This is a really big bummer. Very few artists can really say that they paved the way for so many people to follow, and he is one of them.

RIP MCA.

So sad. The Beasties were a huge part of my life when i was growing up, i was lucky enough to see them in Glasgow in '99 and i'll never forget it. I'm actually watching 'Awesome i fuckin shot that' as i type.

Hopefully people will take a minute to find out what the guy was all about and that can be part of his legacy as well as the amazing music he was part of.

RIP MCA you'll be missed

I am truly saddened by the death of MCA. I have always been a big fan of the Beasties. My heart goes out to his family especially Mike D and Ad Rock. Those guys are truly brothers from other mothers. RIP Adam Yauch. You will be missed.

such a sad thing to hear, you know the other Beasties and those in that community are all feeling the sadness and pain of seeing a friend die to a cancer, man, a shame, life is precious

he'll be missed

Damn, this is the saddest news. I can't remember a time when I haven't listened to the Beastie Boys, they just always seem to have been there.

The first 7" single I ever bought was No Sleep Til Brooklyn in 1987, I was 10 years old and I still have it. At the time it was just a fun song and they'd been in the news because of the riot on their UK tour so it felt more rebellious to be listening to them than to the metal that I loved at the time. I didn't think for a second that I'd still love them 25 years later.

R.I.P. Adam, one of the true greats of modern music
