Paul's Boutique is the Beastie Boys' audacious second album, presented here as the remastered 20th anniversary CD edition.

Released in 1989, it followed the frat-rock smash of Licensed to Ill with something far stranger and more ambitious. Working with the Dust Brothers in Los Angeles, Mike D, MCA and Ad-Rock built a dense, cut-and-paste world from a mountain of samples, layering funk, soul, rock and comedy into a sprawling portrait of city life. It sold modestly at first, but its reputation has only grown.

Shake Your Rump is a tumbling, sample-stacked groove packed with quotable lines, and Hey Ladies brings disco swagger and plenty of cowbell. Egg Man is a mischievous storytelling romp, while B-Boy Bouillabaisse closes the album as a multi-part suite, stitching short pieces together into one long, inventive finale.

The three MCs trade verses with an easy, playful chemistry, and the production rewards close listening, with new details emerging every time you return to it. Listen closely and you will catch fragments of classic funk breaks and rock radio staples, flipped into something new.

Today it is widely regarded as one of the most important hip-hop records ever made, a blueprint for sample-based production and still a joy from start to finish.
