Beastie Boys 1991-1996

By McCormick, Carlo & Miller, Paul R. & Marcopoulos, Ari

Publishers Summary:
The early 1990s, considered the golden age of hip hop, saw the release of the Beastie Boys’ ground-breaking albums Check Your Head and Ill Communication. From 1991 to 1996 photographer Ari Marcopoulos — whose work has been compared to that of the controversial Larry Clark — witnessed the legendary band firsthand. For five years he had fly-on-the-wall access to Mike D, MCA, and King AD Rock in the arenas and in the recording studio; in the fun and dopey moments in between; and in such diversions as playing hoops at G-son, the famed birthplace of Grand Royal. In these never-before-published photographs — as well as in rare video grabs — Marcopoulos’s masterful yet understated perspective taps into the punk/rock/rap/funk vibe that has made the Beastie Boys the longest-standing, most consistently evolving group in hip hop.
