Michael Sauers pointed out Q-Unit, a mashup of Queen and 50 Cent. They’re sure to have Disney (the rights owner for Queen’s catalog) on their back soon. At least, it didn’t take Disney long to shut down The Kleptones, whose “A Night At The Hip-Hopera” has a spot on my iPod.
And that’s where the story comes around, are we at the point where we can say Queen’s music has taken on the status of a modern fairy tale? And are these artists — The Kleptones and Q-Unit — the new Disneys, remaking old tales for new times?

slightly off topic, but have you seen this, casey? http://www.pearworks.com/pages/pearLyrics.html
i just read it before heading here– related to your blogging for sure, though maybe only a cousin to this entry. i’m getting tired of this garbage, when will the music industry learn that alienating their customers is no the best business model.
I have to say, the Queen / G-Unit album is shit (but then I never rated Fiddy anyway). A much better mashup is the Primal Scream one, get it while you can over at http://www.primalscreamremixed.com/
