In an effort to prove the sound-mindedness of Chris Cornell’s universally disparaged collaboration with Timbaland, DJ Skee and Prophet created and released a mix tape on his behalf last Monday. As far as we can figure it, the intention is to justify his terribly misguided excursion into the murky realm of genre-blending by providing 63 songs (!) that exemplify the artistic heights of the idea. Instead, the result is a hilariously murky mix-tape that inadvisedly mashes the likes of N.E.R.D. against Audioslave. After the jump, see if you can distinguish between the songs Cornell and co. deemed worthy of inclusion on his compilation, and those that are merely absurd, Flavorpill-selected impostors. (Hint: only one track per group failed to receive the official Chris Cornell seal of approval.)
