I think this is cool.. but why is it when an artist is remixed by another artist, or if one artist is featured on another's song/album/ep.. they're squaring off ? in europe they don't say soandso featuring or 'with'.. soandso2.. or artist 'track title' (artist2 remix) they say 'artist1 vs. artist2' does the word versus have a different connotation in europe ? or is it just for fun e.g. beck vs. aphex twin tricky vs. gravediggaz massive attack vs. mad professor (or whoever that was) |

I had always wondered the same thing. I take vs. as battles. Like supernat vs juice (mc battle) but in remixes it's nothing like a battle but merely an artist trying to add his or own flavor to something they like. |

I reckon a Vs. is when you do an unlicensed remix and butcher it then release it as a white label giving no royalties to the original artist ;) |

i think its because versus sounds better then featuring ;) |

My question is this. Who fucking cares? Do you actually care? Or did you just think it was an original topic that might get you some replies? Is it keeping you awake at night? Maybe it is. If it is then i apologise unreservedly. |

here we go: it's not keeping me awake at night, but I'm also interested what it really means. unlicensed remix is a pretty interesting point. I'd really like to follow this discussion without reading your stupid comments. but actually... ah, fuck it. |

I'm not saying all vs. are unlicensed remixes- a notable one that was paid for was run dmc vs. jason nevins... However, a lot of unlicensed remixes and 2 for 1 bootleg mash ups use "vs." |

no.. it's not that deep, I just thought it was kind of interesting.. did your xanex run out? |

Versus doesn't necessarily mean competition - it can indicate comparison - so you are comparing the two mixes of the track. |
