You know I'm not a big hip hop fan but have always liked these guys and have several albums. Like them or not these guys were a big break out band who got respect from a bunch of people of all ages, races, and nationalities. This is not only a big loss to the hip hop community but a HUGE loss to the music community. The Beastyboys may replace MCA eventually but they will never be the same. Rest in peace Adam Yauch (MCA), you will greatly be missed.
