'''''Collision Course''''' is a collaborative EP from American rapper [[Jay-Z]] and [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Linkin Park]], released on November 30, 2004, by [[Roc-A-Fella Records|Roc-A-Fella]], [[Machine Shop Recordings|Machine Shop]], [[Warner Bros. Records|Warner Bros.]] and [[Def Jam Recordings|Def Jam]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Collision-Course-Jay-Z-Linkin-Park/dp/B00069A6P4/ |title=Collision Course (with DVD): Jay-Z, Linkin Park: Music |website=Amazon |access-date=2010-07-26}}</ref> From Linkin Park's catalog, ''Collision Course'' features three songs from ''[[Meteora (album)|Meteora]]'' and four from ''[[Hybrid Theory]]''. From Jay-Z's catalog, it features three songs from ''[[The Black Album (Jay-Z album)|The Black Album]]'', one from ''[[Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter]]'', one from ''[[Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life]]'' and one from ''[[The Blueprint]]''. Before the album, Jay-Z had released collaborations with [[The Roots]] and [[R. Kelly]], and Linkin Park had collaborated with various artists on their remix album ''[[Reanimation (Linkin Park album)|Reanimation]]''.

The album was inspired by ''[[The Grey Album]]'' by [[Danger Mouse (musician)|Danger Mouse]], which was a mash-up album between Jay-Z and [[The Beatles]]. [[MTV]] had originally planned on mashing up only one or two songs, but the project was eventually expanded to a six-song album. The production on the album was mostly handled by [[Mike Shinoda]] and Jay-Z, and it was recorded between July 16 and July 19. The album spawned one [[Single (music)|single]], "[[Numb/Encore]]" which won [[Best Rap/Sung Collaboration]] at the [[48th Grammy Awards]]. The album received generally mixed reviews from [[music critics]] but despite that was a commercial success. It debuted at number one on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart, selling 368,000 copies in its first week.<ref name="BB200"/>

==Overview==
Due to its short running time at 21:18, with six tracks in total included on the disc, the release has been identified as an [[extended play|EP]]. All of the tracks included are [[Mashup (music)|mashups]] combining songs by both artists.

The DVD contains behind-the-scenes new footage of the making of the album, as well as the second take of all of the Collision Course songs at [[Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood)|The Roxy Theatre]] on July 18, 2004. Also included are the five scenes from the concert shown on ''MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups'' and a picture gallery.

The first single released from the EP, "[[Numb/Encore]]", achieved significant airplay on the charts, and stayed on six months after its release. "Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer" was also released to the radio in the US, but was never featured on the [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard Charts]] – the videos for both that track and "Jigga What/Faint" were also seen on [[Kerrang! TV|Kerrang!]] in the UK. "Izzo/In the End" was also heavily promoted on the official Linkin Park websites.

[[Mike Shinoda]] revealed in his 2004 Grammy acceptance speech that he would be mashing up with Jay-Z for a record under MTV's Mash Ups show.


The network allowed Jay-Z to choose a group or artist for the mash-up. Jay contacted Shinoda, who began experimenting with mixing the tracks before sending some examples to him. As a result, Jay-Z began working with Shinoda through email. The two decided that instead of combining the existing tracks for the live performance on MTV, they wanted to re-work and re-record parts of the songs to make them fit better. Shinoda explains, "Jay and I realized it's better to re-perform the rap vocals if you're gonna do it to a new beat because the vibe changes and you have to deliver your verse a little differently."<ref name="mtv.com">{{cite web|last=Wiederhorn |first=Jon |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1491889/20041028/story.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041029140127/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1491889/20041028/story.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 29, 2004 |title=Jay-Z And Linkin Park Show Danger Mouse How It's Done – News Story &#124; Music, Celebrity, Artist News &#124; MTV News |publisher=Mtv.com |date=2004-10-28 |access-date=2010-07-26}}</ref> Shinoda asked his bandmates to re-record instrumental and vocal tracks as well, and ultimately both parties decided they wanted to release the studio tracks.<ref name="mtv.com" /> The entire album was put together within four days.<ref>Making of Collision Course</ref>
'''''Collision Course''''' is a [[Compact disc|CD]]/[[DVD]] set released on [[November 30]], [[2004]] by [[Jay-Z]] & [[Linkin Park]].


