当他们于1993年在洛杉矶首次见面时，Beastie Boys乐队和Spike Jonze分别是各自领域——东海岸嘻哈和MTV的黄金时代——的后起之秀。很快，这三位说唱歌手和这位年轻的电影制片人之间建立了联系。25年后，这本书首次收集了Spike Jonze与Beastie Boys合作期间他自己拍摄的两百多张照片。

本书由Jonze编辑和撰写后记，前言由霍洛维茨（Horovitz）执笔，它展示了只有亲密的朋友才能看到的一代嘻哈音乐人最真实的色彩。

When they met for the first time in Los Angeles in 1993, the Beastie Boys and Spike Jonze were rising stars of their respective fields - the golden ages of both east coast hip hop and MTV. Immediately a connection formed between the three MCs and the young filmmaker, which has lasted throughout their careers. Twenty-five years later, this book collects for the first time more than two hundred of Spike Jonze's personal photographs of his time spent with the Beastie Boys.

Edited and with an afterword by Jonze, and including a foreword by Horovitz, this book shows the greatest act of the hip hop generation in their truest colours as only a close friend could see them. From going on stage at Lollapalooza to writing together at Mike D's apartment; getting into character for a video to dressing up as old men to hit the basketball court; recording an album in the studio in Los Angeles to goofing around in barber shops. From the music video to Sabotage to the cover of the Sounds of Science album, Spike Jonze is responsible for some of the most iconic images of the band ever made - but here, the emphasis is on the candid, the unexpected, and the real.
