Mike Shinoda has been doing these rock/hip hop mashups his entire life, from before he started Linkin Park. This project, which resulted in the Collision Course EP, came about when MTV approached Jay-Z for the first episode of a new TV series. The concept was for each episode to match up an unconventional pair of artists, film them in the studio collaborating on creating a couple of mashups of their top hits, then perform them for a small audience of superfans of both artists. Jay-Z picked Linkin Park, upon which Mike said 'hold my beer', and when Jay-Z rolled up to the studio, Mike had already made not a couple but 6 complete mashups. They just re-recorded the vocals and that was it. MTV subsequently turned the first episode into an extended special, and cancelled the rest of the show, because there was no way anyone would be able to get close to what Mike had created.

[@viviangod_win]

Needs to be pinned so people who don’t know the history, know

[@aliciabokor9879]

This is so much fun ..... I miss those days man ..

[@Ultimatebongo]

The rapper is Mike Shinoda he also sings, writes and produces music. Would heavily suggest his solo stuff it's amazing. Actually gonna go add it to the May patreon poll right now :)

[@bradleybickerdike6688]

Chester was absolutely incredible, his voice was on another level no words to describe 😢

[@angeldiaz7607]

That "well... shit, alright then!" Look on Jay-Z's face is one of my favorite things ive ever seen 😂 this collab gets EVERYONE hyped

[@VerchielxKanda]

You need to react to Mike Shinoda's band Fort Minor. Especially the song Kenji. It's based off of what his Japanese-American family experienced during WWII.

[@emnope2087]

Kenji is GOATED. That song hits so hard and Mike's flow on it is beyond compare.

[@Kellew78]

Everything Linkin Park touches, turns into magic 🖤

[@Lostpure]

You NEED to listen to the Numb / Encore mashup from this same show

[@lukestark3]

Fun fact, LP put this gig on but only sold the tickets to certain fans. They put on their website a questionnaire asking what other artists people listen to, the people who said JayZ or rap were sent tickets to the event. They played the whole album. When I bought it, it came with a documentary DVD explaining all of this 😁🤌

[@TeddyGreyOS]

That's such a great idea! I don't think anybody does things like that anymore. Massive shame because that's how you attract the best crowds, the true fans!!

[@lukestark3]

@@TeddyGreyOS yeah man, the LP website back in the early 2000's was just one of my open tabs haha they treated it like a clubhouse and all were welcome, I was lucky enough to see them 3 times before Chester passed, got to meet the man himself in 2014. Took me a while to be able to listen to them again but it's great seeing you react to this years later 🤘🤘

[@AlecCompton-qn3lr]

I had this CD/DVD. Amazing documentary and collaboration.

[@justinwilder3514]

If I’m not mistaken, Jay z sold limited tickets to his fans, and lp sold limited tickets to their fans, and neither group knew about the other, and everyone went nuts! You can tell the Jay z fans because it took till like 3 songs in to finally jump because it’s not as big of a deal to them as it is for us metal fans!

[@Mrs.Pritchard]

Heck yeah mate! Love that you covered this! Need to do the whole album. Honestly I think a lot of metal heads (myself included) are big fans of rap - so when this collab came out I remember blasting it nonstop. Big part of my life. This was a fun reaction and so love watching your journey 🩷

[@2T0C]

The full DVD of the making of and concert is definitely worth a watch if you dig the album.

[@ancatdal]

"Collision Course" is such a cool collaborative effort. Only meant to be a smaller smash-up for MTV, Mike Shinoda took initiative to make it into something much bigger; an entire short album, and a fantastic live performance of it. There's a mini-documentary about it as well, which I recommend. Loved watching you rocking out to this!

[@JanaAudioVideo]

This day is happening, finally!

[@jamie-3373]

I was incredibly lucky to go to Projekt Revolution at MK bowl when they bought it to the UK. Hearing these songs live was amazing.

[@Ahilliard44]

omg i had a weird thought. This song might have literally been made for you. This mashup of legendary songs...it's like you were the target audience for it!

[@lennartpehrson9697]

I love how british people pronounce bro like bref 😂

[@Nickymoseley10]

dude this is your best reaction love this channel and your journey into metal bro

[@Alvtohnto]

Rock & hip hop that was something else

[@harrymccardell8836]

Mike Shinoda is a legend.

