Well this was some really sad news to find out today. He was an awesome dude. He was diagnosed with cancer back in 2009, but somehow it had slipped out of my mind.

Holy crap, I just now finished listening to Check Your Head. That is a major bummer.

[Frown] Holy crap. My world just collapsed a little.

RIP.

Edit:

I didn't realize how hard this news would hit me.

Their most recent album was such a creative return to form for them. It's a shame he wasn't able to see the Beasties to their rightful close. [Frown]

Man, that's heartbreaking. I'm actually surprised by how much this bothers me; I cared about him a great deal more than Michael Jackson.

I totally agree with that sentiment, Tom.

Yeah, worst celeb death in a while (and it feels like there have been a lot lately). Guess it's just two MCs and one DJ now...

I'm hoping they retire the Beastie Boys moniker.
