I can easily see how this might be scoffed at by serious record hounds, which I maybe aspired to once upon a time but haven't been for decades, as too obvious, the samples too popular. Unoriginal: 'Where are the esoteric DJ Shadow samples that nobody knows but me and my cool friends?' But as post-hiphop Frat Rock, witty party music, the copyright vandalism of Girl Talk is absolutely exhilarating dancefloor fodder. It's like Gregg Michael Gillis', aka Girl Talk, loves hiphop, sees a crossover rap and hard rock song like maybe RunDMC/Aerosmith's "Walk This Way (1986) as a fountainhead event in a new electronic hybrid genre, and sets out to produce club mix versions for all his 1990s and 2000s rap favorites. This is about as populist rock & roll in the original 'it's got a good beat and you can dance to it' sense as I've found in the 21st century. The Kids Are Alright, if oversexed as the 16-24 set will tend to be. In short, this is sweaty hot party music. For the excitable of all ages, but with a big parental advisory label. Okie-dokie?
