Beastie Boys- Licensed to Ill
Back before the days of Eminem, white rappers did exist and didn't talk about things that were extremely vulgar and disgusting. Instead, they had this amazing thing called talent, style, fraternity boy humor and didn't need to rely on being vulgar. Of course I'm talking about the Beastie Boys, and their debut landmark album.
Not every band has an anthem to what they believe, and at this time in their career "Fight for your Right" was exactly that. Instead of being super serious (that would come later as they got older) these guys knew how to party and were quite good at it. "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" is a homage to where they came from and in some ways it's another anthem-it unites people with a specific message as to what a certain band believes in.
I'm not the biggest rap fan but this is a good mixture of rap-alternative-rock that ages very well.
