Tough Guy. Root Down. The Update. Alright Hear This. Flute Loop. The Scoop. Bodhisattva Vow. And Ad-Rock's the irreverent name-dropper who compares himself to everyone from underground cartoonist Vaughn Bode to Moog pioneer Dick Hyman in the process of big-upping his microphone technique. But even amidst all the Gen-X cool-hunting and social-conscience soul-searching the Beasties were undertaking at the time, Ill Communication rings true because it stands as one of their most dedicated engagements with hip-hop culture.
They're game as far as actual lyricism goes; even if they're a half-step behind the dizzying, rapid-fire linguistic free-for-all of Paul's Boutique , there's enough quotables and inspired moments of limber beat-riding in tracks like "Sure Shot", "Root Down", and "Do It" to hold up.
Throw those moments alongside anything off Buhloone Mindstate or Midnight Marauders and they stand up strong, plus you've got yourself a hell of a pool party mixtape.
A whole album full of that caliber of straight-up hip-hop would've been a pretty safe bet for borderline-classic status, but the fact that Ill Communication frequently switches between that and their more sprawling live-band stuff actually adds to its kitchen-sink charm a bit-- largely because so much of it's cut from a similar cloth as the soul-jazz records they sampled for their lyrical cuts.
Sure, the big axe-swinging titan at the center of this album is the fuck-yeah highlight "Sabotage", the meatiest slab of moshpit rap-rock aggression the Beasties ever put to tape, and it stomps around a bit conspicuously between the funk-bop grooves of "Root Down" and "Get It Together".
