15 Landmark Albums That Changed The Face Of Music Forever
7. Beastie Boys - Pauls Boutique
Three years after their debut album, Licensed To Ill, the Beastie Boys were in danger of being considered a one trick pony. With Pauls Boutique they not only proved their importance in hip-hop but also bringing sampling into a previous unheard realm. You can strip the vocals off of Pauls Boutique and still have a brilliant blend of beats and sampling. However, add the Beasties rhyming about pop-culture, the homeless, drugs, and women (perfectly treading that fine line between stupid and clever) then you have one of the most pivotal albums in both hip-hop and music in general. Album Highlights: Johnny Ryall, Egg Man Hey Ladies
