Product Description

Product Description
Solid Gold Hits is quite possibly the most descriptive title ever. Almost 20 years of music condensed into a one-disc best of compilation—the quality is amazing. Features old classics like "Brass Monkey" and "No Sleep", right through to "Sabotage", "Body Movin" and "An Open Letter To NYC".

CD Description
'Solid Gold Hits' is a specially selected collection of greatest hits and remixes by one of the most successful and influential hip-hop acts of all time, The Beastie Boys. Over the course of the past twenty-plus years, The Beastie Boys have managed to splice hip-hop with almost every conceivable genre out there, from hair metal to big beat, making this album is the perfect showcase of their evolution in sound over that period. Includes the singles 'Sabotage' and 'Sure Shot'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most illingest B-Boys, 3 Jun 2006
By Alex (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solid Gold Hits [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)
In order for Capitol to allow the Beasties to press forward with their soon to be released (in the UK) concert movie, Awesome; I Shot That, they requested the bands MCA to compile a 15-track greatest hits collection in the run up to Xmas 2005.

But never mind the fact that this is a blatent record company idea. And never mind the fact that 1999's excellent Anthology (with most the hits, rarities, b-sides, and other songs the Beasties themsleves like and chose) already exists...if you're new to the boys or just a casual fan, this is absolutely perfect.

Every track really is solid gold, and each album is represented fairly, albeit obviously. So there's the early frat boy rocker anthems of Fight For Your Right and No Sleep Til Brooklyn, still sounding gloriously mega 20 years on, to the recent offerings including 98's Intergalactic (a UK best single chart-wise for the boys) and even more recently the Beasties comeback single Ch-Check It Out.

For a band who, in all honesty, offer so much on the individual records, taking the biggest singles over 20 years is always going to result in a decent collection. Sure Shot, perhaps a career highlight, is just absolutely perfect hip hop, as is 95's old school Jimmy Smith sampling Root Down. See Brass Monkey, a hip hop classic, slide along side later works such as the excellent Pass the Mic, or 2004's heavier toned An Open Letter to NYC.

The whole 15 track collection is littered with classic, classic Beastie Boys, old and new. It's no fair representation of all their work over the years, and the various styles they've incorporated in their music, but it's a collection of singles any rap group would die for. And I say rap, I use it in the credible sense. Today's artists at the top of the pile, say the Eminems or 50 Cents of this world, could never match the work here.

Superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Gold, 16 Nov 2005
By David Turner "davidjohnturner" (Bolton, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is an absolute must for any Beastie Boys fan, one disc documenting their music over the last two decades or so, from Fight For Your Right to Ch-check It Out, with only one important omission in my opinion (3 Mc's and 1 DJ). Listen out for the very political, but also excellent "An open Letter To NYC". These guys have truly stood the test of time...Outstanding

4.0 out of 5 stars alright, 8 Jul 2006
By YoungB "The King Of The UK" (Diss, Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
This is a good old school album, but with modern beats.
Beastie boys are capable rappers and on this are some good songs, brass monkey being the best.
The sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, but it really is an essential in any rap fans collection.
