The Beastie Boys are back

Yep. The Beastie Boys, one of hip-hop's most influential rap groups of all time, have just recently released a mini-movie that retells the musical history of the group. This will also be followed by their new album, which is set to be released on May 3rd of this year. The movie itself, named "Fight For Your Right Revisited," features a lot of well-known celebrities, like Jack Black and Will Ferrell.

The Beastie Boys themselves, and yes, they are white.

I know that most of the people who read this blog aren't really into hip-hop and rap, but I'm pretty interested in this. I always figured that the Beastie Boys had faded away from the hip-hop scene, like most of the other rappers and rap groups from the 80s, but apparently not. Looks like age means nothing to them, seeing as how they're all around 45 years old now. I can't wait to see how their new album turns out.

For anyone interested, see the mini-movie here.
