Adam Nathaniel Yauch (pronounced {{IPAc-en|j|aʊ|k}}; August 5, 1964 – May 4, 2012) was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, musician, director and film distributor best known as a founding member of the hip hop group Beastie Boys. He was frequently known by his stage name, MCA and sometimes worked under the pseudonym Nathanial Hörnblowér.

Yauch founded Oscilloscope Laboratories, an independent film production and distribution company based in New York City. As a Buddhist, he was involved in the Tibetan independence movement and organized the Tibetan Freedom Concert.[2]

Early life

Born in Brooklyn, New York City, Yauch was an only child. His father was a Catholic architect, whereas his mother was a Jewish social worker.[1][2][3][4] Yauch had a non-religious upbringing.[2]

Yauch attended Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn's Midwood neighborhood. In high school, he taught himself to play the bass guitar.[8] Yauch formed the Beastie Boys with John Berry, Kate Schellenbach, and Michael Diamond.[5] They played their first show—while still a hardcore punk band in the vein of Reagan Youth—on his 17th birthday. He attended Bard College for two years before dropping out.[10]

Career

The Beastie Boys, a hip hop trio, released their first album Licensed to Ill on Def Jam Records when Yauch was 22. Yauch directed many of the Beastie Boys' music videos, often under the pseudonym Nathanial Hörnblowér.[10][6]

In 2002, Yauch constructed a recording studio in New York City called Oscilloscope Laboratories. He began an independent film distributing company called Oscilloscope Pictures.[7] Yauch directed the 2006 Beastie Boys concert film, Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!, although in the DVD extras for the film, the title character in "A Day in the Life of Nathanial Hörnblowér" is played by David Cross. He also directed the 2008 film Gunnin' For That #1 Spot about eight high school basketball prospects at the Boost Mobile Elite 24 Hoops Classic at Rucker Park in Harlem, New York City. Yauch produced Build a Nation, the comeback album from hardcore/punk band Bad Brains. In addition, Oscilloscope Laboratories also distributed Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy (2008) and Oren Moverman's The Messenger (2009).[8]

The Beastie Boys had sold 40 million records worldwide by 2010.[9] In April 2012, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yauch was inducted in absentia due to his illness.[10] His bandmates paid tribute to Yauch; a letter from Yauch was read to the crowd.[11]

In 2011, Yauch received the Charles Flint Kellogg Award in Arts and Letters from Bard College, the college he attended for two years. The award is "given in recognition of a significant contribution to the American artistic or literary heritage".[12]

Personal life

Yauch was a practicing Buddhist.[13] He became an important voice in the Tibetan independence movement.[14][15] He created the Milarepa Fund, a non-profit organization devoted to Tibetan independence and organized several benefit concerts to support the cause, including the Tibetan Freedom Concert.[10][8][16]

Yauch was also a strong supporter of feminism, going as far as to apologize for lyrics in some early Beastie Boys songs which he retroactively deemed offensive.[10][17]

In 1995, while attending a speech by the Dalai Lama at Harvard University, he met his wife, Tibetan American Dechen Wangdu. They married in 1998 and had a daughter, Tenzin Losel, the same year.[10][17][18]

In 1998, during the MTV Video Music Awards, when receiving the Video Vanguard Award, Yauch condemned America's wars in Muslim countries and prejudice against Muslims and Arabs. Artist Cihan Kaan wrote an obituary in Al Jazeera that Yauch was "Muslim Americans' hero, and America's personal Jewish Gandhi", judging his plea to be greater for intercultural healing than the music of later anti-war rappers whose lyrics included anti-Americanism and conspiracy theories.[19]

Illness and death

In 2009 Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous parotid gland and lymph node. He underwent surgery and radiation therapy, delaying the release of Hot Sauce Committee Part Two and the subsequent tour.[20][21] He was unable to appear in music videos for the album. Yauch became a vegan under the recommendation of his Tibetan doctors.[22] At the time, Yauch described the cancer as "very treatable".[23]

Yauch died at age 47 on May 4, 2012.[24][25][26]

Upon his death, fellow musicians and artists paid tribute. Russell Simmons of Def Jam Records said that Yauch "was incredibly sweet and the most sensitive artist, who I loved dearly". Flava Flav led a tribute to Yauch during a Public Enemy concert in Australia. Flav noted "Everyone always has a moment of silence, but MCA wasn't a silent MF", and proceeded to lead the audience in a 30-second ovation.[27] Paul Meany of Mutemath created and mixed a combination of "Sabotage", "Root Down", and "Sure Shot" as a studio solo and as a tribute and posted it to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on May 5, 2018.[28] Ben Stiller tweeted that Yauch "stood for integrity as an artist".[9] Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam said that Yauch was "a crazy talent whose contributions with his band were inspirational and consistently ground breaking".[29] Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke wrote, "We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and [very] smart guy. May he rest in peace."[30] Eminem said in an interview, "Adam Yauch brought a lot of positivity into the world and I think it's obvious to anyone how big of an influence the Beastie Boys were on me and so many others."[31] Phish dedicated their cover of "Sabotage" to Yauch during a concert at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on July 7, 2012.[32] Beastie Boys rapper Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz posted a note on the Beastie Boys' Tumblr page about the death of Yauch, acknowledging the pain of losing Yauch as well as the admiration for Yauch.[33]

In his last will and testament, Adam Yauch left instructions that his music could not be used in advertising, though some legal experts said that it may not be valid.[34]

On May 3, 2013, ceremonies were held to rename the Palmetto Playground in Brooklyn, New York, to Adam Yauch Park.[35]
