While describing the Beastie Boys’ sampling process in an unidentified 1992 video interview, the late MCA said, You gotta have some idea of what labels are gonna be cool with you and what artist. MCA. A photo of the Beastie Boys from the ‘Check Your Head’ era. Though he described himself as a pause-tape battler in the video, Ad-Rock realized that pause-tapes were somewhat of an acquired taste for the casual listener. You smoke a lot of weed and you make pause-tapes, he told Propellerhead. Then you try to play it for somebody and people are like, ‘Why am I listening to this. Who cares?’ Even though peers of the group may have not understood the value of their creations, pause-tapes played a crucial role in the making of Check Your Head - from inspiration to the actual composition.
