Girl Talk - Night Ripper

Gregg Gillis turns mashup into a reputable genre making it mainstream using unheard of amount of layers. Going by Girl Talk, this one man party brings no instruments to his concerts, just his laptop. He uses obscure samples from all genres, but manages to mesh them together flawlessly. By the way, all links of 2010 by me will have a sample track now and a link to buy the album so it's now easier to "try before you buy".

Try it!
Buy it!

Gangstagrass - Gangstagrass

Gangstagrass is a band that I heard about a while ago from thunderboltjackson(R.I.P the blog). It's a grand blend of gangster rap and bluegrass combining some excellent fingerpicking bajos and deep bass beats. This is probably the most ridiculous mashup album I have ever encountered. Well, at least one of them. Get it direct from their website for free.

"calling on the spirit of Gram Parsons and Otis Redding and KRS-ONE and Dolly Parton and Nina Simone and Willie Nelson and Missy Elliott and Johnny Cash , to write about what we feel and play what our hearts tell us, because to make it happen is reason enough, and to share it with the world is all the reason you need, because we tell the truth with music and the truth is beautiful."
