I'm going to add my opinion that Linkin Park doesn't really belong on the same stage as a true artist like Jay-Z. Those Linkin Park lyrics are okay, but I'm sorry they don't compare very favorably to Jay-Z's best work, I'm talking pre-hard knock life here. Linkin Park simply isn't on the level musically of lyrically.
Jay-Z seems to be selling himself as a kind of jack of all musics now that he's "retired." Whatever, his hits had a huge crossover appeal so it's not really surprising. I'm glad that he's open to people sampling him and some of the mash-ups have been exciting, but appearing on stage with Phish? come-on! and now Linkin Park? He's trying too hard.
