Ad-Rock, Adam 'MCA' Yauch Tribute: Beastie Boys Rapper Honors Late Bandmate, Thanks Fans for Support

Phil Andelman

Since Friday (May 4), when beloved Beastie Boys rapper Adam "MCA" Yauch died in New York City following a courageous three-year cancer fight, fans and admirers ranging from the Dalai Lama to the Mets have been lining up to pay their respects. All the while, his bandmates kept mum, but last night, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz broke his silence and addressed fans with a post on the Beasties blog.

"as you can imagine, shit is just fkd up right now," Ad-Rock wrote." but i wanna say thank you to all our friends and family (which are kinda one in the same) for all the love and support. i'm glad to know that all the love that Yauch has put out into the world is coming right back at him.
thank you."

Included with the post was a photo of someone's hand bearing the words "PWR 2 MCA" written in magic marker.

I spent half a year listening to little other than 'Paul's Boutique' when it first came out. It reminded me of the Clash's "Sandinista" album... because when it first came out it alienated a LOT of long-time fans, but turned out to be a ground-breaking piece of work that was actually way ahead of its time. RIP MCA.
