Response to “DJ Dangermouse”
DJ Dangermouse
I don’t think what DJ Dangermouse did was really that wrong. He was just trying to express his creativity. If the record labels could just see it as an amazing art work rather than another way to financial gain I’m sure there would have been no problem. I’m not such a fan of hip hop, but I do like the Beatles and although I couldn’t really here much of John Lennon or any of the other Beatles in the Grey Album’s remixes I think it’s sorta interesting that someone was brave enough to remix/combine the Beatles with the world of hip hop music. In my opinion as long as the person who mashes the copyrighted music doesn’t try to make money of it, it’s fine.
I think DJ Dangermouse said it best in his RollingStones interview:
“If somebody like Ringo or Paul McCartney heard it, I think they would dig it,” says Danger Mouse. “If Jay-Z heard it and said, ‘This sucks, dude,’ then I’d be like, ‘OK, everyone please send me back their copies.”
I mean, if the artist themselves don’t have problem with it…why should the big shot corporate people who have nothing to do with the creative process make such a big deal of it?
