    Ad Roc plays it live.

    And that's what makes some of these comments amusing.

    The Beastie Boys were actual musicians as opposed to some off the street ass clowns and their cheap producers.

    Many of their tracks were instrumentals. Listen to Sabotage; wicked backing.
    Flavor Flav can play more instruments himself than all the Beastie Boys combined, who cares.

    Will check out.
    But as to many bands, even mega super well known bands....they didn't always come up with their own chit.

    Hired Gun.

    Piped in guitars has also happened, it's not just lip sync that music biz uses.

    *Not saying Beastie Mike did not write or play his own studio and live.
    Beastie Boys used outside musicians; but they were solid musicians in their own right.
    They play instruments all throughout their concerts.

    Watched this interview a few years back. it's good. Ad Rock was very into serious music from the start despite the somewhat gimmicky nature of their music at times.

    "I always find it strange that musicians don't make their own music."

    MCA and Mike D to a lesser degree had talent.
    Dunno where they are on the a-hole charts.
    But I don't think it's prudent to judge them through a 2021 filter.

    Haven't seen the doc. Is that the one on Apple?
    Regardless of rap talent, from what I understand, MCA was the one who thought they should play their own instruments. He's also pretty funky on bass. I don't think we get Paul's Boutique or Check Yo' Head without him.
    And certainly not Sabotage. Yeah...it's on Apple.
