Just another mash-up

Jay-Z and Coldplay teamed up for the Terry Urban/Mick Boogie mixtape cleverly titled, Viva La Hova.

Hova is not new to the mixtape mash-ups. DJ Danger Mouse's The Grey Album - a combination of Jay-Z's vocals from The Black Album and rearranged instrumentals from The Beatles' White Album - was welcomed with critical acclaim from The New Yorker, The Boston Globe, and The Village Voice.

But this mixtape is less innovative, and includes some of Jay's most popular flows on top of mostly unaltered Coldplay instrumentals.

And on top of it all, it looks like the cover's creator spent all of about 10 minutes on it.
