The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has mailed out the ballots for its 27th annual list of potential inductees, leaving it to the organization’s 500 voters to pick the winners from an eclectic group that includes first-time nominees as well as returning contenders. Newly eligible artists who made this year’s cut include Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Guns N’ Roses, Heart, and Eric B. & Rakim, while

The Beastie Boys’ new single, ‘Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,’ already had a nifty, Spike Jonze-directed video to its name — but the Beasties aren’t stopping there.

I've been a huge fan of the Beastie Boys since I was a kid listening to License to Ill on my Walkman, yeah I said Walkman. Brass Monkey was my lullaby. I thought that the video for Sabotage was unbeatable, but with the help of Spike Jonze the Beastie Boys have done it with "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win."

The Beastie Boys’ new music video for ‘Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,’ the group’s single with Santigold, reunites the group director Spike Jonze (the man behind the lens of their acclaimed ‘Sabotage’ video) and features the Boys as action figures in stop-motion animation.

I have always been a fan of the Beastie Boys and I am looking forward to this album. They will be releasing their new album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 on Tuesday, May 3, 2011.  Apparently the album was leaked and so the guys said screw it and now you can go to their website and view and download the new album because they are streaming it live...

The video for the Beastie Boys' 1987 hit '(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)' was what put the Brooklyn-born trio on the map.
