Adam Yauch • August 5, 1964 – May 4, 2012
Last Friday the world lost a great person. Most of the world, myself included knew him as MCA of the Beastie Boys. As an entertainer, he was an innovator as part of the Beastie Boys, and through his Nathanial Hörnblowér directing numerous music videos and assorted video and film releases. He went beyond an entertainer as an activist, working for the Tibetan independence movement, and organising the Tibetan Freedom Concert. And from what I understand, an all-around great person. He will be missed, but not forgotten.
This is a collection of what I believe should be all the official singles (denoted by a *), and many of the other music videos made. Included is a YouTube link (click the song title), and an alternate link or two when available (as sometimes videos are blocked in some countries). Included as well is the director(s) of each video.
Mike D, Ad-Rock, MCA
