We Are Your Friends

I love cross genre collaborations 

 A lot of people applauded Kanye West for his genre hopping ability when he used a sample of Daft Punk's song 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' for his 2007 song 'Stronger'. The Daft Punk song was originally released in 2001 and in 2007 a live recording of the song was turned into a music video.  However around the same time in 2007, the hip-hop artist Wale sampled the electro song 'D.A.N.C.E.' from Justice. The French Dj duo Justice is the group that beat Kanye at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards for the best video award with the song 'We Are Your Friends' and caused his tantrum. When he interrupted the acceptance speech of the label art director, SO ME, he said he had never seen the video. However in 2007, he made Jonas and François, the director and SO ME, the animator of Justice's video for 'D.A.N.C.E.',  the video director and animator of his song, 'Good Life'. 

The hip-hop artist Noreaga created a song with electronic djs MSTRKRFT and artists like Kid Cudi have sampled songs from the electronic band Ratatat and the electro group LCD Soundsystem. 

Hip-hop artists are realizing that it is okay to listen to other styles of music and they are applying those influences to their music. Also as hip-hop blends with other musical styles, they are gaining more fans that are new hip-hop. This change in hip-hop also shows that are truly influenced by the first hip-hop artists like Afrika Bambaataa, who was greatly influenced my dance music and used Kraftwerk's song 'Numbers' as inspiration for his song 'Planet Rock'. Hopefully the old hip-hop fans will appreciate the evolution of hip-hop and will help create a multicultural fanbase that appreciates all styles of music.

 Hopefully, a video for 'I Poke Her Face' will be released soon. The idea of Kid Cudi, Kanye West and Common rapping over Lady Gaga's song 'Poker Face' was genius.
