Swagga Like Us

Hello Blog readers,

We got done with our Anatomy practical today and I'm happy to say I did pretty well today. Today's article is going to be about music. Where would we be without it! Right now I'm hanging out in my friends apartment and listening to the T.I.'s new song "Swagga Like Us". I have to say, Kanye and Lil' Wayne with M.I.A. singing is awesome. Listening to something like this is pretty neat. I'm not claiming that they did something extraordinary, but it is a good song. The addition of M.I.A. is pretty cool, especially because she is not known too well in North America.

When collaborations like Jay-Z and Punjabi MC happen, great music occurs and it gets lots of exposure. The same can be said with rock and roll and classical music and rap music with classical instruments. These so called mash ups and music mixing creates a genre of music; rap-rock, rap-classical, rock-classical have opened up a new dimension to music. DJs and forward thinking musicians can attributed to this new field of music mixing innovation.

However, there are lots of critics that don't like the new music that has been released. In my opinion, there is no room for criticism because just like people didn't like what is now considered established "music" (rock, swing, jazz, etc.), each genre of music will find its own niche of listeners.
