The passing of Adam Nathaniel Yauch at the young age of 47 not only reminds us all of our own mortality but reminds us that The Beastie Boys cut a hip hop swath through the musical landscape forging paths for many artists to follow. 1986's Licensed to ILL was the first rap album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. It remained numero uno for 5 solid weeks. The rest is hip hop history. As a fitting tribute to Adam Yauch, songwriter, musician, director and freedom fighter- AP created a Beastie Boy playlist. RIP Adam.
