@TheReelCutter I wasn't tearing it down. I was adding constructive criticism and merely inputting how I felt about this song. Excuse me for looking at new music and speaking what I think about whatever I listen to! There's a reason there is a comment box and a like/dislike system.
@AerialRush Let's make this a civil discussion. To your point of 'constructive criticism,' there is nothing in your comment that seeks to construct or build. Let's re-examine what you said...
"Not extraordinary or anything. No real innovation. It's solid but he must've been at the right place at the right time to get so popular."
What about this builds or offers insight Greg could use for the future? Good timing? That's out of his control.
it's not that girl talk is ground breaking just its cool to listen too. plus this type of quality selection and mash-up timing is not some shit any asshole can do.
girl talk is somewhat of an activist as well as a musician he knows he is breaking the law making his music, but its more technical then you think too he's actually very good at what he does and i barely listen to him, hes i biochemisy or some shit check out the documentary hes in called RIP!: A remix manifesto
I'm laughing at some of the comments, as if this is easy, this is an amazing talen...this is an ear for music, to be able to mix and transition songs to this level is amazing!
all you assholes are just jealous bc you can't even mix 2 songs together. Gillis makes his own music, have you ever heard this mix before? maybe the songs that are in them but together? no i didnt think so. he has talent and got famous and rich for it, but it took a long time just as it would any other artist. Gregg Willis is good so stop hating.
A ten year old can create mash ups and "good" music from a laptop. This guy should've stuck to engineering to actually make himself useful. Though I don't blame him for going with the luck that just so happened to choose his side...But that's exactly what it is and why people think he's so great: luck. W/e
@Emezsk8, That first sample is not The Who. Additionally the song you are referring to is Baba O'Reily. It is a common mistake that people call it Teenage Wasteland. :)
this song makes me want to pitch a tent in my pants. I want to cum all over some laguna beach watching, hollister wearing, daddy issue, bitchy attitude pre teen cream dream sluts face and seal her dumbass mouth shut....thank you
I'd like to point out that I have never heard ANYWHERE Girl Talk say he was revolutionary, or even great. Those are labels idiots on the web slap to people. Girl Talk is just a guy who likes music and mash ups and was able to get recognized for doing it and putting on a fun live performance.
it's not so much that he just does mashups, it's the breadth of material that goes into each track. Like an audio collage, there's many seemingly unrelated samples that are all put together into the composition. Jock Jams has nothing on this.
@SooberYooberToober -it's not just a loop, it's dozens of loops that were sampled and manipulated into the composition that you heard. There might be 15 songs represented in this track and you'd only recognize a few of them because the rest are indistinguishable in the noises and beats.
@Bassmastajazzyj he says 99% of his stuff is made of other people's, but even then I think he means 99% of his mashups. I don't think he makes his own
since the 90s??? try the early 80s. PSYCHIC TV, later Big Audio Dynamite, KLF, the ORB, KLF= kopyright liberation front. Grandmaster FLASH , Africa Bambaata, Brian Eno, or the 60s John Cage, Carlheinz Stockhausen, Steve Reich,etc, check out "HYMNA" by stockhausen. it all goes back to DADA. 1920s!
As for laptops they rule! They help set up songs piece by piece and give a formal sound. Nothing wrong with using a laptop. It takes tons of talent to use a laptop just the same as it does to play a keyboard. They both take equal amounts of time and practice before you can make something amazing!
@ltomatoe Yes they do. Your just say they don't because you're mad that music created on the computer sounds so good and because you don't see the computer as an instrument. You look at it as a cheap way out when in reality it's not. It takes a ton of time to make a song on the computer and find a good sound. Just as it does on a keyboard or guitar.
@FatherAcid Hum. Now I see your point. Nonetheless I believe that the democratisation of musical software have brought a lot of painful amateur in the music composition diaspora that take advantage of the easyness of certain software. Yet, talented, patient and artisticaly creative musician may discriminate bad sound from good sound and good composition from cheap ass scrap, wich they are too many of. But I see your point and, as a heavy laptop user for music and studio owner myself, i agree.
@ltomatoe Ok. I see where your coming from but I don't see how a laptop being far cheaper than say an entire studio is bad thing. Without a laptop "studio" we would be eliminating a good number of probable djs and their shows. I see how the computer can sometimes be TOO easy but I think if you're like me a hard working producer or computer music, it really pays off. You can tell the difference between the lazy and the productive computer djs.
I don't know what you're all bitching about this song is amazing! It makes me feel free! There's just something about those keys at the beginning that repeat throughout the whole song that makes you feel like you're on air. Epic.
So what is it, exactly, that he does that's so revolutionary and/or great? People have been doing this since the 90s. HAVE WE ALL FORGOTTEN JOCK JAMS?
@opeybear its not so much about just girl talk, hes like a catalyst for this revolution. its about taking something great, and making it your own, still great, but seperate expression. its about freeing ideas that they cant stop, all they can do is slap it with a copyright and a potential lawsuit. and if they do that to girltalk, someone else will step up. my ninjas, they cant stop us now
i wouldnt say jock jams are amazing, but girl talk is more modernized music mixed with oldschool rap, rock, pop and etc. their concerts are sick amazing
@opeybear Girl talk is awesome, but he did not popularize mashups, they had been going on years and years before he ever became popular (and probably before he ever started sampling). and it's roots go even further back to before he was even born.
i'm 30, and i probably heard my 1st mashups at age 12-13, on late night radio shows. I don't think GT deserves that kind of credit. he heard something cool, emulated it, got creative, put his signature on it and made some funky music :)
@deviat3 Alot of you have a limited analysis of Girl Talk. It's not a mix, it's an appropriation of a plethora of different songs to transform them into something new. The samples are like instruments, and they're used to make something new. If ytou track and listen to all the sample it takes to make 15 songs of any of his songs it helps to put things in perspective.

@deviat3 I think he just finds really original ways to do the mash-ups, sometimes with songs that would just seem to be not 'mashable'. I like him- there are a few others out there that are really good..
ladies, please. settle down. there are infinite variations that make artists different and if you dislike an artist because of there style it's your opinion, same goes for if you like what the artist is doing. fucking bitching about who is the best artist is god damn annoying and irrelevant
i guess big album sales, numerous sold out concerts, and repeatedly played at every college party, makes you a fuckin joke. and plus, more and more DJ's are using laptops, including your beloved house DJ's
Theres a difference between using a laptop with software that runs with your turntables and just using a fucking laptop. His "big" album sales are all from third party distributers because all the music he uses is stolen and he makes that quite clear. As for sold out concerts, NOT ONE of them were HIS concerts They were either festivals, club gigs or opening acts. Leaving one legitimate fact: Played at every college party. From where im standing, thats pretty laughable
