For the latest edition of Rookie Mag’s “Ask a Grown Man” series, Adam Horovitz (aka Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys) sat down for the Q&A session in which artist’s sit down to answer relationship and love questions from the magazine’s teenage readership.

Questions range from the “The boy I like wants to kiss me, and I want to kiss him, but should I?”. Another example is when ‘Dill’ from Chattanooga, TN asks “My boyfriend and I have been hanging out for awhile now, and he recently asked me out, but I don’t want to date him anymore. How should I go about telling him?” The advice Ad-Rock gives to all of the questions and inquiries is honest and pretty legit when you consider they are coming from the man behind lyrics such as “Man, living at home is such a drag….ya mom threw away your best porno mag!“

Horovitz can also be seen on screen in the Noah Baumbach film While We’re Young, which stars Ben Stiller and features a soundtrack scored by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.

 

Other Q&A’s from the “Ask a Grown Man” series have featured Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich (Radiohead/Atoms for Peace) and Run the Jewels. Yorke’s facial expressions to some of the questions asked are priceless. Check it out below:
