RUN-DMC - Rock Box
The previous post got me going with the old stuff. The first crossover of hip hop and rock. Dont be mistaken, it wasn't Aerosmith and RUN-DMC, it was ONLY RUN-DMC with their classic "Rock Box". I love this song. Please make it through the video cause it's the same picture all along... but a damn cool picture, did anyone say KANGOL?
The Beastie Boys - (You gotta) fight for your right (to party)
This song became a huge hit. Three very angry NY kids kicking it at a party. They translate the universal horror of all teenage boys when they rap "your mom threw away your best porno mag". Fair to say as much credit of this awesome track goes to producer Rick Rubin who you can see in this clip, he is the bearded dude with the slayer t-shirt.
Anthrax - I'm the man
Now something different, a heavy metal band making a hip hop song and a parodie. This is actually quite funny. Check their clothes.
The Beastie Boys - No sleep till Brooklyn
Another Beastie track, a classic. Pretty funny video. Performance by Slayer's Kerry King (guitar Solo, well, after the gorilla).
