The Forum Endorses The Stars and Stripes Project

 

The White Stripes + Hip Hop = Dream Come True.

Musical genius Adrian Champion took White Stripes songs and mashed them with classic hip hop tracks from Jay-Z, Nas, Notorious B.I.G. and the like…and called it the Stars and Stripes Project. Kind of like DJ Danger Mouse’s Grey Album (Jay-Z’s The Black Album + The Beatles, aka The White Album), but BETTER. Download it for FREE on the website. Key track: Ms. Doorbell (White Stripes + Mos Def).

This is the second in a new series of “The Forum Endorses…” posts. Stay tuned for more “endorsements” from the Forum staff.

PS- Shout out to CMC alum James LoPrete ’07 for originally sharing this gem with me.

    This album gets four and a half stars. Plus, you can download it at a bit rate of 320, so the audio quality is much better than that of the Grey Album when it was initially released.

    Oh, and the key track should be “Jolene’s Ether.” It’s a mix between the White Stripes’ cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and “Ether” by Nas.
