I attended a spin cycle class this morning and our instructor played one hip hop song. We actually get a very eclectic mix from this instructor: Elton John's "Saturday night's alright for fighting" and Adele's "Rolling in the deep" were also include in today's mix tape.
When the hip hop song began, i recognized the opening chords...but as another song. Now I need to say that I never figured out what song the music was sampled from (and hopefully paid for), nor do I have any idea of the name or artist of the hip hop version, since I am more of a classic rock/metal/international/folk/indie music fan (the closest I get to hip hop is old Chili Peppers), but I started to think about creating music/poetry over the top of someone else's creation and I was reminded of secondary data analysis. I am doing a class project right now that is sort of a secondary data analysis using interviews done by someone else (for some other reason) so I can see a parallel between my 're-reading' of these interviews and 're-arranging' or 're-composing' music written and recorded by someone else. There is even frequently a fracturing process that goes on when music is sampled; same as for qualitative analysis.
