    " Walk This Way' " was originally just an Aerosmith song in the 70s when it was initially released. This later collaboration with Run DMC revolutionised the music industry, bringing two cultures and styles of music together. Thanks again for this wonderful reaction to my suggestion!!!🙂

    Yes, the song here is basically exactly as the original from early 70s Aerosmith. Just added the scratching and the rapping style, but words all original Aerosmith and instrumental all original. Run DMC had been sampling parts of it for awhile so eventually the two groups came together for this. Very funky song from Aerosmith. You should check out the original!

    The genius thing about this collaboration is the fact that when Hip Hop was just starting off in The Bronx in the late 70's, it was done at Block Parties where an MC would use percussive beats of popular songs and fade between them and eventually this turned into scratching. Grandmaster Flash was one of the pioneers of this and he said that he started off using Aerosmith records to scratch with.

    The real hero of this convergence of two styles is Producer Rick Rubin, who got the two groups together in the studio, and created this epic moment. Aerosmith had gone through a rough stretch for about five years, and Run DMC had been on the upswing, and then this happened. Good karma for both groups, and for the music industry as a whole. BTW, Aerosmith just announced their"Final" tour a couple of days ago, after 50 years on the road. I first saw them right after this album, "Toys In The Attic" was released, and a bunch of times since. Great energy.

    This was released in 1986, in the same year Beastie Boys released their debut album "Licence to ill". On it, 2 of their most famous songs ever: "No sleep till Brooklyn" and "Fight for your right (to party)", which where also crossovers between rock and hip hop. In 1990 Public Enemy and Anthrax released "Bring the noise", a crossover-version of the PE song. And in he 90s a whole new genre was born which was a mix of Metal music and Hip Hop elements: Nu Metal, with bands like Papa Roach and Linkin Park. So yes, this collab was really ground breaking and influential.

I was 4 at the time, and growing up, I listened to both Rap and Rock in my years to 18, and never understood why so many people who liked ONE genre wouldn't even give the other a chance. Plus, this song was the first Rap song played on Rock stations at the time... which was a HUGE deal... and also, some would say, Revived Aerosmith's Carrier, and we see how much amazing music they did after this!

    Run DMC was already doing rock/rap songs before this. Two albums before this. It was the actual collaboration and the VIDEO that took it to the next level. RUN DMC's star shot way up and AEROSMITH came back from the dead and had whole revival thanks to this song (Their song incidentally). I mean, it's basically a rap song as is - in it's original form. WIN/WIN for both groups. I was always surprised they never got back together to do another one. The whole "Raising Hell" album is great. Integral part of my high-school soundtrack. And I CAN confirm ... lots of rockers and even alt-rockers were into it at the time. Pretty cool.

    I've been listening to Aerosmith since high school back in early seventies. They ruled the airwaves for years. The eighties came along and drugs, personalities and infighting kinda set them back. Their album sales weren't that great, although that had a few hits, to keep their label happy. So a stint in rehab and a genius idea spawned this. They had a second life into the nineties with a number of hits and stilk tour to this day.

    I know I’m late to this reaction - forgive me, I just found your channel - but you’re right, this was iconic at the time. It was the first time a rock band & a hip-hop group had collaborated, and the fact that it was *Aerosmith* doing it really made a lot of (mostly white) ppl sit up & take notice. I love the story this music video tells, too: Aerosmith being too loud for Run-DMC to record their own music, so Run-DMC steals the song from them. And then takes over their concert like, “this song is ours now.” And Aerosmith let them have it. Another high-water mark in rock x hip-hop was when Anthrax (a thrash metal band) teamed up with Public Enemy to cover Public Enemy’s “Bring The Noise,” and arguably it was the better version of the song. Loving your reaction style. The little messages at the bottom of the screen while you’re grooving are a great choice.

