Jay-Z’s The Black Album has not only earned its own accolades, but it helped birth one of Danger Mouse’s lauded mashups — The Grey Album — bringing together Hova’s 2003 LP with the Beatles’ iconic 1968 The White Album.
But now there’s another mashup that also brings some punch. On Marcy Projects And The Infinite Sadness, Spose brings The Black Album together with Smashing Pumpkins hit 1995 album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Unlike Danger Mouse’s project, Spose makes conscious choices on the mixes like “Public Service Announcement” with “Cherub Rock.”
