Don't be surprised if you hear Elton John hopping on a record with Kanye West or Pharrell at some time in the near future, because the 66-year-old music legend revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that he's interested in making hip-hop.
"I'd love to," John told the magazine when asked if he's still interested in making hip hop. "I just don't know how to do it. I do love electronica. So, for me, I'd have to work with someone who knows about it, like a Pharrell or a Kanye, who I respect tremendously. I'd love to do that."
"You never can knock anybody else's type of music until you try it," John said about working outside his genre. "I could never do a rap record because I wouldn't know where to start. You can learn so much from working with somebody that does. In the studio with Kanye, when I was doing that in Honolulu, he was just on fire. It was amazing to watch. You knew you were in the presence of greatness. I knew once I heard four or five tracks from that in the studio, I knew it was going to be a motherf*cker of a record."
The knighted singer previously worked with Kanye on "All of The Lights" off "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."
