Rick Rubin on How Walk This Way Brought Hip-Hop Into the Mainstream

[@matthewbittenbender9191]

But when I heard Bring the noise ond the Tony Hawk games as a teenager, even when this song was already more than 10 years old, it sparked my love for Punkrock & Metal also.

This is the song that got me into hip-hop also. I used to listen to rap a bit like Grandmaster Flash during the breakdancing era, around ‘83/84, but when Walk This Way came out I became a complete hip-hop head for the next five years. I started losing interest in hip-hop when it was all turning into gangster rap in the early 90’s and they were even trying to make begign rap acts like EPMD, De La Soul, MC Hammer, and others into gangster rappers. Fun fact: Run-DMC were never on Def Jam, they were on Profile Records or some other label, even though Run is Russell Simmons’ brother. Public Enemy was my favourite act on Def Jam, followed by LL Cool J. Another really good hip-hop label was Tommy Boy, they had been around since the breakdancing era and put out a lot of albums during that time also.

[@robertacosta6633]

Loud and Nervous records are others

[@punygreenman5956]

Wow that's kind of the opposite for me. I got into Hip Hop during the hey days of gangster rap and in the late 2000s around when 50 Cent lost to Kanye in their little sales numbers beef I lost interest in Hip Hop and moved towards Dubstep with the rise of Skrillex bringing that genre to the mainstream.

This guy is one of the bravest, innovate and just all around cool people in modern popular music. I've been listening to hip-hop since the mid 80s and haven't stopped, but the one thing I always wanted to ask him is how he morally dealt with how ALOT of samples are flat-out copies of older songs, with some flourishes. For example, Walk This Way. Aerosmith wrote the music from the ether, the cosmos that great songwriters can tap into and create something original. Run DMC added a new dimension to the song, but, as a songwriter and writer, I can tell you it's much more difficult to write a song from scratch than write lyrics. Eminem can verbally assault any 4/4 beat, whether it's a classic Dido song (Stan), or some dude hitting a spaghetti pot with a wooden spoon. Guys like Diddy and Will Smith take old pop songs, plagiarize the music to a tee, write average rhymes over them and voila! number 1 hits galore. It's why I respected Wu Tang so much. 36 Chambers is RZA's creation with minimum samples. No Donna Summer songs behind Clan in da Front. That said, I wish I had the opportunity to spend 5 minutes with Rick Rubin. Dude is a flat-out legend.

Well they rapped they didn't pretend to use instruments. The producers were going off the tradition of hiphop which was using the turntables. You're right its not easy to make music from scratch, but consider what they were dealing with.

[@AdmiralAdam100]

Hip hop artist back in the 70s didn't have the luxury of making beats. That's where sampling originated from... Spinning vinyl (samples) to 4 track recorders and spittin rhymes over them. No such thing as drum machines back then so they worked with what was available. Of course it became a legal nightmare when they started selling records and the record labels that had the rights to those songs weren't getting compensated.

JRE interviews like Rick Rubin interviews normally. I like that.

[@carpenoctem775]

One of the biggest moments in music. Brought hip hop into the mainstream, defined rap-rock, and staged Aerosmith’s comeback.

Rick Ruben doesn’t get credit for been a great producer

[@MijoShrek]

he's literally known as one of greatest of all time. Everyone still seeks him out to make music with him.

[@rutledgeleland2538]

yeah he is doing pretty good

[@marnetmar6246]

Yeah he fuckin does lol

[@mitchstevens820]

Absolutely right about first reactions to new music. The first time I heard Can I play With Madness? by Iron Maiden, my initial thought was, this is not 'Maiden and it sucks. After I heard it a few more times, I realized how great that song was.

"We were being charged horrendous amounts of money. And for me, if you're going to produce something, you're fucking there. I don't care who you are!" He also added: "The Rick Rubin of today is a ... shadow of the Rick Rubin that he was. He is overrated, he is overpaid, and I will never work with him again"

Rubin is an interesting dude. And so talented. Legend.

"Walk This Way" and "Fight for Your Right (to Party)" came out when I was in Jr. High. EVERYONE at school became hiphop fans that year!

Think of some of the top hip hop classic timeless hits that you've heard in the last 30 years & I guarantee Rick Rubin has had his hand in more than half of them

[@AlbertoGonzalez-tc2ju]

I was discussing this with the young folk about I tho this song was one of many especially at that time!!! Very very ground breaking most people had no idea!!!

[@clarkparker4860]

This is so fascinating. Growing up the only reason I knew why rappers weren't main stream was because they were to hardcore. I couldn't have imagined that there was a debate around whether to producing Rock this Way. It's my favorite song of all time.

I remember when that came out. It was huge. Cruising was still allowed. Sac and Modesto ca. 1987

This guy worked with the beastie boys. He also worked at sound city (before it got shut down and Dave grohl bought the mixing desk).

[@karlmathew1342]

Anthrax and Public Enemy with 'Bring The Noise ' is also epic.

[@OaksArmorial]

Yeah, music’s so much better today. Way to go.

[@njandrews4105]

I think the Aerosmith guys and run DMC guys have been friends since then to this day
