'''''Collision Course''''' is a [[Mashup (music)|mash-up]] EP from American rapper [[Jay-Z]] and American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Linkin Park]], released on November 30, 2004, by [[Roc-A-Fella Records|Roc-A-Fella]], [[Machine Shop Recordings|Machine Shop]], [[Warner Bros. Records|Warner Bros.]] and [[Def Jam Recordings|Def Jam]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Collision-Course-Jay-Z-Linkin-Park/dp/B00069A6P4/ |title=Collision Course (with DVD): Jay-Z, Linkin Park: Music |website=Amazon |access-date=2010-07-26}}</ref> From Linkin Park's catalog, ''Collision Course'' features three songs from ''[[Meteora (album)|Meteora]]'' and four from ''[[Hybrid Theory]]''. From Jay-Z's catalog, it features three songs from ''[[The Black Album (Jay-Z album)|The Black Album]]'', one from ''[[Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter]]'', one from ''[[Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life]]'' and one from ''[[The Blueprint]]''. Before the album, Jay-Z had released collaborations with [[The Roots]] and [[R. Kelly]], and Linkin Park had collaborated with various artists on their remix album ''[[Reanimation (Linkin Park album)|Reanimation]]''.

The album was inspired by ''[[The Grey Album]]'' by [[Danger Mouse (musician)|Danger Mouse]], which was a mash-up album between Jay-Z and [[The Beatles]]. [[MTV]] had originally planned on mashing up only one or two songs, but the project was eventually expanded to a six-song album. The production on the album was mostly handled by [[Mike Shinoda]] and Jay-Z, and it was recorded between July 16 and July 19. The album spawned one [[Single (music)|single]], "[[Numb/Encore]]" which won [[Best Rap/Sung Collaboration]] at the [[48th Grammy Awards]]. The album received generally mixed reviews from [[music critics]] but despite that was a commercial success. It debuted at number one on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart, selling 368,000 copies in its first week.<ref name="BB200"/>

==Overview==
Due to its short running time at 21:18, with six tracks in total included on the disc, the release has been identified as an [[extended play|EP]]. All of the tracks included are [[Mashup (music)|mashups]] combining songs by both artists.

The DVD contains behind-the-scenes new footage of the making of the album, as well as the second take of all of the Collision Course songs at [[Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood)|The Roxy Theatre]] on July 18, 2004. Also included are the five scenes from the concert shown on ''MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups'' and a picture gallery.

The first single released from the EP, "[[Numb/Encore]]", achieved significant airplay on the charts, and stayed on six months after its release. "Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer" was also released to the radio in the US, but was never featured on the [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard Charts]] – the videos for both that track and "Jigga What/Faint" were also seen on [[Kerrang! TV|Kerrang!]] in the UK. "Izzo/In the End" was also heavily promoted on the official Linkin Park websites.

[[Mike Shinoda]] revealed that he would be mashing up with Jay-Z for a record under MTV's Mash Ups show.

The network allowed Jay-Z to choose a group or artist for the mash-up. Jay contacted Shinoda, who began experimenting with mixing the tracks before sending some examples to him. As a result, Jay-Z began working with Shinoda through email. The two decided that instead of combining the existing tracks for the live performance on MTV, they wanted to re-work and re-record parts of the songs to make them fit better. Shinoda explains, "Jay and I realized it's better to re-perform the rap vocals if you're gonna do it to a new beat because the vibe changes and you have to deliver your verse a little differently."<ref name="mtv.com">{{cite web|last=Wiederhorn |first=Jon |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1491889/20041028/story.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041029140127/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1491889/20041028/story.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 29, 2004 |title=Jay-Z And Linkin Park Show Danger Mouse How It's Done – News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News |publisher=Mtv.com |date=2004-10-28 |access-date=2010-07-26}}</ref> Shinoda asked his bandmates to re-record instrumental and vocal tracks as well, and ultimately both parties decided they wanted to release the studio tracks.<ref name="mtv.com" /> The entire album was put together within four days.<ref>Making of Collision Course</ref>

Sometimes, behind-the-scenes audio can be heard within the album, such as Jay-Z saying "You're wasting your talent, Randy!" before "Big Pimpin'/Papercut", or Shinoda saying "This is fun" before "Izzo/In the End".

''Collision Course'' was the first album of Linkin Park that contained a [[Parental Advisory]] sticker, since most of Jay-Z's verses contain profanity (although Shinoda and [[Chester Bennington]] are also heard using vulgar language on the album). This album was also made in an edited/censored version. However, the clean version of the album left the words "bitch", "ass", and "hoes" uncensored, which means that "[[Izzo (H.O.V.A.)|Izzo]]/[[In the End]]" is the same on the clean and explicit versions.

A year after the release of ''Collision Course'', Jay-Z was the executive producer on Mike Shinoda's solo effort [[Fort Minor]]'s ''[[The Rising Tied]]''. Also, the song "High Road" from the same record talks about how some critics negatively received ''Collision Course''.

''Collision Course'' received generally mixed reviews from [[music critics]]. David Jeffries of [[AllMusic]] praised the album, calling it "awesomely fun".<ref name=allmusic /> K.B.

Meanwhile, Raymond Fiore of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', gave a negative review of the album, saying that the pairing of Linkin Park and Jay-Z "comes off like a sanitized nonevent."<ref name=EW /> At the [[48th Grammy Awards]], the song "[[Numb/Encore]]", a mash-up of "[[Numb (Linkin Park song)|Numb]]" by [[Linkin Park]] and "[[Encore (Jay-Z song)|Encore]]" by [[Jay-Z]], won the [[Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration]].<ref>{{cite magazine | url =http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/grammys-2015/5877097/top-10-biggest-grammy-upsets-of-the-past-10-years | title = Top 10 Biggest GRAMMY Upsets Of The Past 10 Years | author = Lipshutz, Jason|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media | date = February 4, 2015}}</ref>
