Beasties were a huge part of my teenage and early years. They are all very very talented individuals and involved in much more than music. I think that people that don't listen to their music or keep up with it fail to realise the impact they had/have on the music industry. My deepest condolences go out to those effected on a larger scale. I'm very very greatful to have had them as role models in my skateboard years. Major impact on me in life.
