Product Description

Mash-ups — two songs stuck together that were never meant to be stuck together — have their roots in the bedrooms and basements of computer-savvy music geeks who spend countless hours sticking Christina Aguilera's vocals over the Strokes' chugging backbeat or Missy Elliott's raps over George Michael, Joy Division, the Cure, and about a thousand others. MP3s were the medium of choice, white-label 12"s a distant second. It seemed like it was time to put a fork in the pranky genre when collections like The Best Bootlegs in the World Ever and Soulwax's As Heard on Radio Soulwax series exposed the mash-up to a wider audience, but then Danger Mouse came along. His headline-making Grey Album — Jay-Z's Black Album versus the Beatles' White Album — inspired a ton of spirited imitations, and most likely the MTV-spawned, artists-involved Collision Course. The fact that the artists are involved with the project totally goes against the mash-up philosophy, but luckily Linkin Park — who are revealed through the DVD as the main architects of the EP — have that pop-loving prankster spirit and don't let their high-profile, well-funded life ruin it. The liner notes talk of a "once-in-a-lifetime performance" and "music history," but Collision Course is just plain old fun and all the better because of it. Jay-Z's "Dirt off Your Shoulder" sits nicely on top of Linkin Park's "Lying From You" on the CD's studio version, but it's the fist-pumping live version on the DVD that really justifies Collision Course's existence. The Z-Man — who's "retired" from the rap game while being busier than ever — has had his excellent "99 Problems" rocked up before, so the version here with Linkin Park's "Points of Authority" and "One Step Closer" isn't so much the revelation the liner-note hyperbole makes it out to be, but it's got an awesome beat and you can still dance to it.

投稿日：2006/07/17 (月)

Ｊａｙ-Ｚはこれまでリリースした自身のオリジナルアルバム（８枚）のほとんどは全米だけでも最低２００万枚以上、多いモノでも５００万枚以上、コンスタントに売ってる超大物。でもこの作品を聞いて、結果的に得したのはＪａｙ-Ｚの方だと個人的には感じた。ようするにリンキンの原曲の良さで、Ｊａｙの曲の部分が良い方向に引き立っているという事。Ｌｉｎｋｉｎファンには不評なのも分かるが、ＪａｙーＺファンにはイイ感じで聞けるのでは？。
