Back in 2009 the Beastie Boys and Nas collaborated on a video for their song ‘Too Many Rappers.’ Until now that video had never been seen.
The video for the song, from the Beastie’s last album, 2011’s Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, shows the Boys deep in their element, rolling around town, doing stupid stuff, and basically just having a good time.
It’s pretty typical of what we’d expect from Ad Rock, MCA and Mike D, but sadly contains the line, uttered by Adam Yauch, “I never die, ’cause death is the cousin of sleep,” as we lost him just three years later thanks to that son of a bitch known as cancer. Which is too bad, because we could really use more music videos like these today.
