AEROSMITH To Induct RUN-D.M.C. Into Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

February 4, 2009

According to BostonHerald.com, AEROSMITH will handle the induction honors when pioneering Queens, N.Y., rap group RUN-D.M.C. enters the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April.

"They're like gods of rock," RUN-D.M.C.'s Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels told BostonHerald.com. "People think that we did 'Walk This Way' to get white people. We did [a version of AEROSMITH's] 'Walk this Way' because before rap records was made, we used to always have to find beats to rap over. So we used a lot of JAMES BROWN, but that AEROSMITH beat was one of our favorites to freestyle over.

"So we did 'Walk This Way', it did what it did for the music, then we did the video, which literally broke down the wall, so it'd be dumb not to have them induct us, because of what we did together and who they are. They're legends, like pioneers."
