@Ipvids Thanks! I actually downloaded them that night- I paid for them, but it was optional :) My only *wish* is that they were edited! ;-) I listen to them when I go running- but if they were edited, I would play the songs everywhere! <3 it!
@lpvids I honestly cringe when I hear the swear words, that's all. Also, these beats are so good I would love to share them with my children but would never due to the language content. Do you really think censoring would detract from the songs? There are plenty songs that I always heard edited, and when I heard them uncensored on the album I almost fell of the treadmill bc I had NO idea that's what he was saying! ;-0
@cuencastone Night Ripper and Feed the Animals are the two like this. His first two albums are a lot different, and not as good imo. But you can download them all free.
He cites "fair-use" laws and supreme court decisions as his logic for using other artists material. To be honest, a lawsuit would help him more than hurt; he instantly become the face of the Recording Industry's witch hunt on illegal use of music, and gain national attention for it...
hey man, technically this is not copy right, aslong as hes not selling this material for profit. He made a remix, like you know a dj would do,.... dj's must be breaking the copyright law all the time, cuz they sure dont have the rights too the music they play and... remix. like this guy.... i dunno if hes selling his remix's tho cuz if he was it would be a different story
actually i paid 15$ The guys is good and very entertaining in concert. He needs the money to keep going. And if you don't like his music don't go around watching his videos and commenting hater stuff like that.
ya well that's inevitable people will be cheap not thinking about the fact that without money in his pocket means inability to get to concerts and rent facility's to host the concerts
You can't blame people for being cheap, after all he payed zilch for the music he remixes to make this money off of... which I don't think is a bad thing. He'll get his money through the concerts, cause he's not the one that rents the facilities. The facilities ask him to come and they do all the advertising, cause half of the fun is dancing to his music in a concert/club scene, so multitudes of people will come
I don't even think he can SELL his music officially seeing as he's probably sampled like damn near 1000 songs. He probably has some kinda "donation" scheme working hahaha. I'd give him a few bucks for the great mash ups I've heard for sure though. I'm not as pleased w/ the rest of his stuff as I was with Feed The Animals though.
do you know how much it would cost him to clear these samples? even ONE sample could span 15 people or so cuz rappers tend to sample from big funk bands or sample other samples :S. one song may contain about 150 different people to pay haha. not including the big label suits who get the MOST money but do the least amount of work.
What I'm saying is that alot of artists waive fees like that, because of his notoriety, and its not like he is just copying their whole song simple a few seconds.
There is a revolution going on. Copyright laws are disappaering because of youtube. There is so much violation of the law (on youtube) that its not possible anymore to execute the law and treat everyone the same. A big part of the videos on youtube contain some copyright violation. They would have to controle every video and write every owner. This will take to much time and effort. I`m sorry for my bad english.
He did an interview a few weeks ago on NPR and tried to explain all the legal stuff. I don't think he knows whether it's legal or not since it's only short clips of songs.
Actually after he started hitting the mainstream many of the bands he had used material from praised him and some of the bands probably even sent him their tracks.
VERY not true. That music that you refer to as Hip-hop artists using in the backround of their songs (For instance Kanye's 'Diamonds From Sierra Leone') are all LISCENCED and PAID FOR. The tracks that GirlTalk mixes largely, are not. That doesn't detract from the sheer genius of his mixes though.
Yeah, I still don't think it's gonna stop him from doing it. Same with me. I do the same shit. To me it's a game; How long before I get sued...? j/k. Like trACEurace says, "It's sheer genius"...
I don't understand everyone bitching about credit needing to be given to the artists that have been sampled. This has been going on since the early 80's. He's simply sampling newer artists who had been sampling older artists. Why complain about it now?
yes, for sure you should keep do this! it makes me discover where the samples are from and appreciate a little bit more this mixes which are really awesome !
It's pretty simple, if you take two songs and crossfade them together at the same matching BPM (beat per minute) it is called mixing. There are many variations of mixing. Taking multiple samples of different songs and putting them together is considered mash-up. It mainly has to do with how the tracks are played out. Taking the beat from one song and the vocals from another is mash-up. It's really a big confusing circle. :-P I hope that helped you understand a bit more. google it if not
@bhdunn If you actually read my entire comment you would understand i said Greg Gillis is doing mash-up and not mixing. I simply tried to explain the most basic examples of mixing vs mash-up. Please read more carefully next time. Thanks :-)
You know I kinda like this. Whether you should keep doing it or not I don't know, that's up to you. But I do give you positive feedback, I think it's rather cool. ;)
