jesus.. hmmmmm.. Paul's Boutique is awesome but Check Your Head is special to me because i bought it the day it came out.. When it seemed nobody was a Beastie fan anymore.. I remember watching the video premiere of "Pass The Mic" on MTV a week or two before the album came out with my brother and our friend john.. after we saw it, we dusted of our skateboards (john ended up with my old Nash

) and just skated through the whole neighborhood.. They were continuing to change the musical game, and I was so happy and yet "i told ya so" once the world caught up.. Tons of memories with them.. they were (still are) the shit!!
ya hear me?
