One of rap's most respected showmen;Jay-Z, and one of rock's most disrepected (at least around here) bands; Linkin Park, are doing a 30 minute special on MTV (your favorite station) combining talents to do reinterpretations of each others songs. I am a huge fan of both so when I saw this commercial (JayZ rapping to one of LInkin Park's songs) I was elated. It'll be on MTV Wednesday (10/10) @ 10:30 pm.
Let the bashing begin!!!:up:

thats what I thought might of happened. With Jays lyrics being far superior I knew it would easy for him to do LP's lyrics, but the other way around...

The new Handsome Boy Modeling School blows this crap out of the water. Jay has a surprise cameo and Chester and Mike from LP are on there too. Mike's part is passable but Chester blows goats all over the place.

I just found out there is an album coming out called "Collision Course" on 11/30. JayZ has done these types of duo albums before with R. Kelly (Best of Both Worlds) and remixed his last album with tracks from the Beatles "White Album". I give Jay props for doing these types of projects as it shows his range of musical talent and taste. I remember on his Diary he was listening to a wide variety of music and in an interview last year he talked about how much he loved Outkasts and Coldplay's latest albums.I appreciate how he goes further than listening to his musical choices and tries to make music with them.

i don't believe the remix of the White Album was affliated with Jay-Z or Rockafella records

The Jay-Z/Beatles remix wasn't done by him. That was Danger Mouse.
I heard "Numb/Encore" on the radio last night and I thought the flow was off. Chester's vocals seemed out of place with Mike & Jay-Z's. It just didn't work.

Yep, that slipped my mind about the JayZ/Beatles album, I just downloaded a song from Handsome Boy Modeling School (under suggestion from this forum) and I really enjoyed the song. Ill check out Numb/Encore now.

album comes out on 11/30
comes with cd and dvd (concert/behind the scenes)
having a tough time coming up with a full setlist/song list
The Collision Course DVD contains the Roxy performance plus a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of the collaboration, from their first introductions to recording to performance. The CD features studio recordings of the same song combinations that were preformed live that night.

I was doing this the whole time it was on last night :D :D :banana: :D :D! That sounds amazing how they mix those sounds, it all seems to fit rather good IMHO. I love both of these acts (probably my favs in their genres). Wow, I cant wait for the album and hope they tour summer 05. Please, tour in the summer. (Snoop toured with Linkin Park this past summer)

The one thing I didn't like was that it was almost a commerical for the cd/dvd coming out.. they played song then commerical, song then commerical... even the songs weren;t played fully through without going to a behind the scenes or rehearsal shot

it was defintiely a promotion for the cd/dvd, that aside, I still really enjoyed the small doses of what we got

i love bashing bands and crappy music but i saw this MTV show and thought it was excellent. im listening to the studio versions of these tracks and its not as good, the concert versions are better.

I saw this special over the weekend and it wasn't bad - first time I've watched MTV in a very long time. It probably didn't have the full effect on me since, although I know who Linkin Park is (my nephew's a fan), I haven't really heard much of their music before.
