When Rock Met Hip-Hop: Run-DMC, Aerosmith, Anthrax & The Birth Of A Cultural Crossover [Episode 354]

In this episode, we examine the groundbreaking crossover moments when rock met hip-hop—and music history changed. From Run-DMC and Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” to Anthrax and Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise,” these collaborations broke musical, cultural, and racial barriers. I'm joined by Steven Blush, author of 'When Rock Met Hip-Hop', to discuss how artists like the Blondie, Beastie Boys, Ice-T, and others helped fuse genres, challenge industry norms, and shape the future of popular music. A deep dive into the roots, impact, and lasting legacy of one of music’s most influential movements.
