Aside from being pooped on, the Beasties made noise down at Bonnaroo when they invited Nas onstage to debut "Too Many Rappers" from their forthcoming "bizarre" LP. The gray-flecked MCs have revealed some more details concerning the awesomely titled Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1: It's out 9/15 via Capitol, it's got 17 tracks, and one of them ("Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win") features the burgeoning queen of collabos, Santigold. Also there's a track called "Funky Donkey," for lovers of funky monkeys and funky bosses. Stack this release with the systematic reissuing of their entire discography (Hello Nasty is next) and their tear headlining all the festivals, and dudes are about to get so paid. That's the album art, here's the tracklist:
01 "Tadlock's Glasses
02 "B-Boys In The Cut
03 "Make Some Noise
04 "Nonstop Disco Powerpack
05 "OK"
06 "Too Many Rappers" (Feat. NAS)
07 "Say It"
08 "The Bill Harper Collection"
09 "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" (Feat. Santigold)
10 "Long Burn The Fire"

12 "Funky Donkey"
13 "Lee Majors Come Again"

If that vantage point looked appealing, you can simulate the experience when the trio headlines Lollapalooza. Or when they headline All Points West. But if standing in a massive field isn't conducive to your hip hop immersion, the Beasties have just announced a club show at the Congress in Chicago on 8/6. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday 6/26 at 10AM Central Time at Front Gate Tickets and in-person at Site and Sound (2125 N. Milwaukee Ave.). Also, Hello Nasty is getting a 2CD/vinyl box set/multi-format reissue, as has the trio's prior releases. That's available 8/25.