[@mitchellpurdy470]

He just started back up Solo 🔥🔥🔥

[@natedoggIEE]

@@mitchellpurdy470 haha this comment didn't age well

[@mendronesg]

JIGGA WHAT / FAINT!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@joshuacourtney9266]

Everyone loves numb/encore but this is the real answer. Whole album don’t miss tho

[@arnohanke6750]

Fun Fact: Mike Shinoda did, I believe, all Mash-Ups since he did Mash Ups in his childhood for fun.

[@fireflyry]

I think we all start listening to music pretty genre specifically, like food I guess, to then branch out to other genres as we and our tastes mature. I wouldn't feel bad for that, I listened to nothing but Metallica for maybe 2 years until a friend introduced me to Wu-Tang, Souls of Mischief, TCQ, Biggie, etc. It's a good thing bruv, and represents someone passionate about music with the maturity to see genres are just a human and marketing construct. Good music is just good music.

[@Bennyboi004]

the full EP is ridiculously good

[@BigWoody26]

Its fucking top notch dude! Pure 🔥

[@davidriddick82]

They used the beat from Points of Authority and put 99 Problems and lyrics on top of it, and then closed it off with One step closer…. You recognize the beats cuz obviously Points of Authority and One Step Closer are on the legendary LP album Hybrid Theory 🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@isabellelola517]

Linkin Park "Given Up" live in Clarkston and "Qwerty" live in Tokyo.......if you wanna throw shoes or smash something 🤣

[@voncridhe]

Teddy about to have Collision Course at #1 on wrapped 2024

[@jamessmith-db2is]

At 10:09 you can just see jayz really get into it love that part

[@VirgosGroove1]

There is also a video of them rehearsing.

[@bobthebeast2006]

Bro you just had me howling 😂😂😂 love your reactions!

[@chaitanyabagul6969]

This is the best reaction. Period ❤

[@RSXVPS]

It's fire because Chester and Mike wrote it all and came up with the music!

[@kiani-maekrist7512]

Ive been asking for this reaction for a while, im so happy!!

[@Ofthelineofeld19]

Mike Shinoda! Any time someone can't remember his name, I always laugh. You should really check out Mike's hip-hop effort, Fort Minor. They've done a few full lengths, but Fort Minor really shines in an old Mix Tape with Green Lantern. The samples on it are out of control.

[@MsNewsted]

I Love your reactions!!! If ya ever come to the states you are welcome at our home :) But yes this concert was Kickass!

[@justintime1307]

Run DMC walk this way was rock rap way back, damn Im old 😂

[@cozzsiecooper296]

You mentioned slipknot and Corey Taylor did a song with Kid Bookie called stuck in my ways i love it Corey raps in it too 🤣 sick reaction keep it up man.

[@Veri183]

The fact Jay-Z did this with Linkin Park (and no other "nu metal" band) basically shows that Linkin Park have always been more than a metal/ rock band. They have been about the blend with hip hop from the start. They did not - like many other bands at the time - just make rock and add some mediocre raps and scratches here and there. They've always been authentic, that's why it sounds so natural and that's why Jay-Z worked with them. Check out "Reanimation" the remix album of their debut "Hybrid Theory" - it's a decent hip hop record with stellar collabs.

[@rocket_hops]

its deff hard to break out of the box of what youre used to, but thats the beauty of music, how it can rewrite your mind

[@TeddyGreyOS]

This genre definitely has, well not this one but nu-metal, metal and rock certainly has. Between Slipknot, LP and Audioslave I feel like I've cracked the code to life lol

[@rocket_hops]

@@TeddyGreyOS exactly! its such a good feeling

[@boqndimitrov8693]

ohhh! Chester as Thunder!!

[@8ullfrog]

You keep forgetting Mike. And you loved Forgotten because of Mike. :D

[@nathalievandijk]

you are gonna love this

[@henry247]

React to the one theyve played Dirt off your shoulder/Lying From You! Its the best one imo...

[@jakehensonn]

The guitar in points of authority goes so hard

[@sandervandriel3476]

Oh man this brings back memories. This was before social media was a big thing so 16yo me had no clue this was in the works, stumbled across this on MTV one evening and have just been staring at the show until it ended, meanwhile texting all my likeminded friends that they had to switch on the telly.

[@Dringthing-pd2kp]

Love your stuff mate. So happy you’re embracing the metal familia. I HOPE people have told you to listen to ‘in Paris’ by hacktivist. very old now but I think it fits with this!

[@blairowens8912]

i still rock to linkin park on the daily

[@raymondkoenen8957]

There is so much cross over between hip hop and rock / metal, and thats why I love both. Chuck rock instrumentals over hip hop and it can be epic

[@wabash9000]

One Jay-Z line that I didn't catch at first and I'm not sure how well it translates to countries other than the US is "You some type of lawyer or something, somebody important or something" "I ain't passed the BAR, I know a little bit", the BAR is the test to become a lawyer.

