@eatmoreporkporky4342

It was great in the beginning, I remember US getting out cable box and me just living on MTV, it was what it said on the tin- music videos.

Sadly those days are gone.

@sheilamiller6435

You are correct!

@goober8798

Correct! Aerosmith had kinda dropped off the map due to all kinds substance issues.. and other stuff...this came out and then they had a great opportunity to reviatlize their career and soon came our with "Permanant Vacation" leading witht he single "Dude Looks Like a Lady" and then "Rag Doll" and "Angel"...suddenly they wwre everywhere again and clean and sober. Don't think they relapsed. I can't believe I did that all from memory. I'm old. Time for my nap.

@RodCalidge

You are correct. Restarted Aerosmith for another 40 years

@TinyMaths

I never forget when this came out; we went absolutely NUTS... craziest thing I had ever heard up until then; my all time favourite collab of two very different genres. I was no stranger to the compelling beats and rhymes of Hip Hop; so in that way the tune was already great. But man, when I heard those guitars, and that type of primal scream singing voice from Steven Tyler, I was driven wild.... Yeah, I had likely heard the music genre through radio before that, I guess, but this really, really caught my attention. The whole collab was just sick on another level.

I have Run DMC and Aerosmith to thank for this intoduction to an entirely different kind of music; them and Public Enemy (they used Slayer's Angel of Death as a backing for their tune 'She Watches Channel Zero'...). These people really opened my ears.

Actually Run-DMC themselves pioneered Rap-Rock 2 years earlier with Rock Box and followed it up a year later with "King of Rock".

One of the reasons they were hesitant to do Walk this Way is that they felt like they'd be repeating themselves.

I wouldn't go as far as that. It was was the first to do it successfully.

For example the first track containing rap played on MTV was Blondie's Rapture, and although I like it, the best you can say about it is that it's odd & quirky. A novelty track basically.

But Walk This Way is seriously kickass, a combination of the best of the genres. It showed that Rap was something to be taken seriously

Joe Perry casually looking through the hole while playing the guitar is the best part

Yup! Rick Rubin is a genius. He's the last of the music producers that actually made the artists really rich.

@@chrisgreen177 I had no idea Rick Rubin was involved. That said, I'm not remotely surprised - the guy was MENSA-Level.

This combo of rock and hip hop is one of the coolest things ever done in music! Always loved Aerosmith. Not a big fan of hip hop, but DMC are some of the greatest and this one is so powerful

@@harvesteroftone5473

@smrkva5911

Matter of taste. For me, Anthrax didn't add to the original "Bring the noise" as much as Run DMC did to "Walk this way", so in terms of collaboration I'd say this one was done better.

@missyadams

what about P. Diddy & Limp Bizkit's All about the Benjamins and Jay-Z and Linkin Park's Encore/Numb ?

@fishburrito8328

Hands down one of if not the best collabs and music video to ever exist. Period.

There is a universal message here that what we have in common is greater than our differences. We are great together!

Do you mean baddest = it's shit
Or do you mean baddest = gangsta

@smcgilli34

All these years later, it is still amazing that this not only launched Run DMC, but resurrected Aerosmith. Truly remarkable.

@cjmillsnun

This didn't launch Run DMC. They had already released two successful albums.

@moniquenewman4889

This did not launch Absolutely Run Dmc was already on top! What it did for them was expose them to more fans. It ressureccted Aerosmith's career because now they're doing a song with the top people.
