I spend a lot of time listening to and searching out new music, and I tend to dork out about it more than is reasonable. Most mashup artists don’t understand what it means to be in time and on tune. I think Girl Talk is unique in his creativity and seamlessness of his work. The reason I like Girl Talk, aside from the hysterical mixes (“wait until you see my dick” whispered by a hyphy rapper while strings from Bitter Sweet Symphony play in the background) is that he uses music from all throughout my life, which I recognize and go “shit, he used that!?”Īs I said, 90% of mashups are shit.
Girl talk chops songs up like onions and mixes them into a rough salad with all sorts of odd ingredients. The Grey album puts the Beatles through a blender and sprinkles Jay-Z on top. Mashups, for me, mean lots of random stuff from lots of random places put together in ways you’d never have expected before. Thus, the Grey Album, wonderful though it is, is basically just a remix because it’s Jay-Z, unedited, over Beatles. I think the dividing line between mashups and simple DJ work basically depends on how much of the music is derived from external sources.
