Humans be warned: Hasselhoff to rap



David Hasselhoff, who you're probably familiar with through his work on the movie Avalanche: Cold as Ice, is venturing into hip-hop with a little help from neighbor Ice-T:

"Gangsta pioneer Ice-T aims to turn David Hasselhoff into a rap star — by producing the ex-Baywatch actor’s first hip hop album.

"Ice who paved the way for 50 Cent and EMINEM, told me: 'The man is a legend. We are going to show a whole new side of him.'

"The unlikely lads are near neighbours in Los Angeles and have struck up a close friendship.

"Ice is convinced medallion-man Hasselhoff can take on the biggest names in rap. He said from a New York hotel: 'He’s gonna come out as Hassle The Hoff.

"'The Hoff will surprise people with his rap skills and humour.'"
