Derided as one-hit wonders,estranged from their original producer and record label,and in self-imposed exile in Los Angeles,the Beastie Boys were written off by most observers before even beginning to record their second album - an embarrassing commercial flop that should have ruined the group's career. But not only did "Paul's Boutique" eventually transformed the Beasties from a fratboy novelty to hiphop giants,its sample-happy,retro aesthetic changed popular culture forever.
