57/100 Video - "Walk This Way" - Run DMC feat. Aerosmith (1986)


"Walk This Way" by Run DMC featuring Aerosmith is one of music's most iconic videos.

After initially clashing, the rap and rock artists merge into one as the song progresses.

This bridge is shown in the video as the two groups tear down a physical barrier that separates them, while during the latter half the rappers and rockers play together on the same stage.

The track was one of the earlier rap rock crossovers that influenced the explosion of the genre during mid-90s around tens years later, with groups like Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit fusing the two styles with great commercial success.
