EMI, Mashups, Dangermouse & Gorillaz
"DJ Dangermouse's "The Grey Album," which mixed The Beatles' "White Album" with rapper Jay-Z's "Black Album," is widely credited with bringing mashups to the forefront.
It was forced underground when EMI, the world's third-largest music label, filed a slew of lawsuits, but not before Dangermouse and the "Grey Album" achieved worldwide fame.
EMI does not seem to be holding a grudge. DJ Dangermouse is a lead producer for the new album from animated rock band Gorillaz, one of the company's most crucial releases of the year. He also turned in a track on "Verve Remixed 3," a remix of Dinah Washington's "Baby, Did You Hear?.""

The "Baby, Did You Hear?" remix is fucking terrible, by the way.
