Ski the East started a new Music Mondays feature this week. My plug is 100% self-serving, as I’ll be the featured tastemaker next week, but I also think it’s a damn good idea. We live in a world with dizzying access to new music; so why do you need some weak sauce list? Well, mostly because we still end up with the same songs in every damn edit. I’ve got three examples here that not only use the same song, but as my buddy Nick (who made the first vid) pointed out– the beat is sampled from the most overused edit song ever.
I’m sure these fine folks just picked a song they liked, but maybe if we increase the pool we can avoid this sort of thing. By the way, the edits are pretty good.
I have to agree. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good song, but in my mind using ‘Kids’ in any form is pretty much just copying That’s It That’s All.
what you have to do is play them all at the same time with a little bit of delay, then scroll up and down to catch snippets of the action and voila…new edit and new Kids/rap mashup!
