The NZA Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 So, ever since uh, Public Enemy and Anthrax did "Bring the Noise", mash-ups have been kinda fun, although essentially its just taking one genre and putting it on top of the other, so scratch the PE example...modern ones are Notorious B.I.G. + Sinatra, or Jay-Z + Beatles = The Gray Album. The earliest example i can find is Nirvana + Destiny's Child "Smells like Booty". Anyway, a lotta times they seem forced (Linkin Park's guy has an album of this kinda thing) but smetimes they come off really cool, like Ludacris + Kylie Minogue (sp?) "I wanna...(at first sight)". Junker showed me one today that was pretty cool as well: Q-Unit - Queen + 50 Cent. Again, its a hit or miss thing where sometimes the chorus works but the verses seem off, or vice versa, but if its done well, usually youll find at least a few tracks that're good. Im usually down to give these things a shot, there's a good Micheal Jackson one by DJ Lt. Dan if i can find it - Danger Mouse was a genius.

Jumbie Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) Sorry to get all political on you guys, but here's what congressman Mike Doyle had to say about Mash-ups and copyrights at a discussion about the future of radio: (bold type is mine) Mr. Chairman, I want to tell you a story of a local guy done good. His name is Greg Gillis and by day he is a biomedical engineer in Pittsburgh. At night, he DJs under the name Girl Talk. His latest mash-up record made the top 2006 albums list from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Spin Magazine amongst others. His shtick as the Chicago Tribune wrote about him is "based on the notion that some sampling of copyrighted material, especially when manipulated and recontextualized into a new art form is legit and deserves to be heard." In one example, Mr. Chairman, he blended Elton John, Notorious B-I-G, and Destiny's Child all in the span of 30 seconds. And, while the legal indie-music download site eMusic.com took his stuff down due to possible copyright violation, he's now flying all over the world to open concerts and remix for artists like Beck. The same cannot be said for Atlanta-based, hop-hop, mix-tape king DJ Drama. Mix-tapes, actually made on CDs, are sold at Best Buys and local record shops across the country and they are seen as crucial in making or breaking new acts in hip-hop. But even though artists on major labels are paying DJ Drama to get their next mixed-tape, the major record labels are leading raids and sending people like him to jail. I hope that everyone involved will take a step back and ask themselves if mash-ups and mixtapes are really different or if it's the same as Paul McCartney admitting that he nicked the Chuck Berry bass-riff and used it on the Beatle's hit "I Saw Her Standing There." Maybe it is. And, maybe Drama violated some clear bright lines. Or, maybe mixtapes are a powerful tool. And, maybe mash-ups are transformative new art that expands the consumers experience and doesn't compete with what an artist has made available on iTunes or at the CD store. And, I don't think Sir Paul asked for permission to borrow that bass line, but every time I listen to that song, I'm a little better off for him having done so. I think that's just about the coolest congressman I've ever come across... Edited March 16, 2007 by Jumbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
