Beastie Boys

The live performance of "Get It Together" featuring Q-Tip at Madison Square Garden on August 21, 1998, came during an exciting time for the Beastie Boys. Just a year prior, they released "Hello Nasty," an album that would go on to be a defining moment in their career. This record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, marking their unprecedented third consecutive number one album. The mix of rock, rap, and funk showcased their evolving sound and solidified their place in hip-hop history. Fun fact: during the "Hello Nasty" era, they were deeply involved in addressing sociopolitical issues, poignantly reflected in their lyrics and public persona. Their performance at MSG was not just a concert; it embodied their energetic spirit and relentless innovation. Plus, who wouldn’t want to see Q-Tip and the Beastie Boys vibing together? That collaboration captured the essence of the late '90s hip-hop scene and brought fans a taste of nostalgia.
