![I’ve been a fan of the Beastie Boys since the MTV’s glory days. Yeah the 90’s. And they are one of the few if not the only rap artists that I truly admire and respect. They’re music is not about violence, blings, women’s behind, or any that kind of shit that’s sterotypical with the genre. They’re all about partying and having a good time. Not to mention, they can play real musical instrument and they fuse hip-hop with rock which I really love.
Rest in peace, sir. Thanks for the good music. Respect.

RIP: Adam “MCA” Yauch, at 47: Adam “MCA” Yauch, who co-founded pioneering hip-hop group the Beastie Boys with Mike “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horowitz in 1979, has died. He was 47.
Yauch had been in treatment for cancer since 2009, when doctors discovered a tumor in his salivary gland.
Earlier this year, Yauch posted this on the band’s website:
Hello My Friends While I’m grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated. I’m continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future.
In addition to the Beastie Boys, Yauch was heavily involved in the Free Tibet movement and co-organized the Tibetan Freedom Concerts in the ’90s. He is survived by his wife and daughter.

![I always drink Red Bull at work. Everyday. Without it, I’d be as good as dead.
So yeah. Thank you. Much respect.

RIP: Chaleo Yoovidhya, creator of the world-famous energy drink Red Bull, passed away today of natural causes. He was 89.
The self-made billionaire, listed by Forbes as the richest man in Thailand, launched Red Bull (Krathing Daeng in Thailand) in the 70’s through his company, T.C. Pharmaceuticals. It was an instant hit among truck drivers and construction workers.
In the early 80’s, Chaleo was persuaded by Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz to introduce the drink in foreign markets. Mateschitz, then an international marketing director, would make frequent trips to Thailand, and found that “one glass [of Krating Daeng] and the jet lag was gone.”
Chaleo partnered with Mateschitz, and Red Bull quickly took flight. It is currently sold in over 70 countries.
