e sarà MCA e chi sono i Beastie Boys.

Well now don't you tell me to smile
You stick around I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile
Style profile I said
It always brings me back when I hear Ooh Child
From the Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon just up until the very last mile
Well if you battle me I will revile
People always say my style is wild
You've got gall you've got guile guile
To step to me I'm a rapophile
If you want to battle you're in denial
Coming from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile

Jazz and Awol that's our team
Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats well I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream
Well I gotta' keep it going keep it going full steam
Too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean
Well on the tough guy style I'm not too keen
To try to change the world I will plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean clean
Gonna' shine like a sunbeam beam
Keep on rappin' cause that's my dream dream
Got an A from Moe Dee for sticking to themes
Now when it comes to envy y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine tine
Another dimension new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary

Well from the family tree of old school hip-hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
The rhymes will spread just like a pox
'Cause the music is live like an electric shock
I am known to do the Wop wop
Also known for the Flintstone Flop flop
Tammy D getting biz on the crop crop
Beastie Boys known to let the beat drop
"Mmmh..drop" "Do it"
Now when I wrote graffiti my name was Slop
If my rap's soup my beats is stock
Step from the tables when I start to chop
I'm a lumber jack DJ Adrock
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock

"Do it"
