Eminem has cited the Beastie Boys as an inspiration of his since he got in the game, so obviously he was affected by the tragic passing of group member Adam “MCA” Yauch over the weekend. In a statement to MTV, the Detroit rapper expressed his remorse and extended his condolences to the group’s other two members. See what he had to say below.
“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. They are trailblazers and pioneers and Adam will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, Mike D., and Ad-Rock.â€
