This collaboration also helped with Aerosmith's comeback. Aerosmith were in bad shape from drugs, etc. This collaboration in 1986 brought Aerosmith back into the picture and to a new generation, including myself, thru MTV. Then a year later in 1987, Aerosmith released their comeback album Permanent Vacation, which put them back on top.
It benefited BOTH groups.
MTV was a groundbreaking "app" back in the day. Kiddos did not have noses in phones/tablets 24/7. It was super fucking exciting to plan your night around "Headbangers Ball" , or, record it on vhs for later perusal. I was so spoiled back then with technology.
Yessss
This song didn't just break, but obliterated barriers
It did but back in 1975.
@@module79l28 but it wasn't released in 1975
@@kings6143 - No? It's the 4th song on side A of the Toys In The Attic album, released in April 8, 1975. Look it up.
@@module79l28 ok,my bad
@@module79l28 but this particular version was released in 1986,that's what I ment.
If I remember the story right on this (and it's directly from DMC), Jam Master Jay had come into the studio with this sample, but they all found it hard to put together lyrics for it on their own. Their producer (Rick Rubin) looked at them and asked if they knew what this was, which they all replied no. This was Aerosmith's original song from Toys in the Attic in 1976, which Rubin pulled it out and played it for them. Then he told the group that they should forget coming up with something and just remake this song, since it did have a rapper's flow to it. Then he got the idea of how cool it would be to bring in Aerosmith and make it a full on collab. Aerosmith came in, and realized that they had to up their game because Run DMC's energy was off the charts, and they were in the dumps from drugs. This brought Aerosmith back, and you see the result, as it brought rock to black people, and rap to white people which eliminated that huge taboo back then.
Honestly, I don’t know why it was considered taboo for blacks to be in the Rock scene. They literally invented Rock n’ Roll.
@@darkscorpion-donzaloog im pretty sure the taboo in question is white people in rap
More rappers should do some old rock. This is one of my favorites
This is my first memory of a genre mash up. This is how I discovered Run DMC and I went out and bought my first rap album. I was already an Aerosmith fan. I became a rap fan because of this song.
And then NWA stole my heart. And I still listen to metal and rap to this day.
And I'm a 50 year old white woman. 😉
Saw an interview with Tyler talking about how nervous they were to do this. Obviously they made the right decision. I remember seeing this video for the first time it was mind blowing at the time. ❤️
What an amazing song, always in the playlist. Never gets old. Two legends of music collide 🤟🤟🤟
This song was groundbreaking when it came out! Mixing rock and rap had never been done before! It was great too because Steven Tyler is one of the most laid back, nicest, coolest celebrities ever! He’s nice to every fan, never turns down autographs or selfies with fans so I can imagine that he loved the opportunity to do a collab like this!
I agree, in 1975 no one was doing anything even close.
Well Run DMC already mixed the two with original rock riffs in Rock Box and King Of Rock. But this was def the first collab between two established acts from each genre.
First ever rap/rock collaboration. So glad you guys watched/reacted to this video!
This song essentially paved the way for Nu-Metal in the 90's along with Anthrax's hip hop colab as well
Exactly
Here come 150 comments telling y’all to do Bring the Noise 😩😆
Indeed right
@@mattboselli1099 they need to post and pin a comment saying WE ALREADY DID ‘BRING THE NOISE’. ALREADY. DID. IT. 😆😩
🤣🤣🤣
First main stream rock /rap song to hit pop charts. Life changing for most of us who grew up in the 80's.
This song shows how close rock and hip-hop really are and what a fantastic collaboration both can make no matter what they say.
Bring the noise, Public Enemy and Anthrax must listen. Another killer crossover
Yep. Did it. czcams.com/video/MXcJ0cNJmHo/video.html
That's why they did it
czcams.com/video/MXcJ0cNJmHo/video.html
The story is that DJs (using records spinning on turn tables) had been using the instrumental parts of Walk This Way to create extended beats to rap over, and that inspired the idea of this collaboration.
The imagery of Aerosmith breaking through the wall and then of Run DMC literally ripping through the barrier, is all symbolic of this collaboration bringing down the boundaries between hip-hop and rock.
