Elton John has revealed that for his next album his hopes to make a hip hop record with Dr Dre.
John releases his latest record ‘The Captain And Yhe Kid’ next month but he already has his sights on his next rather strange project.
He told Rolling Stone: “I want to bring my songs and melodies to hip-hop beats — a bit like no ‘No Diggity’ by Blackstreet. I love these beats, but I have no idea how to get them.”
He added: “I want to work with Pharrell, Timbaland, Snoop, Kanye, Eminem and just see what happens. It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don’t know until you try.”
We’ll reserve judgement on this one till it actually happens.

Check that, Gayngsta Rap.

Y'know, the guy is talented enough to pull it off, as crazy as it may sound.

He's Elton John. The man could fart into a microphone and win a Grammy for it.

I think you've already made that post before.

The "fart into a microphone" line, I believe, was part of a Mola1 appreciation post not too long ago. Something along the lines of "he could fart into a microphone and move mountains".

I detect sarcasm in this thread, but y'all would be pissin your pants if you were walking down a dark alley and EJ was coming the other way...Let alone Barry Manilow. Admit it bitches.

Maybe, but there'd be something else in YOUR pants.

If I were Sir Elton, I'd talk to the Beastie Boys, Biz Markie, Fatboy Slim, etc. -- folks who certainly know how to get hip beats -and- who've actually worked with his songs.
