Danger Mouse Unveils 'The Grey Album'

DJ and producer Danger Mouse (of rap duo DM & Jemini) has unveiled his new 'Grey Album' to the press.
Taking the vocals from Jay Z's 'Black Album' and mixing them with the music from The Beatles' 'White Album', DM admits that whilst the music isn't instantly obvious as being the work of the Fab Four, all the music is sampled from the legendary album.
The album will be available from specialist hip hop stores in March.

Wouldn't it have been infinitely more entertaining to mix Metallica's black album with the white album?-

More of a Rick Rubin project, surely?
DM kicks ass - no doubt this album is funny as f*ck. -

the tracks are hotter than the ones on the black album -
Re: Danger Mouse Unveils 'The Grey Album'
you make no sense. this is hip-hop. why would he mix two rock records together? the point is to blend genre's, not two styles in the same genre

Appalling, simply appalling. The Beatles and Jay-Z? Disgusting. How could he do this? Danger Mouse has some serious issues. What was he smoking? Drugs, booties, and hoes over tracks like "Happiness is a Warm Gun" and "Piggies"????? It's just not right!!-
Re: Danger Mouse Unveils 'The Grey Album'
Actually I think it's a really good idea. Alright, he might not be the most imaginative guy around, but Jay-Z is fundamentally a very talented emcee and that comes accross over DM's Beatles beats (which themselves work surprisingly well) - on the original "Black Album" tracks he sounds so dull because the beats are so run-of-the-mill.
It looks like a novelty idea - and maybe, in places, it sounds like one - but there's actually some really good moments on it. I can see DM's beats scaling the charts - in fact, I can see DM & Jemini making the next "Hey Ya!", which can only be a good thing.

i heard the album in its entirety and i gotta say that it really is some genius production. watch out for encore, threat, & change clothes as some of the better material on the LP. 420. -

Re: Danger Mouse Unveils 'The Grey Album'
He was ordered to stop pressing and distributing the records yesterday. According to posts on the Non-Prophets boards, Ebay are removing the item from their listings.
Since he only put out 3000 copies of the album, he doesn't anticipate being sued. EMI's attitude toward a project which (due to its nature and scale) is hardly likely to affect their royalties is disappointing but - let's face it - hardly surprising.

Whether you like the style or not, whether you agree with what he has done artistically this is an aside. The recording industry is dead, it's fucked, it's ruled by grey suited accountants and lawyers.
As for getting withdrawn.... to late it's on the net. RIAA, EMI and the like are dinosaurs, there is nothing they can do, their world IS crumbling. Step aside guys and let the kids sing. -
