This was the first cross-over between hard rock and rap. Completely new at the time. The song was originally done by Aerosmith, but RunDMC put their spin on it, and used the original artists to collaborate. Can't stress how groundbreaking this was in the 1980s.

Aerosmith released the original in 1975, then they did this collab in 1986.

This is Aerosmith's song, every word!! Run DMC is showing love

This song had a TON to do with making rap accepted in the mainstream. I was 8 years and went wild when I heard it as a kid.  Opened up a whole new world

Aerosmith was a big band in the 70s, but by the mid 80s they were fizzling out. Run DMC decided to sample one of their songs and Aerosmith joined in on the collaboration. This jump started Aerosmith back to the front and gave them new life that lasted for another 15 years of hits. I lived through this, lol.

Nephew 🖤. The shell Adidas were made popular by Run DMC.

I was there, a thousand years ago.. Bruh, everything was LIT in my generation! I wish you could experience what we did. We was DOPE!

Can we just talk about what a legendary dj Jam Master J was!? Rip 🙏🏽

Bro, this was the time. Everyone getting along and doing stuff together.

AEROSMITH

Run DMC
Kings of Hip Hop  👑

I was an Army Brat living in Germany when this came out. All the American kids wore Adidas and "Thicks" (The thick shoe laces Run DMC wore). When Iran threaten American forces in Berlin we had to stop wearing anything that made us look American. Scary time, but still...You took me back to one of the best times of my life!

Run DMC saved Aerosmith careers

Scarves on the mic stand is Steven Tyler’s ( singer) signature.

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith wrote this song after seeing the comedic movie Young Frankenstein. Igor famously said to Dr. Frankenstein.., “walk this way”.

This is one of the best Rock / Rap collaborations ever!

This was how hip hop was brought to mainstream.  This was the first crossover video on Mtv

Look up Steven Tyler on Google, at 77 he's still got that rocker swag! This was a generation changing song. Love it!

Run DMC has a song called “My Adidas”!!!

Shell-toe Adidas with no laces was how it was done

You are doing such a great job and you are working hard I see several videos a day. Don't burn yourself out! Keep smiling you got this!❤
