UK rapper Dappy, formally of urban rap group N-Dubz, says he wants Slash to feature on his forthcoming solo album.
It will follow his collaboration with Brian May on his single "Rock Star". The pair also coveredQueen's "We Will Rock You" in a recent live session, though Dappy's singing was a little... well, it was s--t.
It seems to rock collaboration has now inspired Dappy to invite another guitar legend to play on his first solo album.
"I listen to everything but I've been listening to lots of classical CDs recently. And I love Eighties rock. I want Slash on my next album," Dappy told The Sun.
Slash didn't respond to UG's request for comment, because UG didn't try. Why bother asking? The whole story is ridiculous.
Meanwhile, Dappy just announced a tour of the UK, should you need a list of places to avoid on certain days.
Watch Dappy and Brian May collaborate on "Rock Star" right here:
i have been saying this for years! it's getting really old.. but for some reason the kids just don't get that the song they are listening to has already been a hit and the formula for these no talent ass clowns is to steal from a proven artist and secure themselves a hit song... it's really sad it's as if this has actually been accepted as an art form when all it really is is stealing.. but money is the driving factor here and if the original artist can be bought than there is nothing we can do about it.....

When will they realise that collaborating with rock artists won't make us like them.
>thinking he cares what you think
Don't flatter yourself.
When will UGers realize that artists that they don't like don't give a damn what people other than their fans think? Unless, of course, you're Patrick Stump.
If Slash does this I'll cancel the Pre Order I have on the Fan Pack Edition of his new album, laser him off the Appetite cross I have tattooed on my arm and dedicate the rest of my life to making sure he is left behind at the Rapture.
"I listen to everything but I've been listening to lots of classical CDs recently."
This is the most hilarious bit - that this twonk thinks that classical music and classic music are the same thing XD
And how do you know that he doesn't listen to classical music?

Jeez, is this an article or an editorial? Nice bias, bro.
Focus on reporting, leave the opinions to the users.
Indeed. It's nice to see U-G come up with something original rather than just ripping off another site's content, but this is ridiculous. This kind of hack-''journalism'' is precisely why I stay away from bloggers and only work in print.
Dappy is a total knob... He acts cool but he can;t sing, he has no fashion sense (that hats... come on...) and looks like a mugger.

I absolutely agree to this. Whoever does this, like Brian May, must show that the roads gone downhill... Talk about desperate. The music he makes is shit as well

Maybe the following sentence saying he'd been getting into 80s rock was irrelevant, in which case it's just a shitty article/interview. You choose.
sue me, but i enjoyed this song. I honestly would enjoy seeing something with Slash in it. Usually this isn't my kind of music, but this song wasn't that bad.
Drake Revolutionized the game... and now every hack is trying to copy him. That was one of the worst songs I've heard in a long time.
I thought Brian May was an intelligent bloke.. not that I can hear his guitar anyways in this crap track but why even associate yourself with crap like this?
Dappy, he's a crap musician, can't sing to save his life, but he's a wicked pianist, and he writes all his own material from scratch so i'll give him props for that.
but seriously, slash collaborating with Dappy, it took slash an entire album to figure out he wanted to work with Myles Kennedy... he'll take the phone call and probably accept purely to slap some sense into this tosser
i used to listen to rock/metal but the fans attitude and unoriginality of the artists made me turn to hip hop.dappy is more original than mostrock/metal now. big up dappy
Uhm..I think this song isn't that bad at all.
Sounded better than 80% of the stuff on the radio and TV to me..not like the monotone or 100% predictable stuff other pop-artists make.

Ok, one thing, ur another knob. Are you famous? Are you any better than Patrick Stump? Cos seriously, i doubt it. Patrick Stump is good talent wasted; his early fob music (for some people) was his best. Unfortunately he was the voice and nothing else. He got a bad time cos of haters like you with no talent who dont like change.
So, when ur as famous as Patrick Stump, diss him then. But atm, ur just another hater with a closed mind.
My foot, dappys face. Now that would be a sweet collaboration.
Here's one. My foot, Dappy's balls. That would be better. IT won't work for justin bieber though... he has no balls (come on, you know it's true. Can a 17year old guy actually sing that high without being a eunuch?)
no you haven't, just stop.
