Music fans across the globe are mourning the loss of hip hop legend and Beastie Boys founding member Adam "MCA" Yauch.

MCA was one of the dopest MCs in the history of rap music, and was influential in making the genre the worldwide musical force that it is today.

It's not only his musical contributions that garnered him so much respect, but Yauch's passionate support of the fight for freedom of Tibetans also made him legendary.

You will be missed.
