It’s been less than a month since the Brothers Gallagher parted ways, and the Hip Hop world is already on watch, bidding their time as they wait to mark their territory with yet another ill conceived Rap/Rock collaboration.
Snoop “D.O. Double G” Dogg recently expressed his interest in signing Noel Gallagher to a lucrative record contract as his first move as Priority Records’ newest creative director.
“Would I sign Noel Gallagher Hell yeah, I’m definitely trying to find a rock band right now,” Snoop told the New Music Express. “Would I collaborate with him? Yeah, definitely. Set it up…I love his style.”
Hearing the news, East Coast rival Jay-Z chimed in with his own out-of-left-field announcement.
“I hear Snoop Dogg might be teaming up with Noel. If that’s the case then I would love to work with Liam,” the incredibly childish and petty rapper/mogul told British tabloid The Sun. “Their (Oasis’) music is tight and I think we could blend our styles well.”
An ever optimistic Jay-Z believes the collaboration would yield a hit on par with his highly profitable 2004 partnership with Linkin Park, whose Collision Course remix album sold nearly 2 million copies.
“When I teamed up with Linkin Park nobody expected that to work, but we made a massive success of it,” he said. “The same could happen with Liam.”
How the Brothers Gallagher haven’t brutally beaten each other to death is beyond me, yet in a rare demonstration of sibling affection, Liam made public his support for Noel’s recent foray as a solo artist.
