VINTAGE (UNRELEASED) BEASTIE BOYS

The Beastie Boys are a band that is hard to say they're one thing or another. They're one of the few bands who combined rock and rap with respectable results. It didn't hurt that they got better as a band the longer they recorded.

It's a pretty safe bet that this one didn't get released because of the Beatles sample, however minimal it may be, which is unfortunate because I think it's a pretty catchy tune even if I wouldn't rank it as one of their top 20 songs. “I'm Down” makes me wanna go buy some Filas and '80s sunglasses and reminisce back to when MTV was actually worth a shit.
