Beastie Boys
"That's a British MC on there, MC Crayonz. In fact we think of that as our British song. We might be wrong." - Beastie Boys, referencing Adrock's British accent throughout the song, 2004

"...the Beasties flow into the harmonized rhymes of vintage hip-hop group Double Trouble. While DJ Mix Master Mike cuts up the song's extended rhythms, Ad-Rock rhymes, 'Versatile like All Temp-A-Cheer/If you wanna drink, call Mr. Belvedere/Run this rap game like a brigadier.'" - MTV News, 2004
"...a groove that sounds like the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil" - Michael D. Clark, Houston Chronicle, 2004
"Snappy rhymes and sonic thump combine in a winning display of Beastie economy, a formula the Boys fail to apply uniformly." - Edna Gundersen, USA Today, June 15, 2004
"...[a] toe-tapping singalong complete with Run DMC-like riff" - Nigel Gould, Belfast Telegraph, June 18, 2004
"...a throwback party jam with a fever for a cowbell, but as a redux of Double Trouble's 'At the Amphitheatre' over Chic's played out 'Good Times' beat, it's not really
happening" - Peter Relic, Cleveland Free Times, June 30, 2004
"...[Boroughs] still finds the group making clever use of beats and samples, like the Sugar Hill Gang's 1979 classic 'Rapper's Delight' on the old-school throwdown 'Triple Trouble'" - Chuck Arnold, People, July 12, 2004
