Super Bass Remix Karmin
Super Bass Original Nicki Minaj
With the first video you can see the basic setting, in a small room and you can see everyone who's part of the band playing their instrument. Everything but the lyrics differs from the original. They use instruments which makes the song come out much better than the digital ones in the original. In the original video it shows Nicki Minaj dancing , sitting in a ice sculpture of a motorcycle or in a pink swimming pool, all these extravagant things to catch the viewer's attention. With the remix it is very simplistic, nothing much goes on, nothing to really catch your attention. Just this makes the message, with the remix you can focus on the song and how much talent these people have. The original is all very transparent. In the remix the song ends up coming out good even though the lyrics are pretty shallow but the singer/rapper makes it seem as though it's genuine. With the original it's more about the media, no message is being sent out to the listener. With the original you can't really see the singer's talent compared to the remix.
Great example of a remix!

Do you think this is why the remix artist chose to film her video in the fashion she did?
Also, you write, "With the original it's all typical and overrated, it categorizes itself with the 'look what's happening to rap, it's crap' type of song." You need to expand on this statement. What exactly do you mean by this? Is this remix a statement on what rap/hip hop is or isn't? Explain!
