    anybody else heard of this

    it's a combo recordingby DJ Danger Mouse using the music and beats of the Beatles White album and the lyrics of Jay Z's Black album

    however EMI have banned it as they are not giving permission for the Beatles stuff to be used

    try http://www.greytuesday.org/

    to find out more and download it

    I think it's a clever idea...but it's all hype. Not well executed at all.

    I thought it was pretty good. Some of the crappy tracks from Black album, like that stupid "change clothes" song, are far more bearable. Overall I would compare it favorably.

    There's quite a few remix versions of the Black Album:

    The Grey Album
    The Brown Album (Mixed by Kevin Brown)
    The White Album

    Some mroe I think, but I can't remember them.

    I finally got around to finding and listening to this. All in all I like what I've heard.

    I also found this video clip from DJ Danger Mouse showing how he put the album together. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1485693/20040311/jay_z.jhtml?headlines=true

    Very excited about this, have listened to a few songs and it sounds great. This is one of my all time favorite albums.

    I remember being really excited for this project, Jay-Z is my favorite rapper of all time and The Beatles are my favorite rock group of all time, but this just didn't work well. It wasn't terrible, but not iPod worthy.
