Well, that I can argue. 90% of Beastie Boys songs are straight hip-hop. No live instruments. Three MCs and one DJ.

Now, drawing a line between RATM and The Roots? The Roots *intend* to be a live-band version of hip-hop; they do their best in almost all cases to make straight traditional hip-hop with a live band. RATM has always been their own sort of beast with a very heavy rap influence.
