Over the weekend, four men put together a tribute to Adam "MCA" Yauch that was the perfect homage to the late Beastie Boy, combining his Buddhist beliefs with breakdancing. The dancers — identified by The Boston Globe as Jaehyuk Choi, Stephen Cho, Christopher Groelle, and Bobby Selby — executed impressive moves to the Beastie Boys song "Ch-Check It Out," while wearing the dress of Buddhist monks. The performance took place in New York City during MCA Day, and was a fitting way to remember Yauch, who died May 4, 2012 after battling salivary gland cancer. --Catherine Garcia
