Listen: Beastie Boys Get Experimental With 'Tadlock's Glasses'

Another track from the Beastie Boys' long-awaited new album Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 has leaked. While the album's first single "Make Some Noise" leaned on classic Beasties funk, "Tadlock's Glasses" is much more experimental, with the trio rapping through distorted effects over a digitally warped electro funk track. The album will come out on May 3rd, but you can listen to a radio rip of the song in the player below.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
