Mfarhanonline Social Media News: The Beastie Boys have made a streamed version of their new album available on their website as a so-called “hostile and retaliatory measure with great hubris” to an Internet leak. The Beasties announced the leak Monday: “Good people, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the ‘clean’ version of our new album, The Hot Sauce Committee pt 2 has leaked,” the site explains. “So as a hostile and retaliatory measure with great hubris we are making the full explicit aka filthy dirty nasty version available for streaming on our site. We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony.” The site doesn’t offer any further explanation, though bootlegged versions of the album seem to be fairly abundant . Streaming the album is the latest marketing push for the band, which has gone all out to promote its eighth studio album. The buildup so far has included a star-studded, 30-minute video called Fight for Your Right — Revisited , which features Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Danny McBride, Elijah Wood, Will Ferrell and Susan Sarandon, among others, on Hulu, though a shorter version exists on YouTube. The album is set for release May 3. Image courtesy of Flickr, goro_memo .
