The instrumentation changes and almost goes away from the beat of the original song in the cover song. Nelly uses multiple singers which is heard in both pieces but in different ways. In the initial piece the audience can hear the main singers voice(Nelly) which is backed up by different voices in the background. The cover opens with three voices being heard singing the same words in almost harmonic tone. This distinction causes the change in sound we hear towards the beginning of the cover piece. Although much mechanical voice alterations weren&#8217;t done to the voices of the singers, their voices still seemed to resonate and &#8220;reticulate the human voice&#8221; by allowing the rhythm to be paired with the lyrics of the song (Weheliye 516). Weheliyye describes how the machines used to effect the vocal presentation of a song can help emphasize the meaning of the song by adding non human effects to specific words and phrases. The song &#8220;Ride With Me&#8221;, by Nelly, uses little to no machines to edit the voice, but the use of the beat and unique sounds that resonate with the ear help create that dramatic emphasis on the different repetitive phrases such as &#8220;oh why do I live this way?&#8221; that parallels with the beat of the music. We use this example to highlight how the author, Nelly, uses his beats and instrumentation in the original to add flow to the words while the cover is seen to sometimes go off beat with its words which creates the conflict of focus on whether the audience should be focused on the lyrics or the background music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When listening to the two pieces, the audience quickly draws their attention to the changes in rhythm and style.
