Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The entire EP was recorded in just four days. Jay-Z and Linkin Park barely knew each other before walking into the studio.
This dropped during peak 'mashup' era—dangerously close to novelty, yet somehow became both artists' best-selling release. The 2000s were weird.
