Jay-Z is one of the most popular rappers ever, so it makes a lot of sense that there are a lot of Mash-up tapes involving his music. So I decided to take the time -lucky you- to get all the better ones, upload them and provide you with a brief explanation, a sample and finally: a working download link.
Danger Mouse - The Grey Album (Jay-Z + The Beatles)
What do you get when you cross Jay-Z's Black Album with The Beatles' White Album? The Grey Album.
This album got a lot of publicity, some of it was caused by its excellence and the rest by EMI attempts to halt its distribution. It is one of my favourite albums and gets heavy play all the time.

Mick Boogie & Terry Urban - Viva La Hova (Jay-Z + Coldplay)
This is too dope, since Coldplay have always been one of my personal favourites; all four of their albums are classics. Mick Boogie & Terry Urban did an amazing job on this, it is too good. Honest. Here is a quote from the makers about the tape:
"If you love Jay-Z and you're not into Coldplay, this is for you. If you love Coldplay, but don't mess with hip-hop, this is for you. If you love all good music, this is definitely for you."
Too right I say, enjoy it too.

Cookin’ Soul - OJAYZIS (Jay-Z + OASIS)
This one dropped right after the 08' Glastonbury and got inspired by the Noel/Jay-Z beef, Cookin' Soul claim that it took only one night to do this, but don't let all this fuckery distract you from the music and it is good.

Minty Fresh Beats - Jaydiohead (Jay-Z + Radiohead)
DJ Minty Fresh Beats mashed instrumental tracks from OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows with various Jay-Z vocals to make this tape, it is the least impressive of the bunch, but it is no where near terrible and anything involving Radiohead is always a win.
