The Beach Boys Made a Rap Song… And That’s Not the Worst Part

1 tim 11 min•12 maj 2026

The Beach Boys undoubtedly changed pop music forever. But they also cut an album so strange that it's basically been erased from music history.

In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott & Blake take a look at Summer in Paradise, the Beach Boys' bizarre attempt at reclaiming their throne with a "modern" summer soundtrack.

With Brian Wilson out of the picture, the Mike Love-led Beach Boys wanted to see if they could get lightning to strike twice after the unlikely success of "Kokomo."

The result was a fully digital, Pro Tools-powered sound experiment packed with synthetic everything, recycled ideas, and... a Beach Boys rap??

Here's how a band once at the forefront of pop innovation chased its own past to the tune of album so bad it hurts.
