        </figure><p>While Beastie Boys are known for being influenced by funky beats, and sampling them. Do you remember this classic lyric?</p><blockquote>It&apos;s a trip...It&apos;s got a <a href="https://youtu.be/EwGjVsCSOsU?si=2ix16KAgUg9P-GUH&amp;t=640&amp;ref=shoruken.net" rel="noreferrer">funky beat</a> and I can bug out to it!</blockquote><p>From the epic 12 minute track <strong>B-Boy Bouillabaisse</strong>, the Beastie Boys reached out to &quot;Double L&quot; to record the line. &quot;Double L&quot; is not another rapper, he is an over-the-top weather reporter by the name of Lloyd Lindsay Young.</p><p>Speaking of <a href="https://youtu.be/EwGjVsCSOsU?si=MkZefBogOTf4xmKI&amp;ref=shoruken.net" rel="noreferrer"><strong>B-Boy Bouillabaisse</strong></a>, check out what Mike D said about the 12 minute long Paul&apos;s Boutique song.</p><blockquote>We could have spent time working on them and developing them more fully, instead we decided to shove them all together into one medley and call it a bouillabaisse... coming from hardcore, we always loved the economy of super-short songs.</blockquote><p>If you&apos;ve made it this far, you are most likely a Beastie Boys fan. Stick around for another track from a current band that is obviously heavily influence by the Beastie Boys. &quot;Grab two girlies and a beer that&apos;s cold&quot;, and enjoy this track!</p><h1 id="joey-valence-braehooligang">Joey Valence &amp; Brae - HOOLIGANG</h1><figure class="kg-card kg-embed-card"><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UPqDWj-RxV8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen title="Joey Valence &amp; Brae - HOOLIGANG (Official Video)"></iframe></figure>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plex settings for direct stream]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Most Plex apps default to 720p (for highest compatibility).
