"Paul's Boutique" - Beastie Boys 1988-89

Wow, I guess I am a little slow, I took me all these years to really tune into this album. Only recently have I had an understanding of what it means to use samples in the making of an acoustic artwork. Anyhow I am listening to it now, over and over again, in an effort to really get at the artistry of this fine piece of werk.

Here is a lyrical analysis with sample notes:
