Ill Communication landed in June 1994 and shot straight to number one on the Billboard 200, a commercial peak that felt almost incidental to what the Beastie Boys were actually doing. Coming off the sprawling Check Your Head, they'd fully committed to being a live band again, and the interplay between Ad-Rock, MCA, and Mike D as instrumentalists gives the record a looseness that no amount of sampling alone could fake.
By 1994 the Beasties had settled into their cultural role as the grand arbiters of cool, and Ill Communication is pretty much a catalog of coolness: live funk, a bit of hardcore, ingenious samples of obscure records, keyboards by analogue master Money Mark, guest shots by Q-Tip and Biz Markie, MCA's cop-show metal number "Sabotage," and the inevitable cascade of witty old-school rhymes. But it's also a surprisingly mature record from a band that had, after all, been at it for 12 years already. The original jazz-funk instrumentals hold their own with the group's favorite sample sources. Their voices are modestly buried in the mix, and they've tempered their old snottiness with lyrical compassion: check out "Bodhisattva Vow," a salute to Buddhist spirituality.
