The Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique
Author: LeRoy, Dan

Publisher: Bloomsbury
Year first published: 01 May 2006
Pages: 144 Format: Paperback / softback
Derided as one-hit wonders, estranged from their original producer and record label, and in self-imposed exile in Los Angeles, the Beastie Boys were written off by most observers before even beginning to record their second album-an embarrassing commercial flop that should have ruined the group's career. But not only did Paul's Boutique eventually transform the Beasties from a frat-boy novelty to hiphop giants, its sample-happy, retro aesthetic changed popular culture forever.
