Some have suggested that getting a hit song by sampling a previous hit some and backpacking on its awesomeness just feels like... cheating. To them, it seems as if the success is less pure - a "sloppy seconds" experience, if you will, however indiscernible said sloppiness may be. The problem is this ignores the history of, well, music. If Mozart and Beethoven had tape recorders and turntables, I have no doubt they would have skipped piano lessons for the studio. Great composers have "borrowed" melodies from others since the term "composer" existed. That's the way we learn music. [...]

When it comes to tribute songs, "How To Do That" may be a first. Despite most odes to fallen soldiers being down-tempo and carrying orchestral qualities, The Cali Swag District stay true to form and take their homie's memory straight to the club. Keeping to the clap-happy habits that had Michelle Obama doing "The Dougie" and took their dumbed-down brand of dance education worldwide, "How To Do That" carries the basic qualities of just another radio song casual listeners would end up complaining about on first listen. Beyond the surface appearance, you'll [...]

The crew who took over the country and taught everyone how to Dougie do a complete 180 and drop this Michael Jackson sample on us. It's hard for your track not to be gold when you have a catchy sample. In other news, is swag the most popular term in this new decade of ours? Gotta be right? There's legitimately a dude in the music biz trying to make it with the name Bog Swaggit. Had to get that off my chest. Shout out to B with the find. B > C. Download: Cali Swag [...]

Here's one of the sickest mashups I've heard in awhile, thanks to DJ. He took the bass rumbling Basshead by Bassnectar and 'Teach Me How To Dougie' by Cali Swag District and mashed them together perfectly for a new party hit. This song is great all the way through, and is sure to get a party going. You do need some massive bass to really enjoy the song, but it's sick anyway you listen to it. Turn the bass up and enjoy!
