Review

Crikey, 'Licensed To Ill' by the Beastie Boys is a ripper of an album that'll make ya wanna jump around like a kangaroo on a sugar high! This bad boy dropped in '86 and it's still kickin' goals today. It's a wild fusion of hip-hop and rock that'll knock your socks off, mate!

Rick Rubin, the mad genius behind the mixing desk, whipped up a storm with the Beastie Boys, sampling legends like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. And get this - they even got Kerry King from Slayer to shred on 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn'! Talk about a collab for the ages!

This album wasn't just big, it was bloody massive! First rap album to top the Billboard 200 and it's gone Diamond in the States. Tracks like 'Fight for Your Right' and 'Paul Revere' are absolute belters that'll have you bopping your head and spitting rhymes in no time. Sure, some bits haven't aged like a fine wine, but the Beastie Boys have owned up to that. At its core, 'Licensed To Ill' is still a rollicking good time that changed the game for hip-hop. Bonza effort, lads! - Hunter
