Let’s not discount the rest of the band. It’s takes all of them bouncing ideas off each other and they all inspire each other with different ideas and the instruments and vocals they all add. No doubt he’s a genius, but they are all geniuses including jay.
I remember seeing the Numb/Encore video for the first time. I had no idea they were doing anything like this, and I'd just seen them live the year before and they did It's Going Down as part of the set and it was incredible, and then this was on MTV in the background one day and I was like "hang on, that's LP.. but different?" I went and sat on the arm of the sofa to watch it and just cried, and I'm not a moved to tears kind of person at all. This and Reanimation were both such innovative albums. Really talented group of lads, and a genuine shame about Chester passing. He was a voice of a generation and is sorely missed, as is the band.

@@tommybailey-pl9or Welll, who's "bigger" is a matter of perspective. I mean, Jay-Z is a great rapper, but let's look at it for what it is -- Jay-Z says rhymes over electronically made beats and samples, mostly rapping about the usual rap stuff. Lincoln Park is a group of guys who come together with musical instruments and actually produce music with lyrics that are incredibly meaningful to many people. Lincoln Park are huge, too.
@@franka2743 this is literally a 14 year olds perspective of music, its immature and narrow minded, and frankly stupid. Jay-Z as most artists do, has a lot of variance in his music and a lot of talent in making said music. I don't even particularly like his music, but your breakdown of what Jay does shows you have no understanding of how music is made, what skills it takes to make it, and the dynamic of this room. Jay-Z at this point was already a bona-fide legend, and Linkin park respected him for his place in music and its history. Linkin Park became legends in and of themselves, but there's room for more than 1 legend.
This was actually MTV’s idea. They had this mashup series idea and chose Jay Z. Asked who he wanted to work with. He chose LP. They made it too epic for there to ever be an episode 2 💕💕
4:00 I don't think people actually realize how hard it is to rhyme to a beat like this. They was testing Jay, and Jay responded with pure talent. Hard to find gifted people like this nowadays.
As someone who has progressed from rapping on mid tempo Boom Bap to double time Trap beats, it is definitely hard especially when it comes to writing. But Jay makes it seem flawless
there is nothing wrong with this, it's the most perfect collaboration between rap and rock ever to scrub the ears of lovers in each genre, we heard something new. RIP Che Z
I love how comfortable they are, even though they are completely different vibes especially in that era... That was not only a LEGENDARY track, but it was TIMELESS! Super impressive, considering the time constraints, the level of knowledge and the fact that it was THE BEST Rock/Rap fusion we've ever had in history!
This is IMO the best collaboration of talent I have ever heard. This is just pure bliss. The perfect mix of rap and hard rock. Epic , I wish there was more.
When their joint album was released, I was 18 years old.How much time has passed...I grew up, took off my piercing, put on an expensive coat.What can I say, even Chester is no longer with us.But Linkin park is still in my heart.And when I listen to them, that eighteen-year-old rebel wakes up in my soul. Linkin park- you're cool.Thank you for being, are and will be in my life. To all who read this comment of the peaceful sky above their heads.
Bought this album the day it came out, watched the MTV special when it aired and I still watch this routinely. This was one of the best mash-ups modern music has ever seen.
I bought this album when it came out with Christmas money. Was a huge linkin park fan and a huge hip hop fan. Amazing. Will play this well into my life.
love how jay-z's subtly schooling mike like "yo hurry up, mike, shit" and "when i made blueprint (the album) i did 9 songs in 2 days".. now that's the right type of hunger!
thinking about how they came together at the peak of their popularity- like both of them were dominating their respective genres and decided to mash up the craziest records from both of their catalogues and made them sound so fresh. it was like hearing them for the first time all over again. what a beautiful decision. very underrated collaborative record.
You could see how much Chester really admired jay.The greatest song of my generation, this song defeated racism for a awhile. Thank yall for this! Never seen something so iconic
Seriously I have liked some of the stuff Jay Z has done but then this came out and it hit me like a ton of bricks! He doesn't act like a prima donna or anything, just acts like a true artist . There didn't seem to be any tension and the colab is perfect! I saw the tribute to Chester he did, It was one of the songs from Collision Course and you could see the deep pain he was in.
“I might have to bring out the young Jay Z” I busted out laughing. Even how he didn’t want to brag when Mike asked how much time he has and he’s like ... uhh i do vocals kind of fast I truly thought Jay was crying at the end of the tribute. The respect he has/had for Chester was never more obvious than during that song.
This Album changed my WHOLE outlook on music back in middle school. I became a Linkin Park fan and started listening to more Rock and Alternative music.
I was just a kid, saved up my money and bought the album/dvd for Christmas the year this came out and watched it every night for the longest time lol still remember every lyric til this day coming back after all these years😂
Days when superstars seemed larger than life..... being pioneers together.... fuck I loved that era of my life.... man I love Jay's genius and ingenuity... after seeing this Jay's top 5 for sure
i love watching this because jay is known to be a general in the studio like alpha male to the 100th degree and here he is very layed back he really trusted mike and his vision this made me see jay in a different light like a very smart musician and not just a ego maniac rapper he knew this was going to blow up and trusted the sound and it did it was insane
