...and while you still can.
Some DJ (DJ Danger Mouse, for those of you keeping score) has taken Jay Z's Black Album and Mixed it with The Beatles' White Album. The result? The Grey Album. An amazing mix of rock and rap that transcends what we usually hear in the form of sampling and sounds way ahead of its time.
Danger Mouse put it together as a tribute and pressed 3,000 copies for friends in the industry who he thought would enjoy it. It has turned into a huge underground hit. Problem is, EMI wants to put an end to it even though Danger Mouse isn't profitting from it. Whatever.
I have it and have listened to it. It is already one of my favorites.

PS - I have a few friends who went out to buy the White Album based on what they heard in the remixes because they were so impressed. (It sounds weird, but a lot of people have zero interest in the Beatles.) I think it's kind of cool that people are using the Grey Album to open their minds about something they wouldn't normally.
PPS - There is also a Brown Album which mixes the Black Album with a bunch of Jazz riffs. I'm still looking for this one.
