And then the moment when it all came together: the seminal, popular, and highly publicized 1987 joint concert tour, \u003ci\u003eRaising Hell\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTOGETHER FOREVER\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a visual time capsule of hip-hop on the cusp of becoming mainstream, but a record of the strong bond of friendship between these two groups and how they significantly influenced each other, all while having a massive impact on music history and the industry.
