And Finally
Jay-Z up for working with Liam G
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 7 October 2009
Jay-Z has told the Sun he’d quite like to work with Liam Gallagher, though mainly because Snoop Dogg recently expressed an interest in working with Noel.
Snoop recently told the NME that he’d quite like to sign Noel G to Priority Records, the EMI division the hip hopper is now heading up. Responding, Jay told The Sun: “I hear Snoop Dogg might be teaming up with Noel. If that’s the case then I would love to work with Liam. Their music is tight and I think we could blend our styles well”.
Jay-Z has sort of mocked Oasis in his live shows in recent times ever since Noel Gallagher criticised the rapper’s booking for the 2008 Glastonbury Festival. Though given it was Noel G who dissed Mr Z, and given Noel/Liam relations seem to be at an all time low, Liam would probably jump at the chance of working with the hip hop man.
Calling on Liam to get in touch, Jay said he thought a collaboration between him and the Oasis frontman could result in something similar to ‘Collision Course’, Jay’s joint album with Linkin Park.
Z: “When I teamed up with Linkin Park nobody expected that to work but we made a massive success of it. The same could happen with Liam. When you have two artists like us in a room just throwing about ideas you come up with something brilliant fairly easily. I don’t know what he is up to now but he can give me a call”.
Neither Liam G nor Noel G have commented on Jay or Snoop’s calls for collaboration. Warren G has apparently called for the government to ‘regulate’ such tie-ups, or something. I wasn’t really listening. I’m not even sure he really is related to the Gallaghers anyway.
