MCA

On September 8, 1994, At the MTV Video Music Awards, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch (MCA), in character as "Nathanial Hornblower," rushed the stage when R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" beats "Sabotage" for Best Direction. It's the first such intrusion at the VMAs. Hornblower is a character Yauch created - he claims it's his uncle. He's Swiss, speaks with a heavy accent, and wears lederhosen. When he takes to the podium before Michael Stipe can get there, he says: "I'm from Switzerland, and since I was a small boy, I had dreamed that Spike would win this. Now this has happened, and I want to tell everyone this is a farce, and I had the ideas for Star Wars and everything." "Spike" is Spike Jonze, who directed the video.  Security ushers him away, but there are no hard feelings. Four years later, the Beastie Boys got the Video Vanguard award.

Le 8 septembre 1994, aux MTV Video Music Awards, le Beastie Boy Adam Yauch (MCA), dans le rôle de "Nathanial Hornblower", s'est précipité sur scène lorsque "Everybody Hurts" de R.E.M. a battu "Sabotage" pour la meilleure réalisation. C'est la première intrusion de ce type durant les VMA. Hornblower est un personnage créé par Yauch - il prétend que c'est son oncle. Il est suisse, parle avec un fort accent et porte des collants. Lorsqu'il monte sur le podium avant que Michael Stipe ne puisse y arriver, il déclare : "Je viens de Suisse, et depuis que j'étais un petit garçon, j'avais rêvé que Spike gagnerait cela. Maintenant, c'est arrivé, et je veux dire tout le monde, c'est une farce, et j'avais des idées pour Star Wars et tout." "Spike" est Spike Jonze, qui a réalisé la vidéo. La sécurité le chasse, mais il n'y a pas de rancune. Quatre ans plus tard, les Beastie Boys ont reçu le prix Video Vanguard.

On August 26, 2023, Big Daddy Kane headlined a Hip Hop 50 event at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London. During the show, Kamanchi Sly from British group Hijack came on stage wearing a mask and simply stood in front of the cheering audience. Kane tolerated the interruption for a few minutes but ended up stopping the music to confront the agitator. Hijack was scheduled to perform after Big Daddy Kane. This was considered disrespectful by Hijack, which is why Sly invaded the stage. Ice-T signed  Hijack to his own Rhyme Syndicate label, they recorded and released the single "The Badman is Robbin'" (Rhyme Syndicate, 1989). The track reached number 56 on the UK Singles Chart.
