R.I.P. Adam Yauch (MCA) of the Beastie Boys

Adam Yauch, known as MCA of the legendary Beastie Boys passed away today at the age of 47.  I was a big fan of them during the 80s and 90s.  They had a raw sound fusing Rock, Breaks, and Rap music.  Although a white rap group was pretty rare in the 80s, they quickly built a solid rep and gained fame that followed them til this day.  


MCA had been diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and was undergoing treatment of the disease.  It's unfortunate that such a talented artist has left us so young.  You will be missed Adam.
