First is a mashup from DJ/Blogger/Chicago duo Hood Internet. It combines a popular hip hop song/dance craze and mixes it with an artist that might be considered more indie - Toro y Moi (genre: chillwave). There are tons of examples of these genre mixing mashups, but I thought this one felt appropriate for today (RIP M-Bone)

Kanye's newest album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," also provides many examples of cross-genre collaboration, as well as sampling from other genres. His first single from the album, "Power," includes a sample from King Crimson - a prog rock group from the 70's (and really, what says white like "prog rock group from the 70s"). Later, he collaborates with indie folk singer Justin Vernon on "Lost in the world."

These sorts of unorthodox collaborations are everywhere lately. You would think that it would make all sorts of musical tastes more accepted. Then again, they aren't exactly new (run dmc collaborated with aerosmith nearly 25 years ago).
