In this paper‚ I am going to sample Janet Jackson’s “Got ‘til It’s Gone” featuring Joni Mitchell and Q-Tip. I am going to cut bits of the audio‚ rearrange them and piece them together with audio fragments from Boni Jovi’s tracks‚ such as “Bed of Roses” and “Bad Medicine.” “Got ‘til It’s Gone” is an alternative hip hop track with influences from trip hop and talks about lessons learnt from love and that it is good to appreciate what a person has before it is gone.
