Pairing hip-hop with rock and roll dates as far back at least to Run DMC and Aerosmith's "Walk this Way" but presently the idea runs the risk of turning into something akin to the Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock school of rap-rock, which mercifully appears to have run its course in popular music. Thankfully, that's not at all the case with Blakroc because The Black Keys truly transform into a tight, aggressive and authentic hip-hop session band rather than a rock band trying to fake its way through a forced genre shift.

Once they got going, Dash reached out to a variety of other MC's who all wanted to contribute to this unique outfit. The results are fittingly awesome. I't seems the guys from the Black Keys are on a creative [...]
We've seen indie rockers reach out to hip-hop's most recognizable collective (or at least the most recognizable hip-hop collective to indie rockers). But lately, it's been Wu-Tang Clan making the moves. This week Judgment Night 2009 is in full force, with genres meshing again and RZA, GZA, and company at the heart of it.
