The GREY ALBUM is a mashupalbum by Danger Mouse, released in 2004. It mixes an a cappellaversion of rapper Jay Z’s The Black Album with samples from The Beatle’s self-titled ninth album, commonly known as “The White Album”. The Grey Album gained notoriety when EMI attempted to halt its distribution despite approval of the project from Jay-Z and the two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
History
Danger Mouse created The Grey Album as an experimental project intended for a limited 3,000-copy release in February 2004. While Danger Mouse never asked permission to use the Beatles’ material, Jay Z’s a cappella recordings, though copyrighted, were released commercially for the purpose of encouraging mashups and remixes. A buzz around the album resulted in wider Internet distribution and media attention garnering a glowing review in the February 9, 2004 issue of The New Yorker. The Grey Album was named the best album of 2004 by Entertainment Weekly and ranked #10 in The Village Voice‘s annual Pazz and Jop critics poll.
