The Beastie Boys have wanted to do a book for years but the last few years they had to focus on the health of Adam “MCA” Yauch, who passed away in May 2012. Mike D and Ad-Rock will create the memoir focusing on the band’s career. The untitled memoir will be edited by Sacha Jenkins, co-founder of Ego Trip magazine and creative consultant on The Boondocks TV show.

The book is expected to hit stores and tablets in the fall of 2015.

Here’s two of my favorite pics of them. From punk to hip hop!

Finally they have announced roughly when their next album will be out.  Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is finally coming out next spring.  I’m a little confused on what they are doing here.  Part 2 will have the same 16 tracks that was to be on Part 1 and the tracks for Part 2 are back on Part 1.  I don’t get it.

“I know it’s weird and confusing, but at least we can say unequivocally that Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is coming out on time, which is more than I can say about Part 1, and really is all that matters in the end. We just kept working and working on various sequences for part 2, and after a year and half of spending days on end in the sequencing room trying out every possible combination, it finally became clear that this was the only way to make it work. Strange but true, the final sequence for Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 works best with all its songs replaced by the 16 tracks we originally had lined up in pretty much the same order we had them in for Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. So we’ve come full circle.”
