Special Features
US '98 1st press original, 2×Lp. It is undetermined if this is the gold limited edition version.
Often seen as the last Beastie Boys album where everything fully clicks. Hello Nasty leans more toward straight hip-hop than the previous two albums, with a stronger focus on drum machines, samples, and loop-based beats. At the same time, it keeps room for punk, noise, and rock-influenced tracks across the tracklist.
Songs like “Intergalactic” and “Body Movin’” anchor the rap side, while other tracks shift tempo or texture in ways that reflect the group’s punk and rock background. It works both as a rap record for longtime hip-hop fans and as a wide-open entry point for listeners who came up on the band’s punk and rock side.
