Lunch Break Video: Coldplay's Tribute to Beastie Boys' MCA

News of the death of Adam "MCA" Yauch has been as pervasive as the music the Beastie Boy helped create.

As a member of the Beasties, Yauch was an instrumental force in the group whose music transcended cultural divides of race and age and helped define and introduce to mainstream America a new genre of music called rap.
