I was very sad to hear the news of Adam Yauch’s death yesterday. We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and v smart guy. May he rest in peace.

Let’s not forget about the time that Adam Yauch pulled the original “Kanye” at the VMAs (start watching around 2:30).

RIP the man who “had all the ideas for Star Wars.”
