In the documentary, surviving members, Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz will narrate the world-renowned hip-hop group’s journey over the course their four-decade friendship and business relationship. The documentary directed by Spike Jonze is also responsible for directing the following music videos for the Beastie Boys; “Time for Livin’,” “Sabotage,” “Ricky’s Theme,” “Sure Shot,” the second version “Root Down,” and “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win.”
If it wasn’t for the Beastie Boys’ willingness to experiment with hip-hop and create “Cookie Puss,” the three-man collective most likely wouldn’t have sold 50 million albums worldwide. From 1986 to 2004, the “Intergalactic” rappers curated seven platinum-selling albums making them one the longest-lived hip-hop collectives in mainstream music. In 2012, the Beastie Boys became the third hip-hop act in history to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall Fame.
