What I mean by that is DJ Danger Mouse released it for free and I also think its one of the better free Hip-Hop albums you can find anywhere on the internet, and overall it sounds cool but for some reason I am not entirely feeling the melding of 1960's Peace + Love whimsy added to Jay-Z's flows like some other people are. I like the fact that this project has heart. Its like with this Record Danger mouse proved he could make an entirely new work out of two separate albums and have it work out well enough to where the end result is listenable but I don't think that if I was someone that heard the Grey Album first that it would make me necessarily want to go as quickly as I could to try the music of The Beatles and when I think about it maybe that isn't a bad thing when we consider how much they've already been played all over Classic Rock radio stations and from the record collections of people who are my dad's age. I felt like during many of the tracks the way the White Album samples were incorporated into Jay-Z's flows had a way of almost making the original spirit and musical contexts they were taken from feel less hallowed.