You should check out some of the stuff that DMC did with Generation Kill a few years back
One of my all time favorites. Knew every word at like 12 😂
Nothing wrong with a 12 year old singing “you ain’t seen nothin till you’re down on a muffin” 😆 (yeah I was one of those kids too!)
@@ShanLH5 bahaha!! Lol
RUN DMC was awesome, when this song came out I bought the album on cassette and played it endlessly in my car, loved most of the tracks on that tape.
I think this was the first rap-rock fusion. When this came out I think it blew people's musical minds 😊
CLASSIC!! Groundbreaking song as well
I think this could be classified as a song that continued or even started a movement, this is just epic
I remember this back in the day. The cross-over benefited BOTH groups immensely.
If I recall correctly, neither Aerosmith nor Run DMC had intended to break barriers. It was just about “making good music.”
Morning! Omg!! I remember watching this on MTV! This song helped break barriers! Such a Kool video! Loved watching y'all react to the music video! Great choice guys!🤓❤️
Anthrax and Public Enemy, Bring The Noise, was the first rap metal collaboration. They are the fun ones of the big four 🤘
Actually this was technically, the first one! Recorded late 1985 for an 86 release. Bring the noise was in 87, if I remember right?
@@CybermanBill Might be referring to Aerosmith being more a hard/blues rock than metal.
@@DamnedEyez yeah, that's what I meant. Because rap metal got big.
@@CybermanBill Areosmith is rock, not metal.
Was asking this question who was 1st. So i thought rightly. Public v Anthrax
This song is classic, legendary, say what you want. Amazing to this day. Blending hip hop with rock. Genius. And to have Run DMC & Aerosmith collab!? Absolute genius. Grew up with this, but never gets old
I was a teenager when this came out and there was more crossover in those fan bases than you might think. As a white Scottish metalhead kid I certainly was not the target market for hip hop but I loved it from the start and so did most of my metalhead friends. This, Beastie Boys and Anthrax and Public Enemy were the best examples.
I was about 14 when this came out. I bought both albums (Permanent Vacation and Raising Hell) and loved both of them. As I got older my tastes in music changed further but what I like about growing up in the 80s was that we were listening to so many different kinds of music. If it was good then we just cranked it up. I miss the times when bands weren't forced into defined genres.
You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, it played a huge part of making Rap mainstream.
Absolutely love this song!! Little fun fact run dmc could only afford steven tyler(singer) and joe perry(guitarist) from the band so the other musicians in the vid r randos
i listened to this song over and over after school every day for like a year. I had the video recorded on VHS it was awesome. I wanted to buy Adidas shoes.
Iconic Song. Definitive a landmark in music history.
I realy recommend listening to MDB DIRTY WHITE SNEEKERS. You definitiv will not regrett it.
Much love from Germany. ✌🏼🇩🇪
The " Walk This Way " lyric came from Aersonsmith having difficulty finding lyrics for a particular chorus. while recording " Toys In The Attic "
They went to see " Young Frankenstein " ( Mel Brooks Ckassic) and Igor when said " Walk This Way". Tyler said " That's it"!!
The songs that I remember from Run DMc:
It's Tricky, It's Like That, You Be Illin' and You Talk to Much
I remember when this debuted on MTV - revitalized Aerosmith's career.
I remember this coming out and it was totally revolutionary. Fusing hip hop and rock hadn't even been thought about before this collaboration of two GREAT artists. Nobody would have ever thought it could work, but it worked like pure magic. Still a great track to this day.
Yep, this collaboration brought Rap to "the mainstream", and brought Aerosmith back into the world. 🤘😎
One of the funnest compilations ever. Also you need to watch their live performance at the MTV Awards.
If you think this is great, check out Anthrax with Public Enemy "Bring the Noise" !!!
They did czcams.com/video/MXcJ0cNJmHo/video.html
You mean this one?

