What's The Story?
Those Jay-Z/Linkin Park Collision Course tunes were pretty big a few years back. This is the same thing with Radiohead. It's a mash of Jay-Z's No Hook & Radiohead's Karma Police.
Who's To Blame?
An accountant with a name that none of us ever pronounce right.
Why ♥ It?
I'm a huge fan of hybrids; take something from one genre and throw it into another or mix it with another, and I'm all for it. That's how I picked up a lot of my appreciation for the electronic genres.
This tune, however, isn't electronic whatsoever. The music is entirely from Radiohead, and the vocals are 95% Jay-Z rapping.
The music in Karma Police is what made that tune. Lewis Carroll could've written the lyrics, and it would still sound like a heartwrenching siren song to Radiohead-types. So, when you throw Jay-Z's rhymes over it, there's a really neat pity to the sound. No Hook goes from a cocky rap success story to a torrid tale of a troubled youth with that background.
That, and the mix is every bit as good as the work on Collision Course, so if that sounded like novelty, this is likely to work on the same level.
