something i just came accross. dj danger mouse mixed Jay-Z's Black Album and The Beatles White Album. it's actually started a bit of contraversy over copyright law and such. you can download it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shitty...don't like that stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

woops, looks like i double posted this topic somehow.. anyway, i've been listening to this album, and its pretty hot. a bit muddy but still good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have just downloded tracks 'Moment of Clarity' and 'December 4th' , I like the December 4th instruments and some of the lyrics, but I'm not to big on rap. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
very digestable mainstream. nice and recognizing the samples increases the fun |
||||||||
|
|

jon lennon fucking loved rap though. maxwell was a thug and his silver hammer was his glock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
been listening to this all morning. i can't really say if i like it yet. the sound quality is really muddy. but it's aiight. aiiight? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is really important you guys everyone is fighting over it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh, i'm not really sure dj dangermouse should be able to sell this, it's not really his music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

He can't. That is the point, he was handed a cease and desist order by EMI to stop distribution. As a result he has just told everyone to download it via p2p and it has been made available on some websites who are refusing to accept the cease order. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also it has created a much bigger buzz than it probably deserves...although it's not bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i understand he can't, i'm saying even morally I would like to stand up for the little guy but i'm not really sure he has intellectual property rights here.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not only did they want him to stop making them, they wanted the stores to destroy every copy already made |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's not great. the sound quality is really mushy. its an interesting concept but it could have been better executed. it just sounds like he cut out a few loops and squished in some jay-z. and his loop cutting/sequencing is not impressive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not about the money, it's about EMI trying to supress music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Interesting... Rap was hardly big during or before 1980. |
||||||||
|

Well the hiphop remix album is a major thing these days, there are about 4 different versions of Jay-Z's Black Album. I think the use of samples from the white album is nothing more than a gimmik though...my understanding is that he has just taken snare hits and stuff, not chunks of material and constructed the album from that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
naw he's sampled beatles vox and guitars. its very recognizable. but gimmiky i agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its "grey"-t! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I've heard a few tracks. It sounds passable because I'm not really sure what has been sampled from The Beatles and what hasn't.. To be honest, this needs a few things: Better production Equal inclusion of samples from each source and To be done once using choice cuts from either album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the mastering sucks. somebody should remaster it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably not just emi.. i doubt paul mcfuckingcartney* is happy about it either. *i only say that because i think it was a bit cuntish of him to rewrite the beatles inlays to read "mcartney & lennon" instead of "lennon & mcartney" on the writing credits. seems rather bitter to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, because he needs the money aswell. i bet hopalong told him to do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha hopalong.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*downloading now* i been hearing so much, my curiosity is piqued now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I downloaded it as well. it made me realise how bad jay-z is if nothing else. Why couldn't Dangermouse have done it with my all time hip-hop-hero and unofficial king of bling, Slick Rick? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because he needed to mix a black and white album. he shouldve done metallicas black album and beatles white album |
