Run-D.M.C. took rap into the Top Ten when they collaborated with Aerosmith on a rap remake of that group’s “Walk This Way.” After that single and video conquered radio and MTV, the racial and stylistic barriers between rock and rap were never again quite so pronounced. With “Walk This Way,” Run-D.M.C. actually found themselves charting higher on the pop chart (#4) than the R&B chart (#8). Their Together Forever Tour with the Beastie Boys furthered the union between black and white audiences. Read more about Run-D.M.C. here.
