I won't lie — listening to the Beastie Boys anthology Sounds Of Science in the office prompted this.

But seriously, who doesn't love this video? MCA, Mike D and Ad Rock parody police shows in this clip, which is yet another classic from director Spike Jonze (just like last week's video, Weezer's "Buddy Holly").

This video was my introduction to the Beastie Boys in seventh grade, and it's responsible for getting me into all different kinds of hip-hop a few years later. I probably wouldn't have become curious about rap by the likes of 2Pac if it weren't for the Beastie Boys, even though that's ironic and ridiculous considering that musically, 2Pac and Beastie Boys have almost nothing in common, other than that they make/made hip-hop.