Sometimes, behind-the-scenes audio can be heard within the album, such as Jay-Z saying "You're wasting your talent, Randy!" before "Big Pimpin'/Papercut", or Shinoda saying "This is fun" before "Izzo/In the End".
==About the EP==
The CD contains six tracks, [[Mashup (music)|mashup]]s between songs by both artists.


''Collision Course'' was the first album of Linkin Park that contained a [[Parental Advisory]] sticker, since most of Jay-Z's verses contain profanity (although Shinoda and [[Chester Bennington]] are also heard using vulgar language on the album). This album was also made in an edited/censored version. However, the clean version of the album left the words "bitch", "ass", and "hoes" uncensored, which means that "[[Izzo (H.O.V.A.)|Izzo]]/[[In the End]]" is the same on the clean and explicit versions.
The DVD contains special behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the album, as well as the entire live concert performed at [[The Roxy Theatre]] on [[July 18]], 2004. Also included are the five scenes from the concert shown on ''[[MTV]] Ultimate Mash-Ups'' and a picture gallery.


A year after the release of ''Collision Course'', Jay-Z was the executive producer on Mike Shinoda's solo effort [[Fort Minor]]'s ''[[The Rising Tied]]''. Also, the song "High Road" from the same record talks about how some critics negatively received ''Collision Course''.
The album's first single, 'Numb/Encore', achieved great airplay on the charts, and stayed on 6 months after its release. 'Points of Authority / 99 Problems / One Step Closer' was also released to the radio in the US, but was never featured on the [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard Charts]] - the videos for both that track and 'Jigga What / Faint' were also seen on [[Kerrang!|Kerrang! TV]] in the UK. Izzo / In The End was also heavily promoted on the official Linkin Park websites.

''Collision Course'' received generally mixed reviews from [[music critics]]. David Jeffries of [[AllMusic]] praised the album, calling it "awesomely fun".<ref name=allmusic /> K.B. Tindal of ''HipHopDX'' also equally praised the album, saying that the project "will open a passageway for artists who want to dare to be different as well as those who want to work hard to maintain that difference."<ref name=Hiphopdx>{{cite web |url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.495/title.jay-z-linkin-park-collision-course |title=Jay-Z/Linkin Park Collision Course Review |author=Tindal, K.B. |date=15 December 2004 |work=HipHopDX |access-date=2011-07-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006033317/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.495/title.jay-z-linkin-park-collision-course |archive-date=6 October 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Steve Juon of RapReviews called the album "an experiment which bodes well since for the most part these two artists {{sic|compli|ment|nolink=y|expecting=complement}} each other."<ref name=Raprev>{{cite web |url=http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/2004_12_cocourse.html |title=Jay-Z/Linkin Park :: Collision Course :: Warner Bros.

Meanwhile, Raymond Fiore of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', gave a negative review of the album, saying that the pairing of Linkin Park and Jay-Z "comes off like a sanitized nonevent."<ref name=EW /> At the [[48th Grammy Awards]], the song "[[Numb/Encore]]", a mash-up of "[[Numb (Linkin Park song)|Numb]]" by [[Linkin Park]] and "[[Encore (Jay-Z song)|Encore]]" by [[Jay-Z]], won the [[Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration]].<ref>{{cite magazine | url =http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/grammys-2015/5877097/top-10-biggest-grammy-upsets-of-the-past-10-years | title = Top 10 Biggest GRAMMY Upsets Of The Past 10 Years | author = Lipshutz, Jason|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media | date = February 4, 2015}}</ref>

Singles from Collision Course
  1. "Numb/Encore"
    Released: December 13, 2004

Collision Course is a collaborative EP from American rapper Jay-Z and rock band Linkin Park, released on November 30, 2004, by Roc-A-Fella, Machine Shop, Warner Bros. and Def Jam.[4] From Linkin Park's catalog, Collision Course features three songs from Meteora and four from Hybrid Theory. From Jay-Z's catalog, it features three songs from The Black Album, one from Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter, one from Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life and one from The Blueprint. Before the album, Jay-Z had released collaborations with The Roots and R. Kelly, and Linkin Park had collaborated with various artists on their remix album Reanimation.

