Elton John to Try Hip Hop
According to eurweb.com, Elton John is now looking to collab with the hottest hip hop producers in the game for a new album, possibly inspired by the way his classic “Benny and the Jets” sounded under Mary J. Blige’s 1999 track “Deep Inside.”
left "I want to work with Pharrell, Timbaland, Snoop, Kanye, Eminem and just see what happens," the rock legend says in the Sept. 7 issue of Rolling Stone. "It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don't know until you try."
The 59-year-old musician has already briefly teamed with Eminem, as the surprise piano player for the rapper’s performance of “Stan” at the 2001 Grammy awards. John says he’s always been a fan of Blackstreet's "No Diggity" and Tupac Shakur's "California Love."
"I want to bring my songs and melodies to hip hop beats," John says in the magazine. "I love these beats, but I have no idea how to get them."
While the singer might be currently trying to build his street cred, his new album, The Captain and the Kid, is due in September.
