Over the past ten years mash ups have made their dent in Hip Hop. A producer intertwines two or more artists into one seamless track. Some music purists think this mating of tracks produce some mongoloid bastard race of music that is similar to the offspring of two cousins. But to the average listener it sounds good enough.
No artist comes to mind that has been "mashed" more than Jay-Z. Danger Mouse, RJD2, and 9th Wonder have all given their take on the Black Album. Now you can add Max Tannone to the list of producers who have put their twist on Jay's songs. Tannone paired Jay-Z and Radiohead into some sort of Frankenstein that is Jaydiohead. It is no Grey album, but it gives a fresh feel to some of Jay's songs. For those of you who are not into the melancholy/gangster/CEO vibe of Jaydiohead I suggest you check out Mos Dub, Tannone's new project where he lays Mos Def over some layed back reggae tunes (pretty much The Harder They Come soundtrack). I could not find any Mos Dub videos, but you can download both mixes by clicking on the links below.
