And Horovitz went to Los Angeles, to make a film ( Lost Angels). While there, he came across some musicians/producers called the Dust Brothers. It was their music that got him excited and brought the others over to the west coast. The band recorded Licensed to Ill in 1986 and released it on November 15, 1986. The album was favorably reviewed by Rolling Stone magazine. Licensed to Ill became one of the best-selling rap albums of the 1980s and the first rap album to go number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, where it stayed for five weeks. It also reached number 2 on the Top R&B album chart. [26] It was Def Jam's fastest selling debut record to date and sold over nine million copies. The fourth single, " (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)", reached number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Dave who would later run into Yauch and had come out as trans but also had cancer and wanted to live out her days in the body she was meant to have. And Yauch made it happen.Overall, this is a very human story. It captures the mistakes, of which there were a few, and the losses. It pinpoints the good fortune along with the deft touches.

Beastie Boys also published Grand Royal Magazine, with the first edition in 1993 featuring a cover story on Bruce Lee, artwork by George Clinton, and interviews with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and A Tribe Called Quest's MC Q-Tip. The 1995 issue of the magazine contained a memorable piece on the mullet. The Oxford English Dictionary cites this as the first published use of the term, along with the lyrics from the band's 1994 song, "Mullet Head". That term was not heard in the 1980s, even though that decade has retroactively been hailed as the mullet's peak in popularity. The OED says that the term was "apparently coined, and certainly popularized, by US hip-hop group Beastie Boys". [41] Grand Royal Magazine is also responsible for giving British band Sneaker Pimps their name. [ citation needed]
