Mash-ups that Rock

Put Your Hands Up For Detroit - Silent film Dirty Dancing with music by Fedde La Grand (Slightly NSFW) and other successful mash-ups, including 8 1/2 Mile, an excellent Fellini’s / Eminem combo. (From a blog by "Mefi’s own" Ajit AP)

"8 1/2 Mile" is quite good.

Close Detroit, and on your way out make sure all the lights are off. Give it up. and I am a Michigan boy. this is so sad, sad, sad, one hundred times sad. This used to be a real city once. Now it is just a graveyard. That is the sad, sad, sad, and even more sad than that sad. I loved you once Detroit. God bless.

umm, there's still 900,000 people here. It's not a graveyard. People are working here and working here, regardless of what the popular image might be.

that being said, i liked the mashup.

That rap one needed to be silent.

Thou shalt not make some noise for Detroit.

8 1/2 mile was dope.

I've long loved 8 1/2 Mile; strong link.

Eh? Neither a mention of Walk it Out, Fosse, nor Apache Prodigy, nor even the venerable Tupac Barney?

I was in downtown Detroit not too long ago and bought a great smoothie at a nice clean place that was playing very good music. A few ED 209s and the place will be as good as new.
