It also lets kids who never knew the song give it a whole new life with this mash-up. I love it. I\u2019m having fun with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Perry doesn\u2019t usually dabble in mashups, she immediately saw the appeal of the viral remix. Talks between her and Minaj moved quickly toward a possible studio version. However, geography got in the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe (Minaj) was in New York and we were going to try to do our own and I was like \u2018Let\u2019s just end this with her and I,&#8217;\u201d Perry explained. \u201cLet\u2019s just put a kibosh on this. But, I can\u2019t go to New York and she can\u2019t come to L.A., so it\u2019s probably not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perry, known for her analog approach to music-making, refused to compromise on her process. She prefers working in person and ruled out digital file swapping, which ultimately blocked the collaboration from moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the setback, the viral success of the mashup has drawn attention from other stars.<\/p>\n<p>Perry recently worked with Jennifer Lopez on another version of the trend, proving the song\u2019s lasting cultural impact and its ability to cross genres and generations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JLO and Non Blondes Member Linda Perry Jump on the \u201cBeez In The Trap\u201d Challenge\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cq8bb-iISGw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s Up?\u201d has seen several revivals over the past 30 years, but this TikTok-fueled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/en\/trending\/detail\/whats-up-trend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resurgence<\/a> has pushed the track into a new space\u2014bridging \u201990s rock with modern Hip-Hop and introducing it to younger audiences who weren\u2019t even born when it first dropped.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/nicki-minaj-loses-viral-whats-up-remix-opportunity-linda-perry\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicki Minaj and Linda Perry\u2019s attempt to record a TikTok-fueled remix of \u201cWhat\u2019s Up?\u201d ended before it started.