The album was inspired by The Grey Album by Danger Mouse, which was a mash-up album between Jay-Z and The Beatles. MTV had originally planned on mashing up only one or two songs, but the project was eventually expanded to a six-song album. The production on the album was mostly handled by Mike Shinoda and Jay-Z, and it was recorded between July 16 and July 19. The album spawned one single, "Numb/Encore" which won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 48th Grammy Awards. The album received generally mixed reviews from music critics but despite that was a commercial success. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 368,000 copies in its first week.[5]

Overview

[edit]

Due to its short running time at 21:18, with six tracks in total included on the disc, the release has been identified as an EP. All of the tracks included are mashups combining songs by both artists.

The DVD contains behind-the-scenes new footage of the making of the album, as well as the second take of all of the Collision Course songs at The Roxy Theatre on July 18, 2004. Also included are the five scenes from the concert shown on MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups and a picture gallery.

The first single released from the EP, "Numb/Encore", achieved significant airplay on the charts, and stayed on six months after its release. "Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer" was also released to the radio in the US, but was never featured on the Billboard Charts – the videos for both that track and "Jigga What/Faint" were also seen on Kerrang! in the UK. "Izzo/In the End" was also heavily promoted on the official Linkin Park websites.

Background and production

[edit]
Quote from the DVD

"This is so fun! This whole project is, like, fun!"

Mike Shinoda revealed in his 2004 Grammy acceptance speech that he would be mashing up with Jay-Z for a record under MTV's Mash Ups show.

The network allowed Jay-Z to choose a group or artist for the mash-up. Jay contacted Shinoda, who began experimenting with mixing the tracks before sending some examples to him. As a result, Jay-Z began working with Shinoda through email. The two decided that instead of combining the existing tracks for the live performance on MTV, they wanted to re-work and re-record parts of the songs to make them fit better. Shinoda explains, "Jay and I realized it's better to re-perform the rap vocals if you're gonna do it to a new beat because the vibe changes and you have to deliver your verse a little differently."[7] Shinoda asked his bandmates to re-record instrumental and vocal tracks as well, and ultimately both parties decided they wanted to release the studio tracks.[7] The entire album was put together within four days.[8]

Sometimes, behind-the-scenes audio can be heard within the album, such as Jay-Z saying "You're wasting your talent, Randy!" before "Big Pimpin'/Papercut", or Shinoda saying "This is fun" before "Izzo/In the End".

Collision Course was the first album of Linkin Park that contained a Parental Advisory sticker, since most of Jay-Z's verses contain profanity (although Shinoda and Chester Bennington are also heard using vulgar language on the album). This album was also made in an edited/censored version. However, the clean version of the album left the words "bitch", "ass", and "hoes" uncensored, which means that "Izzo/In the End" is the same on the clean and explicit versions.

A year after the release of Collision Course, Jay-Z was the executive producer on Mike Shinoda's solo effort Fort Minor's The Rising Tied. Also, the song "High Road" from the same record talks about how some critics negatively received Collision Course.

Collision Course received generally mixed reviews from music critics. David Jeffries of AllMusic praised the album, calling it "awesomely fun".[9] K.B. Tindal of HipHopDX also equally praised the album, saying that the project "will open a passageway for artists who want to dare to be different as well as those who want to work hard to maintain that difference."[13] Steve Juon of RapReviews called the album "an experiment which bodes well since for the most part these two artists compliment [sic] each other."[15]

Meanwhile, Raymond Fiore of Entertainment Weekly, gave a negative review of the album, saying that the pairing of Linkin Park and Jay-Z "comes off like a sanitized nonevent."[11] At the 48th Grammy Awards, the song "Numb/Encore", a mash-up of "Numb" by Linkin Park and "Encore" by Jay-Z, won the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.[18]

Commercial performance

[edit]

Collision Course debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 368,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen Soundscan.[5] This became Jay-Z eighth US number one album and Linkin Park's second.[5] It also became the first EP ever to top the chart since Alice in Chains' Jar of Flies in 1994.[5] In its second week, the EP dropped to number nine on the chart, selling an additional 186,000 copies.[19] In its third week, the EP dropped to number ten on the chart, selling 236,000 more copies.[20] In its fourth week, the EP climbed to number eight on the chart, selling 283,000 more copies.[21] As of August 2009, the EP has sold 1,934,000 copies in the US.[22] On August 15, 2017, the EP was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over two million units in the United States.[23]
