When Yauch first announced his diagnosis in a July 2009 video message on the band’s website, he told fans his doctors were optimistic.

“It’s only localized in this one area, and it’s not in a place that affects my voice,” he said, adding that he would undergo both surgery and radiation. “So it’s a little bit of a setback. It’s a pain in the a--. But this is something that’s very treatable, and in most cases, they’re able to completely get rid of it.”

A year later he asked fans to meditate with him “to smash apart all the cancer cells” in the world.

“We are visualizing taking the energy away from the cancer and then sending it back at the cancer as lighting bolts that will break apart the DNA and RNA of the cells,” he wrote in a letter to fans on the group’s mailing list.

Oral cancers are tough to beat. Unless you are willing to remove your entire lower jaw and most of your neck there are few options. Even if you do that there aren't any guarantees. :(
 
Pretty bold statement there. Some would say it's Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet."

PB was way ahead of its time. Fear of a Black Planet was kind of the beginning of PE's slide. Just my opinion but there are only a few tracks on that album I can listen to over and over. I'd choose Nation of Millions over Fear but Paul's Boutique was right on the cusp of the college music movement. Trippy, funky, but still hip hop. I recomend you relisten.
 
But there's a bunch of 40-somethings feeling awful today. Including me.

:exactly::goodpost:

I'm only 30 something but I grew up on these guys. Never got old either. I also still have my LTI cassette with my name/teacher's name/4th grade written on the back!

"Well my name is MCA I got a license to kill...
I think you know what time it is it's time to get ill...
Now what do we have here?
An outlaw and his beer?
I run this land, you understand, do I make myself clear? "

Terrible, terrible loss. RIP MCA
 
RIP Adam, AKA MCA...my favorite Beastie Boy...

Thank you for those sick rhymes, great beats, your humanitarian work and your contribution to my childhood...Thanks bro!

I am a big fan of Paul's Boutique, but I never had the tape as a kid. I'm nostalgic about License to Ill, which is probably why I like it better. But \it's got catchier, more pop-friendly tracks, too.

I only throw on LTI once in a while. Although when I do, I listen to Original Ill for the extra stuff. It was the first, and I'll always have an amazing fondness for it, but for me, Paul's is my favorite by FAR.
 
Been a fan since 10 years old. Saw them in 1995 at 19 years old in Minneapolis.
