Get well soon MCA...

I grew up on the Beastie Boys, so it was with sadness that I heard about Adam Yauch's recent diagnosis of cancer, as a long time fan, I wish him all the best in recovery and I look forward to the Beastie Boys new album, Hot Sauce Committee

This story made our local news and it just shows how influential the Beasties still are

In a video announcement at the group's website, Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch announced that he was recently diagnosed with cancer of a salivary gland and lymph node. The prognosis seems positive--he refers to having surgery next week, and localized radiation treatments after that, but also notes that he had a full-body scan and that the cancer has not spread anywhere else in his body.

All Beastie Boys shows are canceled for now, and the band's new album, Hot Sauce Committee, which was supposed to be released in September, will be pushed back to a later date.

Mad, Mad, Mad

Back in the 90's, when certain Hip Hop lingo was used, it got used a lot, take for instance Flavo(u)r, or Fat (Phat) or Def or Ill, but one word that is still used by many artists and is still used to describe something as dope or really ill, or to mean a lot... is the word Mad.

Mad groups (ha!) and artists either named their group or themselves from this word, ie

Mad Flava,
Mad Kap
Mad Skillz
Mad Drauma
Madlib
Mad Lion
Da Mad Scientist
Mad Shorties
Mad Flowas
Ruggedness Madd Drama
Madvillian
WC & The Madd Circle
Misfits Of Madness
Madstyle
Mad Fanatic
Mad Sci
Madwreck
Mad Pack
Mad MG's
Madman Shawn
Madd Blunted
Madchild
Madlocks
Mad Scientist Phase (Brokin English Klik)
Imakemadbeats
Black Madness
Madlocks
Mad Racket
Mad Cobra
Mad Mike
The Mischevious LQ & The Mad Mischief Crew
Mad Doctor X
M.A.D.
Kwest The Madd Lad
Madd Syco
Mad African
Da Mad Klique
Mad Rapper

Masta Ace even joked about the word Mad, when he said "I got the mad knife, I'm mad mean, I kill mad crews, I read mad magazine, on his classic joint "Saturday Night Live".

I decided to put together a 15 track compilation of artists and groups with the word Mad in their title... this was fun to make and I hope you enjoy it.

Big thanks to Matt Nyce and schenectadyfan for some of these joints

crds presents; mad, mad, mad
