"Adam Yauch... Another Dimension"

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.

"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic" 

"Another Dimension Another Dimension" 

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 

"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic" 

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 

"Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic" 

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
