According to Michael Diamond, it turned out Thigs "couldn't spin, really, at all", which just made the line funnier.

''Licensed to Ill'' is the debut album recorded by American HipHop artists The Music/BeastieBoys. It was released through Creator/ColumbiaRecords (via the Def Jam label) on November 15, 1986.
At the time, it surprised many listeners by being the first HipHop record to break to the mainstream and even get into the ''Billboard'' charts. Another album from that same year which showed the commercial viability of hip-hop acts was ''Music/RaisingHell'' (1986) by Music/RunDMC, which also became an overnight sensation.
