response

In music, a call and response is a series of two parts usually played or sung by different musicians. The second part is heard as a comment about or an answer to what the first has sung. This mimics or makes fun of how people talk back and forth to each other.

This is when an artist records a song that is an answer to a song recorded earlier. Sometimes it's because the two artists had dated in the past and were sniping at one another, sometimes it was because they felt the song was wrong, sometimes it was because they felt the story needed to go on.

Call and response is a musical form in which one musical phrase is followed by a second musical phrase, generally in the form of a question and answer. A musical phrase is like a sentence. This can be vocal, instrumental or a combination of both.

Call and response is a form of interaction between a speaker and an audience in which the speaker's statements ("calls") are punctuated by responses from the listeners. This form is also used in music, where it falls under the general category of antiphony.

So, for example, a teacher may call out “1, 2, 3, eyes on me,” and students know to stop what they're doing and respond with “1, 2, eyes on you.” Not only does it capture students' attention, but it refocuses them on the process of responding.

According to The Norton Anthology of African-American Literature, call-and-response is: (an) oral musical pattern of West African origin in which a leader sings or speaks and is followed by the response of a related group; the response may echo fragments of the leader's structure or words.

The idea is simple: a statement is made or a question asked, and the response or answer follows. Sometimes the response is simply a repetition of the leader's call, and sometimes it's a traditional statement of affirmation. You hear this in music of all kinds, but most notably in the blues.
