The gentlemen of This Old Boombox kindly pointed me to City of God's Son, an audio mashup masterpiece combining the works of Jay-Z, Nas and Ghostface Killah into a drama tied together with a written narrative. I can't properly describe this project so I stole a paragraph from the official website:
More than just a remix or mash-up, COGS comments on the icon of the gangster, the media obsession with this character, and its function within hip hop culture. Homage to arguably hip hop's most culturally potent era, COGS explores the mythology behind musical icons and gangster film icons alike, and creates a world in which the two co-exist. COGS ties these together by playing off of the listener's familiarities of these genres and re-contextualizing them within a coming of age crime drama set in a mythical jungle metropolis.
