Ricky and Uriel's Connection

The video Nothing but the Beat was really interesting, and it was actually amazing to see how Dvid Guetta did make a change in the music industry. The connection between David Guetta and the course is based on how David broke away from the routine of hip hop, and jumped into this world of a reestablished type of house music. David wanted to go beyond of just being a DJ, and he wanted to make something that wanted to make people dance, and feel free from the world, and just get into the beat of the music. He wanted to make something of his own, something that would change the way of music, and have people listen to the get into the beat rather than just the lyrics. I see how Ricky and Uriel connected this to the course, because we've been studying how people like Thoruea and Emmerson had this idea of being your own person, and not letting the conformity of society take over of who you are. In the video David meets Chris Willis, who is a gospel singer and a preacher, and asks him to take part in this new transformation. Chris was hesitant at first saying that he could go to hell for singing to this type of music, but then David tells him to think of it as preaching to a new crowd of people. This definitely falls into the course because in the late 1800s or so whenever there was a change or someone thought differently than society, they were declared a witch at the stake. And most people would think that would change by now, yet there's still that fear of being someone different or putting out something new to the world. One of David's key to starting this new house music was to create a bridge from Europe to America, electronic to urban, and whites to blacks. Music for David didn't depend on who you are or where you came form, all he wanted to do was create something that could get into peoples heart,  make dance like no ones business, escape from the routine of music, and listen to nothing but the beat.
