As expected, the Beastie Boys are getting so much negativity and hate on the internet, because of their nomination for the, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mainly because people think they are a rap and hip hop band, they aren’t rock n’ roll. This is just enough proof that people know nothing about music when they think they do. Beastie Boys aren’t rock? Of course they are. They always have been rock. They may have added some rap/hip hop influence to their songs, but they are indeed rock n’ roll if you carefully listen to their music. Songs like “Fight For Your Right to Party”, “Sabatoge”, “Root Down”, “Sure Shot”, “So Whatcha Want”, etc. All those songs are rock songs. The Beastie Boys are pioneers for bringing rap and rock together.

Many people say that the Beastie Boys don’t deserve the Hall of Fame induction, but I think they do. They accomplished a lot in the music industry. People who think the Beastie Boys aren’t rock, are really delusional. I respect the Beastie Boys ’cause they are white men who aren’t afraid to show their love for rap and rock n’ roll. I can sit here and write all day on how the Beastie Boys are rock n’ roll, but to keep it short and simple, any rock n’ roll band could cover their songs easily and make ’em sound like rock songs.

The Beastie Boys are incredible. They have a pretty good chance in getting inducted too. The haters slamming the Beastie Boys are probably jealous. Listen to their songs in the videos below and tell me if they aren’t rock songs. If you say they aren’t, you must be deaf.
