If you think that Beastie Boys is just only a rap group, you're wrong!! well check this shit out!!

Beastie Boys came together in 1979 as a punk band called The Young Aborigines. In 1981 Adam Yauch (MCA) joined the group, and from the suggestion of their guitarist John Berry, they changed the band's name to Beastie Boys. The name "Beastie" is sometimes thought originally to have stood for "Boys Entering Anarchistic States Towards Internal Excellence," and that the initials B.B. intended to mimic Washington D.C. hardcore punk band Bad Brains, but these were actually afterthoughts once the band's name was already Beastie Boys, according to Mike D and MCA. The band's original line-up consisted of Adam Yauch (MCA) on bass, Kate Schellenbach on drums, John Berry on guitar, and Michael Diamond (Mike D) on vocals. Their first gig was at Berry's house on Yauch's 17th birthday.

On Friday, November 13, 1982, The Beastie Boys played Bard College at Philip Pucci's birthday party. This marked the band's first on screen appearance in Philip Pucci's 1982 film, "Beastie". Pucci's wholly original concept for “Beastie” was to hand out a half dozen 16mm cameras to audience members and have them the Beastie Boys performance from their point of view while a master sync sound camera filmed from the balcony of the abandoned theatre where the performance took place. A one minute clip of "Beastie" was subsequently excerpted and licensed by The Beastie Boys for use in the "Egg Raid on Mojo" segment of the "Skills to Pay the Bills" long form video released by Capitol Records.

The band quickly earned support slots for Bad Brains, the Dead Kennedys, the Misfits and Reagan Youth at venues such as CBGB and Max's Kansas City, playing at the latter venue on its closing night. That same year, the Beastie Boys recorded the 7" EP Pollywog Stew at 171A studios, an early recorded example of New York hardcore.

John Berry left the group (later forming Thwig, Big Fat Love, and the San Francisco booze rock band Bourbon Deluxe) and was replaced by Adam Horovitz(Ad-rock)—who had previously played in the punk band, The Young and the Useless in 1983. The band also performed its first rap track, "Cooky Puss," based on a prank call by the group to Carvel Ice Cream. It became a hit in New York underground dance clubs upon its release.
