 | | The Grey Album released in 2004 was a controversial album by DJ Danger Mouse. | | | The Internet release of the Grey Album spurred a series of copycat DJs to mix the acapella version of the Black Album with a variety of other artists, including Weezer ("Mike"'s The Black and Blue Album) and Pavement ("Dj N-Wee"'s The Slack Album). | | | The album, which DJ Danger Mouse released privately, created a massive amount of controversy as EMI, the White Album's copyright holder, never granted Mouse permission to use the Beatles' material. |

| | The album opens with "Public Service Announcement," which incorporates elements from "Long, long, long" and "Mother Nature's Son." The vocals are mainly Jay-Z's and the samples used on the album, but there are the occasional clipped vocals or sigh of Lennon or McCartney (true of the entire album). | | | DJ Danger Mouse solves at least part of the problem with the Black Album, undertaking an ambitious remix of the entire album using tracks from the Beatle's psychedelic masterpiece, the White Album (thus the Grey Album, get it?). | | | By using Beatles tracks DM infuses the album with a far more rocking feel. |

| | The instrumental tracks on The Black Album invariably are better suited to their respective songs, because the tracks were made with the songs in mind. | | | The Grey Album is about execution of concept, about reinvention; The Black Album is simply about making an artistically viable commercial hip-hop album, and most will concede that it accomplishes this. | | | Finally, a handful of The Grey Album's tracks are just as essential here as they are on The Black Album. |

| | Most of the songs on the The Grey Album use guitar and/or vocal samples from only one Beatles tune, although the beats are all from various songs from The White Album. | | | In December, when he heard Jay-Z was releasing an a cappella version of The Black Album for remixers, he came up with a crazy idea to blend it with the Beatles' famous The White Album and make The Grey Album (see "Remixers Turn Jay-Z's Black Album Grey, White And Brown"). | | | Since the music is so picked apart, Burton decided to begin some of the songs on The Grey Album with an unaltered, longer sample from The White Album song that provided the primary parts for the remix. |
