"Get It Together" is a song by American hip-hop group the Beastie Boys, released as the second single from their fourth studio album, Ill Communication. The album version of the song features rapper Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, but not the single version.
"Get It Together" is a hip-hop song containing elements of funk, boom bap, soul-jazz. [1] The song contains vocal samples from the song "Headless Heroes" by Eugene McDaniels, and heavily samples a loop from " Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" by the Moog Machine, from the album Switched-On Rock. "Get It Together" also appears on two group's compilation albums The Sounds of Science and Beastie Boys Music. [2]

The finished track, 'Get It Together,' managed to mirror, in subtle ways, some of Tribe's stripped-down hip hop, with plenty of low-end and touches of funk, boom-bap, and out-there something.
'Get It Together' samples ' Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In' by the Moog Machine, 'Headless Heroes' by Eugene McDaniels, ' Escape-ism' by James Brown, 'Four Play' by Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns and 'A One Two' by Biz Markie to create a distinct, misty blend of soul-jazz and funk-infused hip-hop that can be now considered quintessentially Beastie Boys.
