This is actually pretty good. "Sure-Bla Di Shot Bla-Da" is awful, but "Word To the Mic" and "Tripper Trouble" are genius.

hmmmmm...i wish i had more time to bust some mixes such as that...

i just don't know what to think.

the few i listened to we're a bit chaotic and too fast.

then again i am old and overly-opiniated.

beasties+beatles maybe don't mix.

This is surprisingly okay. I mean, it's no Grey Album, but that was the mash up album to end all mash up albums.

Of course, nothing comes close to the goofiness of Jay-Zeezer.

The Beastie Boys actually once recorded a version of the Beatles' "I'm Down". It was on the promo cassettes for Licensed to Ill but never released because Michael Jackson wouldn't clear the sample...

*bobbing head*

Nice... I dig this way more than the grey album.

"Sure-Bla-Di Shot-Bla-Da" really is awful...

otherwise I like.

I agree with Trez. Good idea but...except for one or two (sorta okay), they're pretty awful.

Are there any other Beatles mixes like this aside from the Grey Album?

What's the connection here? That Beatles and Beasties both start with BEA!!! Whoa!!!!

I say that for 2005 we all stop doing or encouraging obsessive mash-ups that sound good in theory but are very limp dicked in reality. It might be a funny idea after a few drinks, but otherwise it's really tedious.
