Jay-Z to Collaborate With Liam Gallagher?

by Meg Ruddick

Rock and rap collaborations are nothing new, but reports of new partnerships seem to be cropping up on news sites almost every day. Recent team-ups include the Black Keys with Mos Def and Ludacris, Kid Cudi with MGMT and Ratatat, and Devendra Banhart and GZA (possibly), just to name a few. Now, The Sun reports that Jay-Z is hoping to work with Liam Gallagher from Oasis.

Jay-Z and Oasis's past interactions haven't always been friendly. Just last year, Noel Gallagher and Jay-Z began feuding when Noel questioned the Glastonbury Festival's choice of booking the famous rapper as a headliner.

Now that Noel is out of the picture (he quit Oasis in late August after yet another fallout with his brother), Jay-Z has expressed interest in collaborating with lead singer, Liam. In an interview with The Sun, Jay-Z hinted at another reason for joining forces: "I hear Snoop Dogg might be teaming up with Noel. If that's the case then I would love to work with Liam." I wonder if the epic sibling rivalry will cause a rift between the rappers, or if Jay-Z and Snoop Dog can help to bring the brothers back together.