[@BelPack11]

Been waiting for this...enjoy the album!

[@BarnaclePD]

Numb/Encore is one of the icons of my teens, absolute Banger!

[@FGBG1000]

Mike shinoda band Fort Minor is worth checking out

[@JESSES_CURIOUSLY_CURIOUS]

Shit is everywhere. = metal😅

[@zackkullis5555]

Their flow was insane, seamless between the two. Goosebumps every time I hear any of the songs on this colab.

[@frankthedukes1564]

mikes flow is so underrated.

[@bakusleepy6036]

Gotta do Dirt off your shoulders/Faint by them next

[@99Knytes]

Faint got mashed up with Jigga What

[@tonyfernandez2962]

Whole collision course album reaction please bro

[@TeddyGreyOS]

it’s been on the Patreon for a minute now!

[@LeoSiegfried]

Highly recommend X-Ecutioners feat. Mike Shinoda & Mr. Hahn - It's Goin' Down

[@BiologistRyan]

The metal community of which I consider myself a part of, frankly its the most welcoming of all genres.

[@Vulcan.]

i feel like you'd love UnityTX! they are such a cool band! i think their genre is 'trap metal'. my favourites from them are 'KILLING ALCHEMY' and 'ROC SH!T'

[@sadiekincaid5310]

The first part of this "song" is the instrumental for Points of Authority (Linkin Park song) with 99 Problems. They finish 99 Problems with the beginning of One Step Closer ending the "song" with part of One Step Closer. You can find the whole album on any site you can buy music from. You can also find the whole behind the scenes and full concert on KZbin. It is 45 minutes long and definitely worth watching. This album sounds the way it does because of Mike Shinoda. He has been doing mashups since he was a teenager with his friend Mark Wakefield (original singer of Xero). Linkin Park was originally called Xero then became Hybrid Theory and finally Linkin Park. Mark Wakefield left in 1998 because of severe stage fright which was going to lead to severe health problems if he didn't find something else to do. In March of 1999 they met Chester thought someone who knew the lawyer who tried to help Chester's first band (Grey Daze) get a record deal.

[@OneTheAndOnlyOne]

We had (they stopped) a Dutch Rap crew who started in the 80's and they also did "Metal Rap", so rap with guitars and metal stuff. But it's Dutch..example -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJiYdIiHdtSDpZYsi=EHYq-SNKQZXYj0h3

[@lukemcshane8355]

You should listen to Body Count.

[@Digtoride]

Awesome man🙌🏻 Hey teddy, could you react to Overflow by Polaris? Is a Metalcore band and they are amazing

[@prestonrodd7555]

And We Run - Within Temptation ft Xzibit. Jay-Z isn't the only rapper of his time to collaborate with metal.

[@Jenzedwow]

Two rewinds are just about acceptable. Ridiculous if more than that

[@mattwaterhouse7908]

Ice t also has a metal band called bodycount, and you should check out the first metal and rap song bring the noise by anthrax/public enemy

[@cgkiller1220]

i got to see the collab performance as a triple encore in madison square gardens in like 2008 or 2009. Jayz was a encore guest not on the set list. I was stunned to see it. One of the wildest collabs of all time. It showed the diversity that linkin park could do with their music. simply stunning. if you liked this another that wasnt as great but was still pretty wild was linkin park x busta rhymes - we made it. I caught that one live on the projekt revolution tour. the whole crowd metal/rock/hip-hop was bouncing. ON POINT!!

[@Antonyhughesjones]

Another metal colab to check out is CMFT and Tec9. The track is CMFT must be stopped and yes it’s Corey Taylor

[@dadscapes1125]

There’s a whole album called collision course with Jay-Z and Linkin park mixes The Linkin Park rapper and DJ are both heavily inspired by Hip Hop, check out the song It’s going down by the Executioners too, it’s proper Dj hip hop combined with Metal

[@benclegg3124]

I don't gaf about stolen flows, if the shit sounds good imma listen to it

[@TeddyGreyOS]

Not flows my guy, entire lines of songs… kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qViqCJo9V8mqMsi=0jnBoFq-2JiEg06v

[@BlackShipa]

Please do wretched and kings by linkin Park. Who agree?

[@jocelynmedeiros5127]

YESSSS TEDDY!!! THATS THE REACTION WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! I HOPE YOUR MIC IS OKAY LMAOOO! KEEP IT UP!!

