"R.I.P MCA" - Blackbook Art by Slick Dissizit

DemocracyNow.org - The pioneering hip-hop artist Adam Yauch died Friday of cancer at the age of 47. Known by his nickname "MCA," he was one-third of the legendary Beastie Boys. He was a practicing Buddhist and helped organize the Tibetan Freedom Concert. In 1998, he made headlines when at the Video Music Awards he publicly criticized the climate of racism toward Muslims and Arabs, and the Clinton administration's bombings of Sudan and Afghanistan. [Correction: It was incorrectly noted in our headline today that Yauch was speaking out against bombings in Iraq. It was rather bombings in Afghanistan and Sudan.]

"MCA you went AWOL RIP" - Rath COD/UPS

'AWESOME: I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT' @ The Prince Charles Theatre
ALL BOX-OFFICE TAKINGS TO BE DONATED TO CANCER RESEARCH! Starring: Mike D, Adam Horovitz and Adam Yauch 
"The tragic passing of founding Beastie Boy Adam Yauch was a shock to the system for both music and film fans alike. Not only was he part of one of the most influential HipHop groups of all time, but he also set up independent film production & distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, who helped titles such as We Need To Talk About Kevin and Meeks Cutoff find an audience in the States. When the news reached the office of his passing, we immediately jumped to action to put together a screening to celebrate the life of MCA, and we couldn't think of anything better than a screening the Beastie Boys' 50 camera, crowd-shot concert film, 'AWESOME: I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT' and donating all the box office takings to Cancer Research. So come on down, help us raise some money for charity and turn our downstairs screen into one huge send-off party for the & only Nathanial Hörnblowér." - T.P.C.T.Tickets can be bought on line HERE
