Dig this: Mash-ups are nothing new. Hell they're everywhere these days. From NFL broadcasts to Christmas commercials, corprate America has discovered (and almost overkilled) what dope-ass club DJ's have known for years; Mashing two, or more, known songs together will surprise and please a wide audience, especially when genre lines get crossed.
Wick-It the Instigator has been a master of this craft for years and my personal favorite mash-up maker. He doesn't just jam a vocal track from one song over the instrumental of another. He carefully and skillfully mashes shit up. His latest mixtape, The Brothers of Chico Dusty, blends Atlanta bad-ass, Big Boi's solo LP Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty and the blues/rock ass-kickers the Black Keys' Brothers.
Get a load of this shit:

But don't sleep on this shit either. Check out track 7 (MIA vs Green Day vs Weezer vs Rick Ross vs Dee Lite), track 20 (my personal favorite Jay Z remix/mash-up ever), track 24 (featuring a verse from yours truly) and Beardhammer loyists will certainly appriciate track 29 (HELMET vs Purple Ribbon vs Gorillaz).
