Mash-Ups

A mash-up is when more than one artist or band's music is used to make a mix of those songs. Here is a pretty awesome mash up of my favorite artist and a cool raper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACRLPcvNpGE. Here is another very nice one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgEewhOprG8. I think that a good mash up would be two songs that have completely different genres or styles mixed with the same tempo and that sounds good. I think that mash ups take half musician and half not. I don't consider them true musicians because they aren't making the music, but it takes some musical talent to find somgs that fit together and making them sound good together also.
