Play View Linkin Park's page on Rhapsody

When DJ mash-ups appeared a few years back, they were all about linking strange bedfellows -- Nirvana and Destiny's Child, the Strokes and Christina. The best ones made you hear something new in both songs involved -- which Collision Course does only in snatches. Billed as the first commercially released mash-up record, this six-song EP is well-constructed: The mix of brassy rhymes and heavy electro-rock on "Big Pimpin'/Papercut" and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You" -- featuring new verses and music from the band and Jay -- is way more interesting than most rap metal. But too often Jay's world-class flow leaves Linkin Park in the dust, and the juxtapositions are pure novelties and less fun than they should be. If Jay really needed another batch of out-there beats, he only had to hit up Timbaland again.

these critics are pieces of shit! there isnt a need to criticize linkin park. then and jay z are pretty equal if u ask me except that hes been around longer. and also, why is it that all these popstars get albums with rave reviews and bans that actually deserve the credit get bit in the dust!!! the world is getting sucked into this pop culture which is so pathetic cuz that kind of music is really annoying!
