# Bottle-Blowing Hip Hop Mashups The Bottle Boys Create the History of Hip Hop with Empty Bottles By Jennifer Paul | Published 2014-02-10 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bottle-boys References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/02/07/hip-hop-bottles-mashup/) & [thebottleboys](http://www.thebottleboys.com/) The Bottle Boys' rendition of the history of hip hop is the best mashup I have seen in a very long time. A Danish group called ‘The Bottle Boys’ created this mashup of hip hop’s biggest songs in chronological order with the most interesting use of empty bottles you will probably ever see in your lifetime. The video begins with the boys starting from hip hop roots by covering Kurtis Blow and The Sugarhill Gang. They continue playing until they get all the way to Grammy winner Macklemore. I guarantee that this video will keep you entertained. I wish I was as talented as The Bottle Boys. This video will give you a whole new appreciation for an empty bottle and the endless possibilities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hip Hop Mashup Videos:** Creating mashup videos of hip hop songs using unconventional instruments like empty bottles. - **Unconventional Musical Instruments:** Exploring new ways to make music with everyday objects, such as empty bottles. - **Entertainment Through Unexpected Performances:** Captivating audiences by delivering unexpected performances using unconventional techniques and instruments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music Entertainment:** Incorporating innovative and unconventional musical performances as a way to engage and entertain audiences. - **Video Production:** Creating visually captivating videos that showcase unique musical performances and talents. - **Innovation in Musical Instruments:** Developing new and unconventional musical instruments and techniques to push the boundaries of music creation and performance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mixtape-Branded Cognacs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmy-martin.md) - [Hip-Hop-Celebrating Margarita Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teezo-touchdown-and-unwrp.md) - [Personalized AI Album Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-album-covers.md) - [Celebratory Hip-Hop Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphop-collaboration.md) - [Retro VHS Tape-Resembling Vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vhs-tape.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Hip Hop-Honoring Exclusive Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-shop.md) - [Rapper-Backed Libation Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-gin.md) - [Music Mashups Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mashapp-music.md)
