Did anybody check the Grey Album?

[RigorMortis]

In November of 1968 The Beatles released 'The White Album'....

In November of 2003 Jay-Z released 'The Black Album'....

Now, Producer and DJ - Danger Mouse, Presents....

' THE GREY ALBUM '

The Grey Album is an art project/experiment that uses the full vocal content of Jay-Z's Black Album recorded over new beats and production made using the Beatles White Album as the sole source material. Danger Mouse insists he can explain and prove that all the music on the Grey Album can be traced back to the White Album and its musical content via sampling. Every kick, snare, and chord is taken from the Beatles White Album and is in their original recording somwhere.

This Incredible re-interpretation will be one to look out for and will be made available through the internet and select record stores worldwide aroun Feb/March of 2004. The resulting record is a unique hybrid of work from one of hip-hop's fastest rising production stars via two of the most important musical and cultural forces ever.

In an incredible year, Danger Mouse has already received critical acclaim from his status as the Producer and DJ of the DM & Jemini duo. His work on their 'Ghetto Pop Life' debut showcased his enormous potential and 2004 will see Danger Mouse involved in several further projects.

Both the Beatles own remix project ('Let It Be... Naked') and Jay-Z's retirement Black Album are in stores now. At the time of writing, neither Jay-Z nor The Beatles were available for comment.

I like the album (GPL) he did with Jemini but I havent checked this one yet, I havent checked Jay Z's black album cos I dont really care what Z does, even if he makes a leap back into the underground, the dude anoyes me hehe.

I think a skilled producer like dangermouse shouldnt waste his beats on remixing Z, cause since GPL he is more able to work with some skilled mcs/crews in hiphop and take advantage of that..

The Grey Album

Have y'all heard the Grey Album (Jay-Z rhyming over beats made from the Beatles White Album)? I was wondering what you thought of it? If you haven't heard it yet, here's a site you can download it from.

[dr_fr3sh]

i think the grey album is hot. of all the tracks on there i only thought 2 of em were corny. i like the concept and the ambitiousness of the album. definately something for the collection...

 

[Guevara]

i LiKE iT, AND iM NoT EVEN A JAY-Z FAN, i FoUND MYSELF BoPPiNG To THiS, PUBLiC SERViCE ANoUNCEMENT WAS THE HoTTEST BEAT, CAN i GET THE iNSTRUMENTAL VERSiON ANYWHERE???

 

[dr_fr3sh]

i havent heard of an instrumental version...but i wouldnt be surprised if there was one out there...

it would be pretty hot...

 

[Chrono]

i agree with part of what dr fr3sh said about the concept and ambition.. but i wasn't feeling it. and considering he didn't have authority to use the beatles music.. it now seems like a waste of time. Did i said waste of time??? cause before this i didn't even know who Dangermouse was.. I mean outside of Hannah Barbarra. can anyone say PR Attempt
