Robbie Williams is planning to make a hip-hop LP.
Strangely, the twist in direction - albeit one telegraphed by the awful 'Rudebox' single and its parent album of the same title - was provoked by Mark Ronson, who played Robbie some bluegrass. Bluegrass to hip-hop... makes sense, right?
Says Ronson: "I used to be obsessed with the O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack, and I went down to New Orleans and stalked the guy who'd done the record - Chris Thomas King. I played Robbie one of his songs called 'Gaslight', because Robbie wants to make a bluegrass/hip-hop record now."
Oh, we see: a splicing, a mix, a blend. Fresh wicked, fresh.
Brilliant
Rudebox is actually amazing. Sure, he cant rap for shit, but the lyrics are hilarious, intentional or not.
You don't sweat much for a fat less
clearly fame has its advantages
This was in the Guardian Guide
It was such a shit interview :(
One day
this man will go away.
The world will rejoice.
ive always believed
that mark ronson is a c**t.
some days
i feel sorry for robbie williams. days like today, i'd like to hit him with a brick.
Ronson & Williams:
Both odious little pricks.
n'uh...
the saviours of british hip hop FO REAL!
oh, dear god
...is there no end to his shame?? and look at that frikkin picture!! is he not pure evil?
i now have to find a darkened room and calm down.
burn the witch.
I
literally can't understand all this hatred for Robbie Williams. Surely he's just taking the piss?
Robbie is a complete Nobber!!
He represents everything that is wrong with British Music scene. (actually so do most British bands, he him a lot more than others)
Will somebody PLEEEASE...

he was just trying to be beck on that song, and it was awful. And now hes gonna make a whole album where he trys to be even more like beck, and its going to be even more awful!
