The Beastie Boys debut studio album, Licensed to Ill, is cemented in Hip Hop history as the first rap LP to top the Billboard album chart. Released in November of 1986 by Columbia and Def Jam Records, produced by Rick Rubin, with its now iconic cover artwork created by Stephen Byram and David Gambakle a.k.a World B. Omes, Licensed to Ill has appeared on countless 'Best of' lists since chart-topping inception, including Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time," Pitchfork's "Top 100 Albums of the 1980s," The Source's "100 Best Rap Albums," and Vibe magazine's "100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century."