[@CriticalMass333]

Dude - as always, solid reaction. You had me rolling multiple times on this one and I lost my shit when it dropped into one step closer at the end too! The hype! Haha. If you like the Linkin Park remixes/collabs, they released an album called 'Reanimation' where they remix tracks from Hybrid Theory (with a few bonus tracks new to the album) and they collab with various other artists such as Jonathan Davis, Marilyn Manson DJ Babu, etc. Its a vibe - you might like it

[@beatnicksbeats]

I was wondering when you were going to get to these! Also yes it was, I've got it on Tidal so it should be on Spotify.

[@KyleWebber-wm6xl]

You have to react to encore/numb I feel like just the best track from this

[@AnDyHart84]

Collision Course was the album namebtw ;) The Musicalbox most of us live or lived in is normal. when you love a genre and become a purist it's nearly impossble to get out... The best way is metal came from hiphop---> Linkin park, Limp Bizkit, SoD, e.t.c. Pop--> Nightwish, Arch Enemy, Evanessence, Whitin temtation and someday you realize it's not the genre you love it's what the music makes you feel

[@Datyson99]

Okay why is everyone acting like this is a new thing Wu Tang Clan/Anthrax also Run DMC/Aerosmith while this is the best I have heard the rock community as always embraced rap and I believe it is vice versa for rap otherwise there would not have been the Beastie Boys, Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit. Also Linkin Park would not have Mike Shinoda or Rage Against The Machine would not have Zack

[@DoctorNerf]

You got the vibe of this shit. Also I hear what you're saying about Jay but he's still top 5 for me, and as you can see here he is CRYSTAL CLEAR live. My goat is Em but he doesn't even sound a fraction as good as Jay live. Em barely even raps live let alone sounds good live.

[@knightedspartan4448]

Feels a little out of place to say but I think you'd have some fun reacting to Sonata Arctica's "Wolf & Raven". They're Finnish!

[@andrelense3693]

Have a look at the incredible cover of Eminem’s ‘Loose Yourself’ by Kasey Chambers. It’s one of a kind track.

[@Mason_young23]

this mix will always live un history . that hole cd was mad.

[@TeddyGreyOS]

Did the whole thing on Patreon, shit was crazy!

[@chriswragg9123]

Listen to X-Ecutioners featuring raper from linkin park. Good rap n rock

[@RogunK]

14:11 Not just a drug dealer, also a pimp. He has talked about having prostitutes working for him which is part of the reason there has been news in the past about how he treats the women around him, specifically his wife's sister. On a happier note, there is a video that shows not only the whole album performance on stage, but a bunch of behind the scenes stuff as well.

[@TeddyGreyOS]

Another thing he took from Biggie actually. There’s never been any evidence suggesting he was a pimp, other than his word - which at this point is worth very little. He hasn’t ever mistreated his wife’s sister either… She once attacked him in an elevator but that was because he cheated on Beyoncé… Not sure which magazine you get your info from but it’s all over the place mate 😂

[@serenaryan8006]

: What I love about this is Chester just bopping about in the back. Mike was always meant to be the frontman. He tried to protect him. Xx

[@Regi_Chelsea]

🔥🔥🔥

[@VirgosGroove1]

Also, Kanye worked with them first and it was pretty good, but it doesn't compare to Jay's collab.

[@TeddyGreyOS]

I gotta hear that 👀 Kanye’s sampling style with Chester’s screaming would’ve been a deadly combo

[@lontollison6771]

This song ,one of the greatest mash ups EVER!

[@spikeyfish]

Noooo there was a huge divide when this came out

[@KylePortsmouth]

Man I love your energy so much, I’ve watch so much of your metal react videos. You need to watch some Australian metal. Alpha wolf, Polaris, Parkway Drive, all leading the way out of Aus. And if you really want your mind blown, watch crushed-parkway drive live in pittsburgh

[@BridgeIV]

I just love your enthusiasm and authenticness but don't put yourself down so much, you're exploring music now and that is awesome!

[@geminigal16]

If you want more metal and rap mixes then I highly recommend Sucks 2 Suck by Alpha Wolf ft Ice-T. It's more recent and it's great 😊

[@heysylvs]

I remember owning this CD

[@davecon3590]

This is the album that took me from hip hop to metal!

Hey Teddy, have you done any Australian hip hop reactions? If not you should check out chillinit one breath one take

[@Theinfamouskira]

Entire EP of studio recordings, my dude! It's called Collision Course, you should definitely check it out! Love watching you wig out to the hype, feels authentic
