Washington Post staff writer Geoff Edgers takes a deep dive into the story behind ''Walk This Way'', Aerosmith and Run-DMC''s legendary, groundbreaking mashup that forever changed music.
In the early 1980s hip hop''s reach was limited, largely ignored by mainstream radio deejays and the rock-obsessed MTV network. But in 1986, the music world was irrevocably changed when Run-DMC covered Aerosmith''s hit ''Walk This Way'' in the first rock-hip hop collaboration. Geoff Edgers sets the scene and tracks the paths of the main artists - Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Joseph ''Run'' Simmons, and Darryl ''DMC'' McDaniels - illustrating the long road to this revolutionary marriage of rock and hip hop. This music history is a must-read for fans of hip hop, rock, and everything in between.