Run DMC is all time classic. Them and the Beastie Boys were the first 2 bands my bro and I fell in love with in the 80s. Now lets do Collapse boys. No more waiting. Por favor...😊
Aerosmith and Run DMC did a great collab on this song. Steven Tyler was pretty clever in the way he wrote the original song lyrics, so this song is easily misinterpreted, but it's definitely about a boy and girl and some fun experiences.
Hell yes this song helped make hip hop more accessible to different demographics! Aerosmith released Walk This Way in 1975. Run DMC released their version of this song feat. Aerosmith in 1986. MTV was HUGE at that time and many teenagers were watching it all the time! This song and video introduced thousands of middle class white kids, who only listened to Rock music, to Hip Hop/Rap for the very first time. I was one of those kids! I’ve loved the song ever since. I don’t know much about Run DMC, but I do know they were pioneers in music history period. 🤘🏼🔥
What they both had was MTV! It was the perfect song and video for that moment in time. Videos were the pinnacle of pop culture.
I am an old school lady that loves Aerosmith. This is my favorite song and vid because of this collaboration!
Morning guys. Yeah this song I remember from growing up in the 80s. It was such a huge tune because of the melding of rock and rap. Lots of acts followed and we’re inspired by this collaboration. But this is the original. Anthrax also did bring the noise with Public Enemy soon after. Keep it up guys! Volbeat-Shotgun Blues, you won’t be disappointed!
Anthrax & Public Enemy - Bring the Noise 1991
They did 😊 czcams.com/video/MXcJ0cNJmHo/video.html
Do your homework
czcams.com/video/MXcJ0cNJmHo/video.html
One of the"Big 4" is Anthrax. Nobody reacts to them for some reason. The only one I've really seen is them with Public Enemy" doing Bring the noise.
🤘🤩🤘 always favourite of mine ♥
Public enemy &Anthrax next PLEASE

Not a massive fan of Aerosmith or Run DMC but love this song. Smashed barriers and the video is great.
This first rap/rock collab that put RUN-DMC on the map and the great comeback of Aerosmith.
Been binge watching reactions to this video, and it never gets old 😂
🎶🎸🎧🎸🎶 This was a turning point for Aerosmith, too. Steven was finally sober, so this was their comeback. Thanks for the old school jam to start the day. P.L.U.R.R. from ATX!
I can not tell you how HUGE this was back then. It was unheard of. It introduced millions of kids to rap/ hip hop. No exaggeration
One of the greatest collaborations of alllll time!!!
Aerosmith had been on a downward spiral for the latter half of the 70s, struggling with addictions and a shrinking rock and roll market. Run DMC reinvigorated Aerosmith and put them back on the map despite the rock band's belief that nothing would come of their collaboration.
Clutch - Escape From The Prison Planet !!
Is this not a top ten video of all time!?!
My god!! It’s just so good.
I could watch it over & over again.
in 2002 Aerosmith toured with Run DMC and Kid Rock and they closed the Aerosmith set with this song every night. It was DOPE.
This was one of the first collaborations between hip hop and rock. It drew massive attention to how much potential there is between hip hop and rock/ metal. Korn youll notice has HUGE hip hop influence. When this was made it broke the mould and it introduced something new.
And yeah man, Steven Tyler has a strong jaw on him to say the least haha :')
You guys are exactly right. This song propelled hip hop into the mainstream and in turn, the Beastie Boys brought hip hop to the suburbs. This was a revolutionary period for hip hop and I was blessed to live through it at ten years old with my first generation Walkman 😂
I was singing along to this for years before I realised what the lyrics were 🤣🤣🤣 . Love the filthy lyrics and this song was fire...
Yes hes a polarizing figure now, but what woke me up musically as a kid was kid rock going on stage with rundmc and aerosmith vma 1999 and did a part of this song.
It made everyone realize that both camps really had the same agenda. It brought so many people together. I remember the first time I heard this and I just freaking loved it! Stil do. Great reaction!!
I remember first seeing this video, my parents stopped what they were doing in the background and came and watched it. It was awesome!
Demographic smashup!~ Love this version of this song. Two groups of masters of their own genre and they kill it together!! Maybe a new genre?
I was in 10th grade when this song came out. Trust me, RUN DMC was the FIRST rap group to cross over into complete mainstream! All small white country towns found RUN DMC with this song!
