Mash-Up

A mash-up is the combination of two or more songs. A good mash-up has two or more great songs. Also it should have the best parts of the songs. Not only that but the songs are supose to flow and sound good together. Some people think that mash-up artist arent real musicians since they dont make the songs, they just put them together. I disagree with this statement. Thats because they actually do creat a new song out of a combination of does songs. Also they also put a lot of work to make the songs flow together, and sound good together. In addition to this they also creat a steady beat thats not in does songs, thats another reason why they are real artist. Although i dont really like this type of music i have herd some of them, one of the ones ive herd and liked is Numb/Encore by Jay-Z and Linking Park(this is the live version of the song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXnR8y89TvI and this is the studio version :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqo7b2C0qMg). In conclusion i think that making a mash up can be challenging and very fun in some ways.
