jay-z is clearly not the best rapper of all time, but his style is solid. he has some good shit. probably the best example is the unplugged album he did with the roots.
grey album is great because its sounds miles ahead of what rap is doing right now, thanks to the beatles and the cutting.
the black album is great on its own. the white album is amazing on its own. (almost a crime to compare the two against each other.) together, it makes something in between, hot and dirty, fresh and retro, but ultimately a great album.
should the beatles have been touched? probably not. but im my mind, it was done respectfully, beautifully and if nothing else reminds a new generation that the beatles were hotter than any shit on mtv will ever be.
