Collision Course (EP)

Last updated
Quote from the DVD

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

Mike Shinoda, [6]

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]

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.
