Album Notes
The Beastie Boys: Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz, Adam "MCA" Yauch, Mike "Mike D" Diamond (rap vocals).
Additional personnel includes: Kerry King (guitar).
This Japanese special edition of the original album has been re-released on CD and packaged in a 12 x 12 inch album-sized LP replica sleeve, with all the original artwork and tracks.
Wholly original, the first and the best rap group to make the genre universally palatable. These Brooklyn boys succeed with a combination of tremendously exciting backgrounds, from straight riff metal (on 'Rhymin' & Stealin'' and 'She's Crafty') to sample ('The New Style'). Having learnt their art by observing rather than participating while at NYU, they sound street-cred, even though some members are positively middle-class. The Volkswagen badge-stealing craze was unknowingly started by the band, who wore the pendant merely in order to mock the hippies who had worn the ban-the-bomb medallion. The rap album for people who think they don't like rap.

Editorial Reviews
Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century
Vibe (12/01/1999)

Bloody Essential - ...There's lots of self-reverential bragging, more tenuous rhymes than are usually permitted by law and, most importantly of all, an unshakably glorious celebration of being alive....A surprisingly enduring classic.
Melody Maker (07/22/1995)

4 Stars - ...LICENSE TO ILL remains the world's only punk rock rap album, arguably superior to NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS...knowing that apathy and slovenliness were just around the corner...
Q (09/01/1994)

4 stars out of 5 - [A]n album's worth of yelping hip hop and snarling guitar riffs....[The album] remains one of their very finest moments.
