When ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part Two,’ the Beastie Boys latest album leaked onto the internet early, the band had no litigious response. In fact, they all but embraced the effort by making it available for free themselves.
With great hubris, we are making the full explicit, aka filthy dirty nasty, version available for streaming on our site, said the band in a statement. We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony.
The Beastie Boys have embraced the online movement long before most other music artists and have followed that up with a viral campaign for ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part Two.’ That includes a four-minute video for the first single Make Some Noise and a 30-minute mini-movie Fight for Your Right Revisited.
