I feel like this is what happens when people have too much money and coke becomes passe. That is, Elton John is making a “hip-hop” album. It’s not unusual that he’d want to work with Pharrell, but his list of wants also includes Snoop, Doc Dre, Eminem and Kanye. Is EJ one of the four horsemen of the hip-hapocalypse? Will it be a hip-hop record at all? “He revealed he had not yet spoken to Dr. Dre about the project, but was interested in producing a sound ‘a bit like No Diggity by Blackstreet.'” Well, there’s your answer.
