I chose this example of several artist mashed-up because it wasn't just two artist coming together to make one song. It is several artists and their songs to make one sick song. This piece was repetitive to me seeing as we just read a similar piece. Its an upcoming style that is taking the popular culture by demand. I do believe that DJ'S who scrap brought this new style to our society. Their creativity is picking out the "cool" songs to play and also to remix songs. For example when you go to clubs in Vegas they played "Im in Vegas Bitch" by LMFAO. It's interesting that Rojas titles this "bootleg" culture, I disagree with the word usage used to describe remixing and mash-ups. I dont believe that remixing a song is bootlegging from someone elses work. It is easy to take songs and people have these tables where they can add their own beats on any song that is in their library, and play it at parties etc.. I agree if its at a little college party thats fine, but when it comes to doing it for you're benefit to get your name out for DJing than that should be illegal.
