Throughout their iconic careers, the Beastie Boys rapped about, among countless other things, skateboarding. The hip-hop pioneers helped introduce skateboarding culture to people around the world, so it’s no surprise that one of their fans is skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. Beastie Boys’ Michael “Mike D” Diamond sat down with Hawk for an exclusive interview on Faction Talk about the group’s drug use, Christian Slater’s cult skateboarding movie, and more.
