25 years ago today (5/31/94), Beastie Boys released their fourth album Ill Communication. Debuting at #1 upon its May 1994 release, Beastie Boys’ fourth album was an unstoppable force, pervading every aspect of pop culture. Its charge to the top of the charts was led by “Sabotage” and its legendary Spike Jonze/Nathanial Hornblower ’70s TV police drama tribute. In celebration, watch Still Ill, a short documentary on the release that includes a discussion of the origins of “Sabotage,” which began with a single riff.
