In class today, what caught my attention the most what how Jennifer Lopez’s “On the Floor” sampled from a song in Brazil, which sampled from a song from Bolivia. It weird to think that melody has been around for so many years! Anyways, I decided to blog this week about some other genealogy’s of another song. Ariana Grande is a huge pop star today, one of her first well known songs was back in 2013 with “The Way”. Come to find out that song sampled the melody from another back in 1998. This was a song called “Still Not a Player” by Big Pun. The fact that a pop song from the 2000’s had the same beat as a popular hip hop song back in the 90’s is so funny to me. Well come to find out that the line doesn’t stop there. The original melody was found in a song from 1979 called “A Little Bit of Love” by Brenda Russell. This was more R&B. It is so funny to see it travel through all of these genres! One last interesting fact, Britney Spears’ “Toxic”, as iconic as it is, came from a hindi song in 1981………
