Jay-Z + Radiohead = Jaydiohead

Just when you thought we left blends and mashups behind in 2004, some dude named Minty Fresh has gone and merged Jay-Z a cappellas with Radiohead instrumentals. “No Hook” meets “Karma Police”; “Lucifer” meets “Jigsaw Falling Into Place”; “Dirt off Your Shoulder” meets “Paranoid Android”; etc. Some of these are dope (”Wrong Prayer”), but the bad ones are really bad (Jay-Z rhyming offbeat on “Fall In Step”?). Give it a listen and let me know if it’s yea or nay.

Jaydiohead

Lame ass. . . Check out Viva la Hova if you want a bangin Jay-Z remix. Coldplay may blow, but that shit is fuckin fantastic.

Coming from a big fan of Jay and Radiohead, this was pretty forgettable. Unlike most good mixes, there’s really no effort that goes past throwing Jay-Z vocals over untouched Radiohead beats, with nothing done to alter anything into cohesion.

Girl Talk gets it done. Feed The Animals still gets major rotation at my house.

You’re kidding right? I mean, I don’t love the thing in whole, but there are tracks with redone instrumentation and changed tempos. Don’t drop words like “untouched” without listening to the whole album – that shit is dangerous.

^^But that’s my point exactly. Jay-Z would typically rhyme on beat, but sloppy mashup has him rhyming off beat. You do know that I said in the post that Jay-Z had nothing to do with this, right?

“some dude named Minty Fresh has gone and merged Jay-Z a cappellas with Radiohead instrumentals.”

I didn’t mean to confuse you.
