Displacement
In class, it was argued that “Displacement is a major engine of cultural innovation and creativity.” I believe that this is very true, our music comes from so many different places and sampling is used more frequently than I would have thought. It is unbelievable how so many different artists pull from songs that already exist. Even artists that are known worldwide use sampling like Pitbull. However, after hearing my classmate from Bolivia talk about how their culture was getting ripped off by big-time artists made me realize that people don’t always give credit where it is due. If an artist is going to use anything from someone else’s song they should be given credit. Just how we have to cite our sources and give credit to authors when writing papers.
