Editorial Review:

Book Description:
Not only did Paul's Boutique transform the Beastie Boys from frat-boy novelty to critically lauded hip-hop giants, its groundbreaking collage of rhyme and recycled soundbites made it one of those rare releases that forever alters the course of popular music. Through interviews with Mike D, the Dust Brothers, and legendarily reclusive producer Matt Dike, among others, Dan LeRoy uncovers the story of this outrageous era in Beastie history.
