How about another
80s Hip Hop Lives track?! Aight, so this week goes to hip-hop champions the
Beastie Boys, and their
1986 track
Brass Monkey.
Beastie Boys are another of those legendary groups that have managed to remain successfully prolific through 3 decades and now have recently released yet another major album in this 4th decade! For those who don't already know they consist of
Mike D (Michael Diamond),
MCA (Adam Yauch), and
Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz), and they originate out of New York City, USA. Brass Monkey was released as a single from their 1st (and still my favorite of theirs) album in 1986
Licensed to Ill. Now, I was always told that brass monkey was a drink consisting of beer mixed with orange juice
, but according to
Wikipedia a brass monkey can also consist of
"a mixture of gin, triple sec, tequila, orange juice, sour mix and grapefruit juice, or to a mixture of rum, vodka and orange juice (with or without Galliano). An alternative version of the brass monkey is a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor that has been consumed to the top of the label and then filled with orange juice."
No doubt it's an excellent and tasty beverage to imbibe...stay tuned para mas.
