Marvin Alleyne Exactly. MCA doesn't need a Glee episode to remind people how good his songs were, the songs speak for themselves. Beasties tracks are timeless. The comment by nonono1987 was the most bizarre suggestion I've ever seen.

Derick Bennett I'd rather not... some things Glee should just NOT touch...

nonono1987 Why would you even want that? Glee is for total plebs.

nonono1987 Yeah coz I definitely want to see the cast of Glee try and rap their way through Sure Shot and break out their AWESOME harmonies for a rendition of Brass Monkey.
Um.