Best collaboration ever
THE BEST COLLAB IN MUSIC HISTORY
As someone who used to work for a studio recording group, (they rented studio recording space), there were studios that close. They were super soundproofed, you couldn't hear what was being recorded in the next studio, but they were that close.
Amazing song and amazing reaction guys
Yeah I love it too! I knew you would too. Great collaboration!💖💖💖
Oddly enough I was a small white kid from West Virginia and when this came out, I loved Run DMC but I didn't know who Aerosmith was. This song made me love DMC more and made me an Aerosmith fan for life.
Hey thanx! What a super fun reaction this is!
Man, this used to be blasting out of every freaking car on the strip!
Seriously, great one! 💋🎶✌️
There needs to be more of this, it sounds fantastic
Smokey, my man, this video is a stellar production, IN ANY TIME EVER. It brought Rock and Rap together in a way no one had thought of before. And it made both groups bigger than they were. Rick Rubin deserves A TON of credit for pulling it off. I first saw Aerosmith in 1975, right after Toys In The Attic was released, and of course they played "Walk This Way" at the show, it was the first single off the album they played on the radio. At the time I lived near Boston, so we got the stuff first. Tyler's delivery was so unique, at the time, it caught everyone's ears. Some liked it some didn't. I did. Saw Aerosmith about ten more times, always a great show. Anything from their first four albums is worth a listen. For Run-DMC, I'd go with "The Kings Of Rock".
I was in 4th grade when this came out....it was the only thing heard playing for a loooong time LOL...definitely opened up a whole new category with the mix of music genres
This was my intro to Hip Hop back in late 80's after this song i looked up more about Run-Dmc and also found another great act "the beasty boys".
So glad you guys enjoyed this one. I sure did. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Love you guys! You are so entertaining!
🙏🙏🙏
@@Hollywood6IX Keep it up! Also Smokey is great at trivia!
Thanks for the memories.
This is the song that began rap being played on MTV. There were only two or three black artists even being played on there. They were the hosts of Yo MTV Raps! It introduced ALOT of people to the genre.
I was in basic training in 86 when I first saw this, loved it!
Well it appears that yall have figured out that the best music was in the 60's, 70's & 80's
I'm happy i was there for all of it !!!!
Yall keep Rockin!!!!!!!!
This has been & still is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This video makes me laugh every time I see it. I love it.
Oh I so remember when this came out, it was awesome!!
this video was amazing
Love when Joe Perry sticks his head in there and looks around
There's a video/live performance out there, that has Aerosmith, Run DMC AND Kid Rock performing the song. I believe it was when Run DMC got inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Always loved this song and the vid. Have seen Aerosmith about 8 times back in the day. They were so much fun. Loved Run DMC too.
You fellas need to watch The Getdown on Netflix
NOSTALGY MTV 80.......
Listening to u guys for 6 minutes straight made my IQ drop. Thanks. If I watch a few more times I'm sure I'll get disability. TYSVM REALLY!
To me this was a perfect rock and rap collaboration
Run DMC had to be talked into the collaboration. They were using the backbeat to scratch over, they didn't really care for the song, let alone sing it with Aerosmith. It was the two record companies that got Run DMC and Aerosmith together.
When I was a kid, I knew Run DMC- I had never heard of Aerosmith. And when this video came out, I thought the rock band was a fake band for the video. LOL
Fast forward , and now I can honestly say that Aerosmith in concert is an unforgettably entertaining experience.
The Slow dignity needs to delve into
70's. A- SMITH
1) Seasons of Wither
2 ) Adams Apple
3) Last Child
4) Kings & Queens
I'm pretty sure that Russell Simmons helped Run DMC get signed to Profile prior to hooking up with Rick Rubins to form Def Jam.
And there were originally four elements to hip hop: MCing, DJing, breaking and graffiti. Beatboxing was later added as a fifth element, and then people just wanted to add every last aspect of hip hop as an element...
The genius is the one who said combine the two - since AEROSMITH's career at that time was dead and buried. This single resurrected their career.
History being made💯❤
