Michael SmashSon - Thrill Star

I love the idea! This is definitely a fusion that I haven't seen before. I'm interested to see how exactly you will combine the two artists. Of course, Macintosh Plus is mostly known for only one song (that is now a meme) but Kanye has a very broad discography. I feel like Macintosh Plus would best fit with Kanye's music from the "Graduation" / "808s and Heartbreak" era, because those albums feature a highly synthesized production. But I'm interested to see your take on it.

Also, will your mashup be purely sound-based, or will you also combine visual elements (music videos, etc)?

I actually enjoyed the song and I found it pretty humorous. Associating the King of Pop with Shrek is pretty funny. You mentioned going for familiarity and I definitely feel like this will be familiar to a large amount of people. I do think that Thriller gets a bit lost and becomes a background track to All Star. The most recognizable portion of Thriller is the very end, but I wonder how many people would actually listen to the whole song.
