Background

In 2004, MTV was searching for a collaborative mashup between two bands or artists. When they contacted Jay-Z, he said he was interested in working with Linkin Park. Describing the process, Mike said, "MTV called Jay and told him their idea for the live show. They wanted to know who he would like to do it with, and he had his manager call us. I had a vision for what it would sound like, but I didn’t think words could describe it, so I made some music. I sent him a CD with “Dirt Off Your Shoulder / Lying From You” and “Numb / Encore” on it. His reply was “Oh Shit!” Needless to say, we were off on the right foot."

Mike in December 2004 said, "To me, Collision Course is a landmark album, because it’s a first: two multi-platinum artists getting together, using their original masters and new performances and production to create an album of mash-ups – that’s something that has never been done before. I think Jay-Z is an exceptional artist; it was a real treat for me to be able to sit in the producer’s chair for this project."
