Rap icons Beastie Boys have released the music video for "Make Some Noise", the first single from their upcoming album Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. The Beasties themselves are not in the video; in their place are Seth Rogen as Mike D., Danny McBride as MCA and Elijah Wood as MCA.

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.

The Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch is making his much-anticipated return after a bout with cancer. The rap trio was forced to cancel a 2009 tour and delay their next album when Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor. He broke the news to fans in a YouTube video and proceeded with treatment while the Boys went on hiatus. A year and a half later, bandmate Mike D is telling BBC Radio in
