The Boston Globe is running a piece on DJ Danger Mouse’s mash-up Grey Album.
In what has to be the most intriguing hip-hop album in recent memory, Danger Mouse, a DJ and producer, has married a cappella tracks from rapper Jay-Z’s 2003 CD, “The Black Album,” to musical beats and phrases found on the Beatles’ 1968 offering, commonly known as “The White Album” — hence the title, “The Grey Album.”
Update:
MTV is reporting that DJ Danger Mouse is b-u-s-t-e-d. Cease and desist order goes out. Hopefully EMI, RIAA, et al will go easy on the guy. See what you get for being creative?
