Sobre el álbum

El rompedor LICENSED TO ILL es el álbum de debut que transformó a tres jóvenes de Nueva York en superestrellas mundiales y que fusionó el rock y el hip-hop de una manera nunca antes vista. Producido por el legendario Rick Rubin, este disco de 1986 es una explosión de energía adolescente, con bases de rap construidas sobre potentes riffs de guitarra de heavy metal y baterías contundentes. De este modo, el trío crea un sonido único y gamberro que conectó de manera masiva con la juventud de la época.

El álbum es una sucesión de himnos inmortales, desde el grito de guerra generacional "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)" hasta "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" o "Brass Monkey". El disco no solo fue el primer álbum de rap en alcanzar el número uno en las listas de Billboard, sino que también abrió las puertas del género a una audiencia completamente nueva. Es un punto de inflexión cultural y uno de los debuts más importantes de la historia.

    Letra

    And on the cool check in Center stage on the mic And we're puttin' it on wax It's the new style Four and three and two and one (What up!) And when I'm on the mic the suckers run Down with Adrock and Mike D. and you ain't And I got more juice than Picasso got paint Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick I'm not surprised you're on my dick B-E-A-S-T-I-E (What up Mike D?) Ah yeah, that's me I got franks and pork and beans Always bust the new routines I get it, I got it, I know it's good The rhymes I write, you wish you would I'm never in training My voice is not straining People always biting and I'm sick of complaining So I went into the locker room during classes Went into your locker and I smashed your glasses You're from Secaucus, I'm from Manhattan You're jealous of me because your girlfriend is cattin' (There it is) Kick it! Father to many, married to none And in case you're unaware I carry a gun Stepped into the party The place was overpacked Saw the kid that dissed my home and shot him in the back Man, I had to get a beeper cause my phone is tapped You better keep your mouth shut cause I'm fully strapped I got money in the bank, I can still get high That's why your girlfriend thinks that I'm so fly I've got money and juice, twin sisters in my bed Their father had envy so I shot him in the head If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page The girlies I like are underage Girls with boyfriends are the kind I like I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike My father, he's jealous cause I'm making that green I've got a list of girlies' numbers from the places I been (There it is) Kick it! You wanna know why? Because I'm… October 31st that is my date of birth I got to the party, you know what I did, the Smurf Taxing all females from coast to coast And when I get my fill, I'm chilly most We ragtag girlies back at the hotel And then we all switch places when I ring the bell I chill at White Castle cause it's the best But I'm fly at Fatburger when I'm way out west K-I-N-G-A-D whammy All the fly ladies, they're on my jammy Went to the prom, wore the fly blue rental Got six girlies in my Lincoln Continental I met a girl at the party and she started to flirt I told her some rhymes and she pulled up her skirt (check it) Spent some bank, got a high powered jumbo Rolled up a wooly and I watched Columbo Let me clear my throat Kick it over here baby pop And let all the fly skimmies feel the beat Mmm...drop Coolin' on the corner on a hot summer day Just me and my posse and MCA A lot of beer, a lot of girls and a lot of cursing Twenty-two automatic on my person Got my hand in my pocket and my finger's on the trigger My posse's gettin' big and my posse's gettin' bigger Some voices got treble Some voices got bass We got the kind of voices that are in your face Like the bun to the burger, like the burger to the bun Like the cherry to the apple, to the peach, to the plum I'm the king of the Ave. And I'm the king of the block Well, I'm MCA And I'm the King Adrock Well, I'm Mike D, I got all the fly juice On the checkin' at the party on the Forty Deuce Walking down the block with the fresh fly threads Beastie Boys fly the biggest heads

    Letra

    GIRLS!!! All I really want is girls And in the morning it's girls Cause in the evening it's girls I like the way that they walk And it's a chill to hear them talk And I can always make them smile From White Castle to the Nile Back in the day There was this girl who ran away She liked my home-piece M.C.A. He said he would not give her play I asked him, "Please?" - he said, "You may." Her pants were tight and that's ok If she would dance - I would D.J. We took a walk down to the bay I hope she'll say, "Hey me and you should hit the hay!" I asked her out - she said, "No way!" I should have probably guessed they're gay So I broke north with no delay I heard she moved real far away That was two years ago this May I saw her just the other day Jockin' Mike D. to my dismay Girls - to do the dishes Girls - to clean up my room Girls - to do the laundry Girls - and in the bathroom Girls - that's all I really want is girls Two at a time - I want girls With new wave hairdos - I want girls I ought to whip out my - girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!

  8. No Sleep Till Brooklyn4:06
  9. Paul Revere3:40

    Letra

    Here's a little story I gots to tell, about three bad brothers you know so well. It started way back in history with Adrock, MCA and me, Mike D. I been had a little horsey named Paul Revere. Just me and my horsey and a quart of beer. Ridin' cross the land, kickin' up sand. Sheriff Posse is on my tail cuz I'm in demand. One lonely Beastie I be, all by myself without nobody. The sun is beatin' down on my baseball hat. The air is gettin' hot, the beer is gettin' flat. Lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy. His name is MCA, I said "howdy", he said "hi." He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed. Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst. The brew was in my hand, and he was on my tip. His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, he asked me for asip. He said "Can I get some?" I said "You can't get none." I had a chance to run, but he pulled out his shotgun. Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead. He put the gun to my head and this is what he said: "My name is MCA, I got a license to kill. I think you know what time it is, it's time to get ill. So what do we have here? And outlaw and his beer. I run this land, you understand, I've made myself clear." We stepped into the wind, he had a gun, I had a grin. As if this story's over, but it's ready to begin. "I've got the gun, you've got the brew. You've got two choices of what you can do. It's not a tough descision as you can see. I can blow you away or you can ride with me." I said, "I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border. The Sheriff is after me for what I did to his daughter. I did it like this, I did it like that. I did it with the whiffle ball bat. So I'm on the run, the cop's got my gun. Right about now it's time to have some fun. The King Adrock, that is my name, and I know the fly spot where they got the champagne." We rode for six hours then we hit the spot. The beat was-a-bumpin' and the girlies was hot. This dude was starin' like he knows who we are, so we took the empty spot next to him at the bar. MCA said "Yo, you know this kid?" I said I didn't but I know he did. The kid said, "Get ready, cuz this ain't funny. My name is Mike D and I'm about to get money." He pulled out the jammey, aimed it at the sky. He yelled, "Stick 'em up!" And let two fly. Hands went up and people hit the floor. He wasted two kids that ran for the door. "I'm Mike D and I get respect. Your cash and your jewelery is what I expect." MCA what with it, and he's my ace, so I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face. The piano player's out, the music stopped. This boy had beef, and he got dropped. Mike D grabbed the money, MCA snatched the gold. I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.
