Twitter Says Farewell To Adam “MCA” Yauch

Earlier today, GlobalGrind broke the news that Adam “MCA” Yauch, a founding member of New York’s pioneering hip-hop group the Beastie Boys, had died of cancer at the age of 47.

While the loss of Yauch will be felt for decades to come, it’s no more evident just how big an impact the Beastie Boys and Yauch have had over their 25+ year career than by checking Twitter’s local and global trends.

He is survived by his wife and daughter.
