[kj] OT: Afrika Bambaataa & John Lydon (Time Zone) - WorldDestruction (1984)

[Christof hamille]

Walk This Way came out in 1986.  What people may argue with World 
Destruction was that it wasn't really a crossover.  John Lydon was singing 
along with Bambattaa.  Where as the Aerosmith and Run DMC version that was a 
real blend of rock and rap.  The only thing you MAY be able to associate in 
World Destruction besides Lydons voice is the keyboards.
