In 2009, MCA announced he was being treated for a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node (below). He has since undergone surgery and radiation therapy.

So far, it's not clear if the death is related to the rapper's battle with cancer.

Russell Simmons' website GlobalGrind.com first reported the death. We have spoken to people independently connected to the rapper who also say he is dead.

Yauch co-founded Beastie Boys in 1979 with Mike D, Mix Master Mike, and Ad Roc. The group has won multiple Grammys and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.

Yauch became a vegan at the recommendation of his Tibetan doctors.

Yauch is survived by his wife and daughter. He was 47.

    one time at band practice my friend and i started quoting fight for your right at each other which quickly turned into just yelling "kick it" which evolved to include actually kicking things and i tried to spartan kick him in the chest and instead i cracked him in the face and knocked him out

    song holds a special place in my heart after that

    This is really sad news, but the guy left a huge body of work and did a ton of positive things with the money he made from his career. I'm glad I got to see them live on their Five Boroughs tour, it was one of the best live shows I'd ever seen.

    I remember right after hello nasty came out, I think I was like 13 or 14 maybe, I had that album on non-stop repeat on my crappy little CD player for months. I played the hell out of Gex: Enter the Gecko while listening to it.

    honestly, they never really put out a really bad album. That's one of the things I respect the hell out of - their work was incredibly consistent, even though it was frequently exploring new variations on their signature sound or going in different directions.

    Rough week for my friend from San Diego who is also a huge Beastie Boys fan.

    I hadn't really LOVED much of their music lately (haven't listened to the last album) but they were one of the best back in the day, no doubt. Sabotage is the best fucking song.

    Sad news.

    I will also confirm that Sabotage is the greatest song of all time.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR66VNY6gbk

    This was the first Beastie Boys song I heard and had no regrets when I bought Hello Nasty just to blare Intergalactic for weeks.

    I've always wondered why you'd never see MCA in Beastie Boy cameos and now I know why.

    RIP
