A History of the Beastie Boys: Rhyming & Stealing
by Angus Batey

The first biographical attempt to document the band's metamorphosis from their initial incarnation as Greenwich Village punk rockers, through their days as rap's biggest pop stars and on to their present status as all-conquering multi-media coolest people in rock. This volatile and fascinating history examines their beer-soaked rise to global infamy and their phenomenal commercial success.
