dj dangermouse’s the grey album, a remix of the beatles’ white album and jay-z’s the black album is pretty great. i don’t really listen to hiphop much either. you should be able to find it online somewhere – illegal-art.org had it.

i find it humorous that EMI’s cease and desist served little more than PR, creating even more demand for the album. this, you can argue, creates demand for all of jay-z’s albums in turn, since PR is PR. that demand feeds the coffers of the record companies, who pay out the majority of it to their copyright-crazy execs and legions of lawyers (who created the PR firestorm and directly benefit from it through billable hours).

so in a really sick and twisted way, everybody wins.
