When I saw that title, I thought for sure this would be an Onion article.

Well, at least David Hasselhoff isn't making a rap album.

... oh... wait a second.

People seem to think it's easy just to pick up a microphone, grab a beat, and start rapping. Learn from Madonna's mistakes - please, learn.

Reserve judgment until he actually does it. Elton John is something of a god.
