Beastie Boys Considered Naming Album After Beyonce

The Beastie Boys have revealed that they considered naming their new album after none other than Beyonce Knowles.

The New York rappers eventually settled on ‘The Mix-Up’, but one title in the making was ‘Think Like Beyonce’s Leg.’

Reflecting on their ultimate album title, Mike D said: “It's a little too sensible almost huh? I was a big fan of the title 'Thick Like Beyonce's Leg' but that didn't make the final cut for some reason.

“Beyonce's very talented and beautiful and she's probably stronger than we are... We didn't want to have any problems with her."

Reflecting on the style of the album, D continued to xfm: "If you know us, and you know our different albums, the influences will make sense. But it's a lot different from our last album, because we play all instruments on the whole album, it’s not sampled."

"So there's a lot of different styles of music. It might seem kinda out there if you're not that up on what we're doing and have just casually checked out a little bit of this and this, but if you've followed our albums you're gonna be well prepared."
