That was my biggest problem back in the day about remixes and rappers is they didn't give credit to the original artists. It's definitely interesting and unique.

It seems like it's basically the same technique as using loops, such as in Garageband or other software, to create a new work, except that it's YouTube videos and it's amateurs creating the loops instead of professionals. Very cool indeed. This does seem to be part of the future. It's one more step in the progression of recordings becoming musical instruments in themselves. For a hundred years now, music creation has moved further and further from a process of first active music creation with passive recording to a system where the recording itself is part of the musical creation. The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds was one big step in that direction from 40 years ago. This and its ilk is yet another step. Fascinating.
