This is one of the most amazing hip-hop albums I've ever heard. It's actually a good argument for modern music having real artistic expression. Basically, DJ Danger Mouse took Jay-Z's swan song, "The Black album," and mixed it with the Beatles classic "The White Album" and called it "The Grey Album" (Rolling Stone review). Other than Jay's rapping, not one sound on that record comes from anywhere other than The White Album. Only 3000 copies of the original exist, and EMI has pretty much destroyed any chance of there being more copies, but it's available for download FROM THIS PAGE (right-click and "save as" each one of those songs, kids). Also, this tuesday is being called "Grey Tuesday" (follow that link for more info). If you love music, you really have to get this album. Seriously. I've just listened to it four times in a row and am still completely in awe of it. I'm gonna have to check Jay's original version now just to see what his vision was before Paul and John had their say.

(btw, if you aren't hip enough to appreciate The Grey Album album think about this: When I heard this album I thought to myself "My mom is gonna love this!")
