[Watch] Jimmy Fallon and The Roots Pay Tribute to MCA, Coldplay Covers "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)"
Following the devastating passing of Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch last Friday, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots paid tribute on Friday's episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. After giving a brief statement, Fallon delivered a video montage honoring MCA, which gave footage from the Beastie Boys 2009 appearance on the show. Afterwards, The Roots performed covers of "Sure Shot," "Remote Control," and "Sabotage" throughout the show. After the jump, you can stream the entirety of Friday's episode (Fallon’s montage is at the 11:40, and The Roots’ cover of “Sure Shot” can be seen at the 4:15. The other covers performed by The Roots can be seen before and after each break) as well as the 2009 appearance of the Beastie Boys on the show.
Another tribute paid to the passing of MCA comes from Coldplay, who performed a cover of "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)" during their Friday night performance at the Hollywood Bowl. Watch the acoustic, piano-led cover after the jump.
Beastie Boys Unveil Album Artwork, Tracklisting
Screw you, cancer! Beastie Boys are baaaaccckkk!
Now that Adam Yauch (aka MCA) has recovered from his battle with cancer, we will finally get to hear new Beastie music! What's more, we get album artwork, a release date, a track listing AND a song to check out!
Since Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1 was supposed to drop back in 2009 but was delayed indefinitely due to MCS's diagnosis, we now have Hot Sauce Committee Pt.2. What's interesting is that a lot of the songs that appear on this track listing were on HSCP1.
As you might have guessed, the album artwork is above. HSCP2 will drop on May 3rd, courtesy of Capitol Records.
You can check out their collaboration with Nas called "Too Many Rappers" as well as the track listing after the jump!
