The Grey Album - Danger Mouse
Element 1: The Black Album - Jay-Z Element 2: The White Album - The Beatles Equals: The Grey Album Artist: Danger Mouse The Grey Album is a prime example of a mash up masterpiece. Hip-hop artist and producer Danger Mouse used the lyrics from Jay-Z's The Black Album and mixed them with the music from The Beatles' The White Album. The result is an incredibly well produced pop album. The album was (illegally) downloaded over one million times in one day and triggered an avalanche of law suits which seem to have to (officially) have been won by the record companies as The Grey Album is not available for download anywhere on Danger Mouse's site. The album is however available from many other online sources (try Banned Music or Illegal Art for starters).
