“Kids … when someone’s making decisions for you, you can bet that they’ve also decided to take what’s yours.”
Michael Diamond, Beastie Boys Book

“Rap, in all its far-reaching ambition, was now It. Our hardcore punk world simply couldn’t compete anymore. How much louder and faster and rulier could bands get? So much of hardcore is about limits—shorter, simpler, more speed, more volume—whereas breakbeats and hip hop are all about the limitless—limitless possibilities, limitless imagination. Punk rock had changed our lives, but hardcore had served its purpose. Now all we wanted was to be our own version of the Treacherous Three.

No turning back.”
Michael Diamond, Beastie Boys Book

“For certain people, you gotta remind them that you have a way better record collection than they do. And this tape I’m giving you now will show and prove it. (Not that it’s a competition…but it always is.)”
Michael Diamond, Beastie Boys Book
