Mashup

Plagiarism and Fallacies Many people discredit the music genre of “mash-ups” from being an actually genre on the grounds that a mixer is using other people’s work. Mixing is actually a widely practices art form of music that in certain circles is in fact recognized as an art form. If much of the public stays close-minded on those who use other people’s music to create a new sound and only consider them to be plagiarists, this genre of music won’t be able to go anywhere.

Tears Are Becoming John” by Edmynd is a mashup of “John” by Lil Wayne featuring Rick Ross and “My Tears Are Becoming A Sea” by M83. The mashup is essentially the vocal track from “John” overlaid over the instrumental track of “My Tears Are Becoming A Sea.” The two songs work surprisingly well together, because the instrumental of M83’s song fits “John” perfectly. It amplifies the theme of Lil Wayne’s song, making it potentially better than the original. I found myself enjoying the mashup more…
