Here is their story, told for the first time in the words of the band. Adam “ADROCK” Horovitz and Michael “Mike D” Diamond offer revealing and very funny accounts of their transition from teenage punks to budding rappers; their early collaboration with Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin; the debut album that became the first hip hop record ever to hit #1,  Licensed to Ill —and the album’s messy fallout as the band broke with Def Jam; their move to Los Angeles and rebirth with the genre-defying masterpiece  Paul’s Boutique;  their evolution as musicians and social activists over the course of the classic albums  Check Your Head, Ill Communication,  and  Hello Nasty  and the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits conceived by the late Adam “MCA” Yauch; and more. For more than thirty years, this band has had an inescapable and indelible influence on popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a style as distinctive and eclectic as a Beastie Boys album,  Beastie Boys Book  upends the typical music memoir, featuring a collection of voices reminiscent of your favorite mixtape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto Credit 1987 Lynn Goldsmith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudiobook Cast Includes:\u003cbr\u003e\nSteve Buscemi \/ Ada Calhoun \/ Bobby Cannavale \/ Exene Cervenka\u003cbr\u003e\nRoy Choi \/ Jarvis Cocker \/ Elvis Costello \/ Chuck D \/ Nadia Dajani\u003cbr\u003e\nMichael Diamond \/ Snoop Dogg \/ Will Ferrell \/ Crosby Fitzgerald\u003cbr\u003e\nRandy Gardner \/ Kim Gordon \/ Josh Hamilton \/ Adam Horovitz\u003cbr\u003e\nLL Cool J \/ Spike Jonze \/ Pat Kiernan \/ Talib Kweli \/ Dave Macklovitch\u003cbr\u003e\nRachel Maddow \/ Tim Meadows \/ Bette Midler\/ Mix Master Mike\u003cbr\u003e\nNas \/ Yoshimi O \/ Rosie Perez \/ Amy Poehler \/ Kelly Reichardt\u003cbr\u003e\nJohn C.
