In this video I play the 2009 re-press of the 1989 album, Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys. Not only is it one of my favorite albums of all time, Paul's Boutique is arguably one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums to come out of the 80s. Although it wasn't initially received well, over time, the album became a cult classic. Produced with the Dust Brothers under Capitol records, this work of art pushes the boundaries of Hip-Hop, Funk, Classic Rock and R&B. It is eclectic, yet seems to flow "like wine". Paul's Boutique is an extremely nostalgic album for me and one that I will cherish forever.

The song's lyrics, most of which are delivered by Chuck D with interjections from Flavor Flav, include boasts of Public Enemy's prowess, an endorsement of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, retorts to unspecified critics, and arguments for rap as a legitimate musical genre on par with rock. The lyrics also have a notable metrical complexity, making extensive use of meters like dactylic hexameter. The title phrase appears in the chorus. The song includes several shout-outs to fellow hip hop artists like Run–D.M.C., Eric B, LL Cool J and, unusually for a rap group, Yoko Ono, Sonny Bono and thrash metal band Anthrax, allegedly because Chuck D was flattered about Scott Ian wearing Public Enemy shirts while performing Anthrax gigs. Anthrax later collaborated with Chuck D to cover the song.

The song's production by The Bomb Squad, which exemplifies their characteristic style, features a dissonant mixture of funk samples, drum machine patterns, record scratching by DJ Terminator X, siren sound effects and other industrial noise.

Critic Robert Christgau has described the song as "postminimal rap refracted through Blood Ulmer and On the Corner, as gripping as it is abrasive, and the black militant dialogue-as-diatribe that goes with it is almost as scary as "Stones in My Passway" or "Holidays in the Sun".[2] "Bring the Noise" was ranked No. 160 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

"Low" is a song by American rock band Cracker.
