Actually Run-DMC themselves pioneered Rap-Rock 2 years earlier with Rock Box and followed it up a year later with "King of Rock". One of the reasons they were hesitant to do Walk this Way is that they felt like they'd be repeating themselves.

I wouldn't go as far as that. It was was the first to do it successfully. For example the first track containing rap played on MTV was Blondie's Rapture, and although I like it, the best you can say about it is that it's odd & quirky. A novelty track basically. But Walk This Way is seriously kickass, a combination of the best of the genres. It showed that Rap was something to be taken seriously

It depends on how good your technique is the way a lot of older rockers do it is by constricting their throat - however in the long run creating distortion this way or indeed just singing with with bad technique has a bad effect on the voice (if you listen to singers like Paul McCartney or Robert Plant sing nowadays you'll see that it eventually catches up with you - their voices are ruined). Alternatively with good technique a much safer type of distortion can be created using the diaphragm rather than the throat which won't wreck your voice by the time you reach old age.

I'm in my late 40s. Well I remember some of the White heavy metal kids in the lunchroom complaining about this song, but for the most part a lot of people thought it was cool. Man, the '80s were great, but it also sucked. Our high school was so "self" segregated, Black & Latino hip hop culture on one side of the cafeteria, White heavy metal/hard rock culture on the other, and few isolated tables with Goth. People were so stupid. I didn't even go the lunchroom by sophomore year cuz I didn't want to be part of this West Side Story bullshit. Even I was brainwashed and felt I couldn't listen to Heavy Metal music, because.......heavy metal was racist?!?!? Mind you, this was a freaking Catholic private school. I can't even imagine how bad it was in public school. I finally started listening to Heavy Metal when I went to college in 1990 and I discovered I loved AC/DC, Metallica, etc. I deprived myself of good music because i let my stupid teen brain get brainwashed by society's bullcrap. Funny, I met a lot of White kids in college who discovered they loved Hip Hop music AFTER high school for the same reasons.

I was reading the comment sections and i thought i found my favorite one: the one written by Darwin Walker right above this comment, about how epic this video / was at the time considering that back then combining rock music and hip hop in creating a song, especially one using a previously released song by Aerosmith was groundbreaking. But your comment is now officially my favorite. These rappers and even some pop stars engaging in petty twitter insults & beefs most likely out of wanting attention & because they are just plain dumb ((which are also sadly covered by the online news outlets in abundance over stupid twitter wars)) rather than putting out groundbreaking music is such a shame.

I think my favorite bit is the fact that Run, D.M.C., Steve, and Joe are so good at looking annoyed with each other - it would be all too easy for the bunch of them to just lip sync without bothering to act. It's also pretty impressive that during the last verse, Steve gives a pretty relaxed vocal, allowing Run-D.M.C. to have the lead until the final chorus, when Steve kicks it into high gear. Sad that Steve's vocals are no longer doable, but it's not like he owes us anything anymore.
