Walk This Way...

Metal and Rap... Surely the greatest of all combinations?

The song that showed the world how heavy guitars and rapping could make a pretty good combination. Oh, and that guitar riff is pretty awesome!

I love this! I was into rap in 1978 with Rapper's Delight from the Sugar Hill Gang. I got my first Rap LP in 1980, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 (I still own it...)

But the crossover of rap and metal with Run DMC and the Beastie Boys (1987?)made me a metal fan to this day!

The rap/metal crossover continues to this day and I think it's cool!

Itt makes fans of both genres check out other musical styles...

Which is no small feat, since both metalheads and rappers (don't know what you call the fans) usually can't stand each other...
