Reviews
White Jewish kids from secure backgrounds who conquered the rap and pop charts (their album License to Ill was the first hip-hop album to top the pop charts) and purveyors of vulgar, often hilarious lyrics who actively support liberal political and social causes, the Beastie Boys are now rap and rock elder statesmen. In such anthems as "Fight for Your Right (to Party)," they incorporated heavy-metal riffs and samples in the format pioneered by Run-DMC to reach the vast suburban-white-kid audience in previously unimaginable ways. They are as responsible for hip-hop's hold on the pop charts and pop culture as Run-DMC. Light's notably well written presentation of their story explores the Beasties phenomenon with wit and purpose far too rarely manifested in the rock-bio genre. In incidents ranging from their almost accidental introduction to the recording industry to collaborating with reggae god Lee "Scratch" Perry to support for the Dalai Lama (they were instrumental in organizing a benefit concert for Tibet), the Beasties' story is an engrossing, important chapter of pop-music history. -Booklist, "Light's notably well written presentation of their story explores the Beasties phenomenon with wit and purpose far too rarely manifested in the rock-bio genre.

Synopsis
In 1987, three white Jewish boys from New York City were the most fascinating phenomenon in the burgeoning rap music scene. No, really. The Beastie Boys, barely out of their teens, had just released Licensed to Ill , which quickly became the first hip-hop album to reach number one on the charts. Pairing vulgar and hilarious lyrics with heavy-metal-derived musical backing and a punk DIY attitude, the Beasties-MCA (Adam Yauch), King Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz), and Mike D (Michael Diamond)-changed the face of rap forever by bringing it into the mainstream. In the years that followed, they would change it again and again-musically, culturally, and politically. To create The Skills to Pay the Bills , Alan Light spent years taping conversations with the group, their friends, roommates, producers, engineers, collaborators, and other artists from Madonna to Chuck D. Here, as told from the inside, is the fascinating tale of three rump-shaking, innovative rappers whose albums still go platinum and whose tours continue to fill arenas after more than two decades of making music. The Skills to Pay the Bills chronicles the Beasties' unique journey from the hardcore New York underground to the top of the Billboard charts. It is a story of larger-than-life personalities, noble causes, funky beats, and truly one of the most influential and ambitious groups of all time. I said, Where'd you get your information from, huh? "The first time I met them, I thought I was on Candid Camera." -D.M.C. "I think I made out with Adam Yauch once in their dressing room." -Madonna "One of my favorite groups is the Beastie Boys." -Bono, In 1987, three white Jewish boys from New York City were the most fascinating phenomenon in the burgeoning rap music scene.
