"They had a lyric where they flipped a thing around and they had a hook for one of their songs Party For Your Right to Fight. "They definitely set the pace in terms of making incredible music that people wanted to dance to. "That was incredible music but they had a lot to say at the same time. "Getting political was never a plan for the Beastie Boys MCs when they hit the studio to record To the Five Boroughs.
