This album is very good with some very good songs. I have reviewed each song and given it a rating out of 10: Dirt Off Your Shoulder / Lying from You: A very good mix between Jay-z and linkin park. works very well. 8/10 Big Pimpin' / Papercut: As a linkin park fan i think that this is very dominated by jay-z and is not my favourite song on the album although im sure a Jay-z fan would prefer it. 5/10 Jigga What / Faint: Another good mix of the two artists.Good song!7/10 Numb / Encore: One of the best mixes i have ever heard.

When it was first released it was an album I have to admit that I wasn't keen on and couldn't really see myself buying.

Collision Course was a kind of side project collaboration between rapper Jay Z and alternative rock group Linkin Park released in 2004, together the two artists mixed their previous songs and made a quite interesting gangsta hardcore sound, which although completely different in music genres and sounds is actually really good. You can buy Collision Course in most good music shops for around £5 which is a decent price, though there are only 6 songs on the album. The track listing for Collision Course is as follows: 1.) Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You This is a mix of the Jay Z song Dirt Off Your Shoulder and the Linkin Park song Lying ...  Read the complete review
