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.

Ronson & Williams:
Both odious little pricks.

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...
