Hip Hop fans may be interested to know that today is known as “Grey Tuesday: an online protest for copyright reform” and DJ Danger Mouse has released his album online.

“The Grey Album is an art project/experiment that uses the full vocal content of Jay-Z’s Black Album recorded over new beats and production made using the Beatles White Album as the sole source material. Danger Mouse insists he can explain and prove that all the music on the Grey Album can be traced back to the White Album and its musical content via sampling. Every kick, snare, and chord is taken from the Beatles White Album and is in their original recording somwhere.”

It sounds interesting.

Google will find a download site.

Thanks—that article’s a little more informative. I just heard about it second hand (a friend of a friend, etc etc) and it looks like my version was a little lacking.
