A groundbreaking, revolutionary release which took the concept of illegal art to the next level. What we have here is a collision course between two defining acts of their times, The Beatles and Jay-Z, who prove the diversity of defining genius. The newfound contexts of Jigga's lyrics not only work in a shockingly seamless fashion, but leave the listener wondering why on earth hip-hop producers hadn't looked into the Lennon/McCartney catalogue for samples before- "What More Can I Say" and "December 4" are especially brilliant creations. In terms of not only hip-hop, but sampling, mash-ups and recomposition, this is a triumphant release.

I was pumped to hear DJ Danger Mouse has a solo album. I was suggested to hear this guy by some Sputnik member. The beats are definitely amazing, but Jay-Z ruined it for me. He's got skill, yes, but his voice gets terribly anonying after about 3 tracks. Not to mention, his lyrics are WAY too "self-promoting". If you're truly "gansta" or "hard", then you shouldn't have to mention it in every fuckin song! Man, if it wasn't for the amazing beats in this album, I would have lost a lot of respect to Danger Mouse, and I DO NOT want that to happen. Dude's amazing, and I'm highly anticipating his next work..or maybe a solo album? That'd be great. Danger Mouse should do an album with Mos Def. That'd be an album I'd buy...
