DVD Video Anthology - Criterion Collection

After the out-of-nowhere success of Licensed to Ill, the Beasties had to prove they were more than one-album wonders, and they hit it out of the park with this follow-up. The Boys' lyrics are a hysterical deluge of cultural allusion (Ponce De Leon, Sadaharu Oh, and Love Connection's Chuck Woolery all get name-dropped), compressed wordplay, and adenoidal snottiness, but the real stars are the Dust Brothers, whose production is a hip-hop landmark. Their music tracks sound like the history of rock and funk radio boiled down to a pure concentrate--monster jams built out of thousands of unexpected samples (Johnny Cash! The Sweet!). It's a killer party album, kinetic and dense, and it never slows down. --Douglas Wolk

This album is a sonic masterpiece and absolutely hilarious, too----quite an achievement. The beats are fresh, complex, and layered in such a way as to create polyrhythms. First rate production and conception sound simultaneously contemporary and timeless.
For me, only Public Enemy's first two releases and Run DMC's Raising Hell come close in artistry, purpose, and vitality. Gangster Rap is a joke compared to this revolution in sound and rhythm.
Dude....it's Pauls Boutique....the perfection of production, lyrics, and overall hip hop occurred on this collaboration with the Dust Brothers in 1989 but nobody really figured it out until after Check Your Head came out....ahead of it's time.....can never be done again....
Though they are different genres, I rank this is one of my favorite albums of all time along with Beatles Revolver, Floyd Wish You Were Here and a few others. This is as good as it gets...