    "Walk this way" was originally a hit single by Aerosmith in 1975 from their 3rd album 'Toys in the attic'... it became Aerosmith's first platinum+ selling record. The title came from watching the movie 'Young Frankenstein' one night... there was a line in the movie, "Walk this way..."👹 In 1986, Run DMC was a rap group coming up in the scene and working w/ Def Jam producer Rick Rubin... (the late DJ) Jam Master Jay had come across the record 'Toys in the attic' and sampled the opening beat to 'Walk this way' for a new track... Rubin heard the track and knew the Aerosmith record; he suggested that Run DMC cover 'Walk this way'... Now, none of the 3 members of Run DMC knew the song or Aerosmith's music... and when they read the lyrics, they refused. "HELL NO!" Still, Rick Rubin contacted Aerosmith about using the sample and asked them to meet w/ Run DMC... Now, Aerosmith in 1986 were a commercial failure at that point... the original band had split w/ their guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford between 1979 and 1981, and Aerosmith was literally touring clubs in 1983... They reunited the original Aerosmith for a 1984 tour and finally made some money. But the band's 1985 album 'Done with mirrors' was a flop, and Aerosmith desperately needed a hit single... plus, their managers decided that they needed to get the entire band clean from drug & alcohol abuse, because they were a mess... So, Steven Tyler (vocals) and Joe Perry (guitar) went to meet Run DMC in a studio... they saw the 3 guys hunched over a table and assumed that they were doing drugs... But when they got closer, they saw Run DMC eating McDonald's fast food 🤣🤣 Steven Tyler explained to Run DMC that 'Walk this way' was about his first sexual encounter in a threesome w/ 2 honeyz 😂That sold the group on covering the track... They became friends and also did the music video together. Run DMC's cover of 'Walk this way' became a huge hit in 1986, crossing over the rock and rap genres for the first time and gave Aerosmith MTV exposure for the first time ever... As a result, Run DMC had the biggest record of their career ('Raising hell') and Aerosmith's career was resurrected in 1987, when their next album 'Permanent vacation' sold 5x platinum in the US. In 2002, Run DMC did their final tour opening for Aerosmith... after the murder of Jam Master Jay that year, the group was over... Aerosmith has always credited Run DMC for giving back their popularity in the 80's after years of decline since the 70's.

    Aerosmith always were rather funky for a rock band, and Steven Tyler was kind of rapping the verses, in a sing-song kind of way, on the original recording. So Aerosmith would have been familiar to Run DMC, and this would have been a song they would borrow for a beat. But it was legendary producer Rick Rubin who persuaded them to do the full cover. It was also a huge comeback for Aerosmith, who at the time were deep in severe drug addictions. After this collaboration they got clean and became bigger than they ever were in the 70s. A feel good story all the way.

    Now try the collaboration between Anthrax and Public Enemy called Brin The Noise. It is a Public Enemy song originally, that Anthrax wanted to cover because they were fans.

    in the early 90's a movie came out called "Judgement Night". Not a bad movie, you can find it on youtube. What makes it special was the sound track. They got a bunch of the top rock bands and top rap groups of the time and put them together. This album is epic and can also be found on youtube.

    It's a great collab. But what you need to know about Run DMC is that they came out of the box years before this with heavy drums and rock guitars all on their own. Check out King of Rock and Rockbox. They really were innovative and they did change the game.

    The crazy thing is they didnt change any lyrics from the original and just changed the vibe to a rap song. back then you listened to either one or the other and years later Anthrax did it will public enemy which i never saw anyone react to yet 😁

    i remember one of the members of run dmc telling the story of how this came about and a lot of dj's in the 80's would play and mix the original at house parties and when their manager collabed with steve tyler he thought it was a joke at first and thought it would not mix well but in the end him and all the members knew they made history with this one song and blazed the trail for other artists to do it and i remember growing up when this song came out and we all knew the dance steps to it and i still know them till this day and steve taylor to this day says this is still one favorite collabes cause it brought one of their great songs to another audience in a new way

    They were pioneers and revolutionares. I doubt they were the first to combine Hip hop and Rock & Roll but they were the first to do it on a big stage and introduce that to the mainstream. Later on it became a lot more common to mix hip hop and rock, especially there was a lot rap & metal connection about a decade or two ago, but Aerosmith and Run DMC did it first and did it better.

    This wasn't the 1st time they mixed rock. With rap. RUN DMC did songs called rock box, and king of rock. This song was so popular it made MTV finally start playing rap Jams witch they were ignoring until this video came out.

    This is metal music mixed with hip hop/rap. Run DMC has their own 2 hit songs "It's Like That" and "It's Tricky." Just like 'Walk This Way" they are from the 80s and not the 90s, like your shirt says.
