Beastie Boys are an American hip hop, rock, rap rock and jazz-funk band that was formed in 1979 and currently consists of Michael Diamond (a.k.a. Mike D - vocals, drums), Adam Yauch (a.k.a. MCA - vocals, bass guitar), Adam Horovitz (a.k.a. Ad-Rock - vocals, guitar) and Michael Schwartz (a.k.a. Mix Master Mike - turntables, samples). Their fusion of hip hop and punk rock genres could be seen as a precursor to the rapcore and nu metal genres of the late 1990s which included bands such as Limp Bizkit, Korn & Kid Rock. The band is well-known for its eclecticism, jocular and flippant attitude toward interviews and interviewers, obscure cultural references and kitschy lyrics, and for performing in outlandish matching suits. Their debut album, Licensed to Ill (1986), enjoyed international critical acclaim and commercial success. The album yielded the hit singles, "Fight for Your Right", "Hold It Now, Hit It", "No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn", "Paul Revere" and "Brass Monkey".
