July Mix - 3. Beastie Boys - Sure Shot
The Beastie Boys' Ill Communication will always be in my top 5 hip-hop albums of all time. The opening track, "Sure Shot" is debatably the best song on the album (I'd also make a case for "Root Down" as well.) Sure Shot's classic intro of that weird dog-like noise into a Jeremy Steig flute sample can instantly take most of my generation back to 1994. This song was the gateway to the most badass thing my 11 year old ears had ever heard. Check out the classic music video:
