"There are so many better rap songs than 'Walk This Way'...but I would argue there is no more important song," says Geoff Edgers, author of the new book, Walk This Way: Run-DMC, Aerosmith, and the Song That Changed American Music Forever. On the podcast, we take a deep dive into the story behind the song, time-traveling back to the early 80s when hip hop wasn't even on the radio and hair metal and new wave ruled MTV. Geoff also breaks down his process of writing the book and shares never-before-heard footage from the now infamous recording session that brought Aerosmith and Run-DMC together for the first real rock-hip hop collaboration.
