Overview:
"The New Style" (also known as "It's the New Style") is a song by American hip hop group the Beastie Boys, released as the second single from their debut album Licensed to Ill.
The famous "mmm...drop" line from the song was later sampled in other hip hop songs, including The Pharcyde's "Drop" (1995), OutKast's "Benz or a Beamer", and by the Beastie Boys themselves on their song "Johnny Ryall" (1989) and on their single "Intergalactic" (1998). Furthermore, the opening line was sampled on the tracks "Workinonit" and "The New" by J Dilla, and the original mix of "Check Yo Self" by Ice Cube using the phrase "check it" in the chorus. LFO used the line "I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike" in their 1999 hit "Summer Girls". Hip hop group Odd Future also used the instrumental from Big Tuck's "Not A Stain On Me" -- which samples "The New Style" -- on the song "Swag Me Out," off their mixtape Radical.
"Paul Revere" is a song by American hip hop group Beastie Boys, released as the third single from their debut album Licensed to Ill (1986). It was written by Adam Horovitz, Joseph Simmons, Darryl McDaniels, and Rick Rubin. It was produced by Rick Rubin and the Beastie Boys. The song tells a fictional story of how the Beastie Boys met.
Adam Horovitz told how the song evolved from an incident when the Beastie Boys were waiting outside a recording studio for Run-D.M.C., when Joseph Simmons ("Run") suddenly came running down the street screaming incoherently. When he reached the Beastie Boys, he said "Here's a little story I got to tell...". After much confusion, Simmons stated "THAT's the song". The band worked on it from there.
In 2007, an artist called Kia Shine released a single called "Krispy" with a similar beat, raising questions about copyright infringement.
