The Beastie Boys also published Grand Royal Magazine , which ran for six issues between 1993 and 1997, the first issue featuring a cover story on Bruce Lee , artwork by George Clinton , and interviews with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and A Tribe Called Quest ‘s MC Q-Tip . The 1995 issue of the magazine contained a piece on the mullet . The Oxford English Dictionary cites this as the first published use of the term, along with the lyrics from the band’s 1994 song, “Mullet Head”. That term was not heard in the 1980s, even though that decade has retroactively been hailed as the mullet’s peak in popularity. The OED says that the term was “apparently coined, and certainly popularized, by US hip-hop group Beastie Boys”.
