We had Fergie looking glamorous, and Danity Kane showstopping, but here we find an anti-ringtone anthem for the street mistresses. on the sleeve.” Danger Mouse flipped “O’s the opposite with Orphan Annie,” the beautiful b in the back of the ‘Bach. In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin, with a boss bitch of course S.C. While the “ Sexy, Sexy” mix finds our dear Prudence de-robing and changing clothes, we also find Danger Mouse’s ode to the inner-pimp in every don diva as “ Dirt Off Your Shoulder” rides over “ Julia.” Verse by verse the beat-backed shift in perspective is Julia’s ghetto story, Hov and his white girl breaking from the kitchen and the cult of domesticity to the kingpin’s throne “Your homey Hov’ in position, in the kitchen with soda… Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling. The Grey Album‘s fusion gives precedence to the undertones, and the tracklisting – even if only in title alone – adds immense depth to the original tracks. The Beatles act as a backing band, the stage upon which Jay-Z performs best as a generational iconography, The Beatles’ presence on The Grey Album gives context to the cultural icon as the proverbial shoulders upon which he strides. While Jay-Z is the sole voice telling the tales through a capella samples The Beatles are the enveloping atmosphere giving sentiment to the semantics, melodically giving new meaning to Carter’s message. There is no true dominance here, it’s all about perspective: prominence versus constants.

Danger Mouse finds a perfect harmonic balance between the two pieces. Lyrically, Jay-Z is at the forefront however, The Beatles are far from fallen back. The mash-up flips the roles and sees Hov’s requiem lyrics as a renaissance. It is a hybrid of two artistic absolutes: Jay-Z’s Black Album as the pitch black to which he faded – the close to a career, the retirement, the sendoff, the assumed end The Beatles’ White Album as their rebirth – the first album after the death of their manager Brian Epstein, and the first album on their own record label Apple – donning a pure white album cover with nothing but “The BEATLES” in black. The Grey Album is a cultural reflection and blueprint.

Burton blurs the lines and illuminates the bonds between good and d’evil to create a gritty grey area – platinum records sans the shine. The Grey Album is a cataclysmic crux of two epic absolutes: The Beatles’ White Album and Jay-Z’s Black Album with the rhapsodic rodent at the helm. Venturing out of the kaleidoscopic Amazon that was M.I.A.’s Arularwe find ourselves at the concrete crossroads between Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects and London’s Abbey Road with DJ Danger Mouse’s brilliant return to basics, the masterful Jay-Z versus Beatles mash-up, The Grey Album.
