Licensed To Ill

Licensed to Ill is great mix of rap and punkrock with an entertaining sense of humor. Their introduction in their music video Fight For Your Right sums up the band pretty well: Screaming like lunatics while smacking a dildo against their head. Ad Rock's high nasally voice always makes me laugh with whatever incredibly juvenile lyrics they are rapping about. Rhyming and Stealing is a great opening track with a fusion of their styles. Girls still feels surprising modern despite being almost 40 years old. The music videos for Fight For Your Right and No Sleep Till Brooklyn are up there with the best. More music videos need pie fights and giant bags with dollar signs.
