The concept is really clever, but when you are using Jay-Z's actual raps you can only make something so good. I personally cannot listen to more than a minute or two of it. Their are dozens of better mash-ups out there and you can create your own (even legal ones like DJ Shadow's mashup of "Six Day War" and the B-52's "52 girls" are light-years better) .
Your audio tolerance may vary.

P. S. I got my class action check for music consumers yesterday. $13.++! Woo HOO!

[this is from Carrie McLaren, editor of Stay Free!] Ah, the saga of DJ Dangermouse continues. EMI sent out a cease and desist notice to Stay Free!/Illegal Art and about 150 other websites this week, claiming "willful violation of [copyright] laws." EMI wanted to prevent Grey Tuesday, an online protest of Capitol's attempt to squash Dangermouse's "Grey Album," from taking place. The New York Times article below has the crucial background info.
