The Beastie Boys Revisited Feat. Ricky Powell (Video)

Back in 1986, The Beastie Boys would often show interviewers just how much they "fight for their right to party." MTV recently revealed one such moment that features Chapter 43's own Ricky Powell. The segment was recorded on December 31, 1986, at MTV's 6th annual "Rock 'N Roll New Year's Eve Ball."

Ricky played the main nerd in the "Fight For Your Right." Via MTV:

Specifically, the interviewer asks the Boys about casting "the geeky guys" for the video, which gives them the opportunity to introduce "the man who played the main nerd," their photographer-friend Ricky Powell (presumably right around the time "your girl got di--ed" by him.) And then, they pour beer on his head, too. But not before Powell curses on-air and then professes his love for "Black women with blonde hair."

Watch the video below. Gotta love the Rickster!
