DJ Dangermouse - Moment of Clarity (Grey Album)

[BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

DO NOT WANT O.O

[StarSawPHD]

there should be a remix of reminder where jayz said "nobody better than me, only the beatles"

[MrLogic561]

@imaDUCKIE1 According to wiki your wrong. "The Grey Album gained notoriety due to the response by EMI in attempting to halt its distribution, despite the fact that both Jay-Z and Sir Paul McCartney said they felt fine with the project." (+) "Jay-Z's material, on the other hand, was commercially released in a cappella form. Although that work was copyrighted, it was released for the implicit purpose of encouraging mashups and remixes."

[captainphoenix]

anybody else catch the dark side reference?

[BrooklynJEW7]

I like Jay Z and I like the beatles. So for me, I like this project regardless of if anyone says "Forget jayz, the Beatles are the best" or vice versa

[imaDUCKIE1]

Just to clarify; Jay-Z DID in fact sue the guy who made "the grey" album, but the guy got off of it because he agreed to give it out for free so he can't make money off it. This is an amazing album, and it's something to greatly appreciate.

[BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

@imaDUCKIE1 Really? I heard Jay-Z liked the album and so did Paul.

[likenem]

Say what you want about jay-z he will try to help any body out in the game and work with anyone weather the original track produced by eminem, the shout out to talib Kweli or the fact he didn't sew the shit out danger mouse. Partially because this album is dope as fuck

[GeometryInStatic]

@likenem I have no clue if Jay-Z knows how to sew, but the reason he doesn't "sue" Danger Mouse is because he released the a capella version of this album for people to use for remixes and mash-ups.

[likenem]

@GeometryInStatic I thought danger mouse got a cease and desist letter and your garmer natzi yuo fukcing batsrd lol

[MixiFighter]

I don't really care for JayZ and I've never been a big beatles fan but DAMN im feelin this album!!

[ARMANIdunt]

anybody got this instrumental?

[AtomicFuse1]

I'll stick to The Beatles thanks.

[JohnTheLegendary]

beatles revolver and enter the 36 chambers next... yeah!

[globeadiozumiez]

heroin is bad for you.

[GeoVII]

I actually agree with octopussy. This album isn't perfect, it was never meant to be. Dangermouse only did it to prove he could. It was an artistic venture and not so much a musical one. In that regard, he succeeded brilliantly. The music is secondary to the concept. This album is important because it changed the way we look at music entirely, not because it created brilliant music.

[jbattles423]

@GeoVII real shit

[jimih64]

@GeoVII "it changed the way we look at music entirely" wtf? No it didn't. People have been doing cross-genre mashups for decades dude.

[jerz211]

@jimih64 i think GeoVII meant because of the history behind this album.... There was a huge protest in 2004 because EMI (the recording label) sent a legal threat to DJ Dangermouse to cease the distribution of this album...The public started mass distributing the album in Feb of 2004 to protest against it... this album revolutionized and changed our views about what music could be, whether as mashup or as a lone recording..

[MrMrdswoods]

@GeoVII YEA BOI YEA DOGG I HEARD DAT I BEEN TO PRISON AND SHITS SO I KNO WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON AND YEA HE ALL LIEK TRYIN TO BE AN ARTIST AND WHUTKNOT NOT A MUSICIN ALL LIKE BEIN AN REMIXER NOT A RAPPER SO FUCK THAT SHIT RESPECT

[other6people]

boards of canada - moment of clarity

[memyselfandi2311]

Danger Mouse is a genious

[ChUcKBThe13tH]

yea the whole cd might not be perfected but this track is FIRE

[jamarco31]

it took me a while unitl i found out the beat was happiness is a warm gun

[D3P02]

damn jayz head big as hell in tht picture

[hedoniaB]

I will disagree. I am not a JayZ fan, I am not a Beatles fan. I do not like rap, and even I can say that this album was a work of great ambition, and that the product is something to be admired.

[cameron829sm]

@hedoniaB i could see not liking jay z...

but you don't like THE BEATLES?!?!

but i do agree with you, danger mouse is a beast!

[YanksFan162]

@hedoniaB why the hell are you not a beatles fan

[zero00009012]

This is some artwork. I know people that hate rap that love this shit. Are you not listenin to this or are you just a hater

[octopussy6814]

I'm listening. Technically most of this album was poor. The drums are generally over compressed and sound garbled. The tracks were literally rushed and forced to fit: some of the vocal tracks aren't timed properly and there is a lot of random mixing and scratching that usually dosent fit the theme of each respective track. I even know that danger mouse himself thinks the same way! His music has improved sooo much since this popular album. However there are 2 amazing tracks!

[ykifle]

NPR named this one of the most important recordings of the decade

[me24546]

it seems like this was kind of a pointless album...

[blazian1011]

i actually like these instrumentals better than the original...jay good at rapping but his beats....damn

[lowlypeasant]

yeah, its the beatles man.  what do you expect?

[y8c616]

Its nice to hear a Beatles song with a good vocalist

[PicciProductions]

Yea I know, they're all like that. Too bad this one doesn't have one

[jaypt5281982]

how do i get this?

[Durantk01]

To me the chorus doesnt fit well but overall, good.

[Lovejoyfanatic]

HEART THIS SONG!

[danstefl]

THIS IS GOOD SHIT

[agentzer00]

i'd like to meet the motherfucker that named it "Fashion Bug" and shove a broom up his ass!

[nightpwner]

fashion bug? wats that?

[VolvoRox]

@agentzer00 Lmfao, Tourrettes Guy!

[BethJill]

@agentzer00 I don't care that it's been two years. This comment is epic to this day.

[SusanoTengu]

@agentzer00 FUCK SALT

[akaMarkavelli]

Love this fuckin album, fuck Apple (not the computer company, the record company that owns the Beatles) for suing Dangermouse. Fuckin classic shit.

[losrchild16]

psht, good for apple! jay z treated the beatles fantastic music as his fucking toilet paper. not fucking right.

[goonerballs]

what are you talking about? the beatles couldntve been mixed by a better dj.. and good for apple??? ya now some rich suit made more money he doesnt need just because a musician sampled another musicians tracks.. that happens all the time

[kainjinn]

i give mad props to Jay z the money hungey people that owns the white album SUED danger mouse over this and Jay z said this was pure genius

[secondeagle]

Listen to this once and only once, both you and akaMarkavelli. Paul McCartney, the remaining Beatle with talent, had no problem with the album. He performed with Jay-Z and Linkin Park to show that he did not approve of Apple's actions. Paul is one of the earliest remixers in the business (look up his stuff with the Fireman or Twin Freaks), so he knows what goes into the making of an album like that. Point of fact, he enjoyed it, but legally he's not allowed to take that stance. Don't mix b w/ p.

[rogerklotz89]

Jay-Z and The Beatles go together like Ice Cream and Spaghetti. both are great but trying to enjoy both at the same time is not a motherfuckin option it tastes and sounds like shit

[elijahykim]

you obviously have no idea who dangermouse is. you obviously have no idea what music is

[CallMeSoap]

It doesnt matter if the dude knows who danger mouse is. So what if he doesnt enjoy it, doesnt me he doesnt know what music is.

[rogerklotz89]

ThankYou soap

[rogerklotz89]

totally...i def think he should take the Blueprint and remix it to Sgt Pepper next
