Maybe one of MTVs greatest idea? I think that this is awesome. I don't listen to hip-hop in the least and this 'Mash-up' is getting me into rap. I personally love Linkin Park and I hardly ever listen to Jay-Z.
And I can't forget this:

What are your thoughts about this 'Mash Up' that MTV has done?

linkin parks all right not the big fan but i cant stand hip hop or rap

this collab is nothing new, Run-Dmc- Aerosmith, Anthrax- Public ENemy

I know it's not new, but I just loved the mash that happened with LP and Jay-Z

I can make better music by 'mashing' my shoe against the side of my head.

Far more enjoyable too.

Woo!! Linken Park can rap...I didn't know that...

They make a good combination .

I just happen to like both rap and rock...

I'm not that crazy about this "mash-up" because it's just like Re-animation, no new songs!

Not impressed to be honest, I don't think it's a good combination. Maybe it's cos I'm not really a fan of rap/hip hop... Maybe if they had got together with someone like DMX who has a deeper, more 'rockier' voice and who typically does louder, rockier stuff in the first place it might have worked out better.

And if they collaberate with Sean Paul or 50 Cent I will shoot the person behind it. I can't stand those two talentless, wastes of music contracts...

I heard them nd seen them on MTV I don't like them put together music sucks to me.

I agree with you. On their Reanimation CD, they just did remixes of the Hybrid Theory and that's almost like cheating on making new songs. When I heard an interview, Mike Shinoda(Linkin Park) said that this mash up was back in July, but was just for 'Underground' showings. I also heard that Jay-Z comes into the studio and makes up raps in his head without writing them down. In Linkin Park, Mike says that "It's hard for all of us to be interested in one person, but when it came down to Jay-Z, all of us liked the thought".

I think it has an interesting beat, but the two bands don't really go along great together. I mean Linkin park and Jay-Z.... kind of creepy if you ask me. I don't even think their personalities and lifestyles even go together, just another thing for publicity really.

Actually, it's not really for publicity. Mike grew up listening to rap and hip hop, that's why it's in every CD that Linkin Park will put out for the public eye. I guess he just wanted some of his past in with the Collision Course (coming out Nov.30) and all of the songs that he has done. It's just mostly that Mike really wanted a "Hip hop super star" in with all of this since now he can get some on like Jay. Just like in my post before, Jay-Z was the only one that all of Linkin Park agreed on.
If you want or need more information about this mash-up with Jay-Z and Linkin Park, go ahead and PM me. I'll try my best to answer any questions.

Just linkin park by themselves is good enough for me. With JAY-Z it was ok but nothing special!
