Ke$ha was in Australia recently for a couple of performances. While in Sydney, the trashy pop star responded to the feedback that she?s been receiving on her album and shared what influenced her latest hit. According to the Daily Telegraph, the 23-year old singer said ?A fun party record like ?Tik Tok? isn?t something to be dissected and picked apart. Men have been doing this for years. One of my biggest influences is Beastie Boys? ?Licensed To Ill? album.? But unlike the Beastie Boys, I doubt that Ke$ha will become as relevant ? especially with her verbal diarrhea against Britney Spears and Justin Bieber.

Beastie Boy Beats Cancer

I was really upset to find out last year that Beastie Boys rapper Adam ?MCA? Yauch was diagnosed with salivary gland tumor but I?m happy to report that he is now on his way to making a full recovery. Now that he?s well, the band is ready to start working on their new album ?Hot Sauce Committee, Part 1?, which was postponed indefinitely after Adam?s diagnosis. Adam said ?I feel better. It was touch and go there for a while, but I am finally getting my energy back. It was really disappointing to have to hold the record and postpone the tour, but doctor?s orders. We may or may not [release the album] depending on how my health is come September. We want to but we have to play it by ear? We finished the record over a year ago, so we want to take a look at it and re-evaluate and make sure it is what we want to put out there and that we are still happy with it. I don?t think we will change it up too much.?

It?s a pretty tough year for the Beastie Boys, considering that Adam ?MCA? Yauch was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer, so the band had to push back the release of ?The Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1? and cancel their summer tour. However, the boys aren?t going to let their fans down as they have digitally re-released their 1998 album ?Hello Nasty? with loads of extras attached, including 21 bonus tracks of ?rarities and skits? from the Beasties. But if you?re willing to wait until October 30th, the physical re-release of the album will also include a limited edition 4-album vinyl release (only 1,500 copies total) that includes the digital download as well as an ?8 panel gatefold package, lenticular cover, and hardcover ?coffee table book? case.?
