Producer CUSSED OUT Band for Being LAZY…ANSWERED Him With BADDEST A** Song EVER!!--Professor of Rock
I’m not going to lie, today’s song might hurt a little. That’s because this killer track is like a Kick in the teeth. It’s as hard as nails, and so ferocious you have to crank it up whenever you hear it… and then crank it up some more. SABOTAGE but the Beastie Boys...But this high-octane assault on the ears almost didn’t make it. It sat on the shelf for a year. The band couldn’t think of any lyrics. Turns out, The B-Boys were a little distracted. Their studio had a skate ramp and a basketball court and they were always messing around. Finally, two weeks before their deadline, their producer got so frustrated he YELLED AT them to finish just one song. So in a moment of smart-ass inspiration, Ad Rock spit out a verse about how this producer was stifling their creativity by making them work. Turns out, that was all the Beastie Boys needed to turn what was supposed to be an instrumental track into the iconic hit Sabotage from their classic album Ill Communication. Plus there’s the hilarious music video to talk about as well. That’s a whole other story. We’re gonna break it all down for you with Ad Rock, MCA and Mike D… NEXT on Professor of Rock.

We also have a Patreon you'll want to check out. There you’ll find an additional catalog of exclusive content and you can even become an honorary producer to help us curate this music history. We have a great story for you today on a song that is like a hard kick in the teeth. It’s so bad, it lives up to its title and then some from a group that nobody can deny. You asked for more from these guys so here goes. First, let’s put the song and group in their musical timeline.
1994 was an eventful year in music… one of the last great years of the rock era before the mainstream became saddled with boy bands and teeny boppers… It was a big year for rock particularly as alternative rock continued to blow up the mainstream. Alice in Chains’ Jar of Flies EP debuted on the Billboard 200 at #1, becoming the first ever EP to do so. Green Day released their US Diamond breakthrough album Dookie, kicking off the mid-90s punk revival. Nine Inch Nails released The Downward Spiral, selling over 3 million copies and pushing industrial rock into the light. And The Offspring’s Smash became the best-selling independent album of all time. But the breakthrough albums didn’t stop there. There was also Soundgarden’s Superunknown, STP’s Purple, Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York… The Cranberries dropped No Need to Argue, R.E.M had Monster, and there were top-tier offerings from Oasis, Bush, Tori Amos, Beck, Veruca Salt, and on and on…
Though not strictly tied to the wide-ranging genre, another band that connected to the 90s alternative scene in their own way was the Beastie Boys. Indisputably this trio had a unique sound and style all their own. Dropping their triple-platinum fourth studio album on May 23, 1994… Ill Communication is a landmark moment for the era… And that thanks to one key track in particular, today’s song… Sabotage.
