You rarely hear anyone cover the Beastie Boys. Is it because their songs rely so much on samples that they’re impossible to recreate legally without making a profit? How did they not get sued into oblivion with hundreds of samples used? Where do those royalties go today?
Maybe they are so bad or nieche that it does not make sense to cover them?
I mean, a piece is usually either covered because it is extreme popular, or because someone has a serious idea of how to improve it.
Did you just call the Beastie Boys niche?
