Another album from that same year which showed the commercial viability of hiphop acts was ''Music/RaisingHell'' (1986) by Music/RunDMC, which also became an over-nite sensation. But ''Licensed to Ill'' was especially notable because all members were [[TokenWhite white middle-class]] boys of Jewish descent, who nevertheless managed to overcome prejudices and got acclaim and respect from within the Hip-Hop community itself. Much had to do with the fact that the Beastie Boys showed off great rapping skills, clever {{sampling}} and an overall creative and fun party atmosphere, exemplified by the hits "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)" and "No Sleep Till Brooklyn".
The Beasties themselves, however, would endure a CreatorBacklash about this album. They felt they were too much pigeonholed as mindless ''party music'' and their lyrics on this album were a bit too puberal. Also, their SignatureSong "Fight for Your Right (To Party)" was actually meant as {{Irony}}, but [[MisaimedFandom most fans didn't get the joke]]. As a result ''Licensed to Ill'' became an OldShame to them and their followup would be the more mature NewSoundAlbum ''Music/PaulsBoutique'' (1989). Nevertheless, ''Licensed to Ill'' is still a classic and regarded as a cornerstone in the history of hip-hop and pop music in general.
