To me, “Ill Communication” celebrates the power of individuality and the pursuit of personal growth. It encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness and go against the grain. The Beastie Boys’ boldness and self-assurance serve as a reminder to stay true to oneself and follow one’s passions.

The stand-in “Tough Guy” is like Laimbeer and Shaq and “dribbl[es] like the Biz,” which “can be bad for your health”; o...
