If you liked The Grey Album–a mashup of Jay-Z’s Black Album and the Beatles’ White Album–you should definitely check out The Slack Album, which combines Jay-Z with Pavement’s Slanted and Enchanted. Super-cool stuff.
Incidentally, when The Grey Album came out, I was delighted to learn that Jay-Z also calls himself “Hov’,” which has a rather different meaning in transportation circles. That discovery led me to rewrite some of the lyrics to Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement“:
My name is HOV, H to the O V
I drive cars with high occupancy
I guess even back then you could call me
So concerned with air quality. HOV!
I could probably be a bigger dork than I am, but I’m not sure how.

Actually, a couple of songs on The Slack Album are pretty bad. But there’s brilliance there as well.

Christine, I would ask which part of that post you found most disturbing, but I’m guessing the answer is “all of the above.”
Yeah, it’s not like I can pinpoint something specifically scary about that information… just a feeling of general malaise
