In the name of all that’s holy, please tell me that this is a hoax! [**Ice-T** Producing \*\*David Hasselhoff \*\* Rap Album](http://www.allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=3189) > [@](#): > > After striking up a friendship in Los Angeles due to the proximity of their residences, Ice-T agreed to produce Hasselhoff, who will reemerge as emcee “Hassel The Hoff.” “Hassel the Hoff”? Dear God, _WHY_!!! Won’t someone think of the children??? ---

Well, that tops every one of my previous “The Apocalypse Has Arrived” threads for this is truly it. Oh, and Ice-T? You’ll burn for this. ---

The title to this thread is entirely inaccurate, as I will now illustrate: “I was walking down the street and I saw David Hasselhoff, so I gave him a hard rap in the face, then kicked him in the gut while he was on the ground, holding his broken nose.” ---

I gave up after reading “Hasselhoff” and “Broadway” in the same sentence. Someone should write a book about this guy’s totally unfamtonable career. Wait a minute…I damn near put “Hasselhoff” and “Phantom” on the same sentence :smack: ---

This had me laughing so hard last night. Jimmy Kimmel talked about it and ended with the question, “Is there anything this man can do?” ---

Look really good in a speedo? I would rather see him scantily clad than many of the “actresses” that are in the movies or on TV. Nobody seems to complain that Renee Zellweger can’t act and has a squinched up face to boot as long as she appears in lingerie. Just my opinion. ---

Y’all see this? [www.madness-I-tell-you-madness.com](http://www.madness-I-tell-you-madness.com) > [@](#): > > HOLLYWOOD. Following on the heels of the news that autere **David Hasselhoff** is partnering with rapper/producer **Ice T** to create a rap album sometime in 2004, another aging white former television action hero with musical inclinations has announced his intention to enter the hip hip arena. > > Is it **John Tesh**? **John Goodman**? Dear Sweet Merciful God In Heaven Above, it’s not **Shatner** , is it? > > Here’s a hint. This actor won’t be giving up his day job. He’ll be “Moonlighting.” > > **Bruce Willis** , aka rock star **Bruno Radolini** , is ready to take on the world of gangsta rap. Bruno (or “NOOooOoooOOOooo!!!” for short) will be partnering with west coast record Death Row CEO **Suge Knight** , former _good_ rapper **Snoop Dogg** and hookmaker **Pharell “Ubiquitous” Williams** of N.E.R.D… > > Explains Knight, “I heard that Hasselhoff shit, right, and I damn near shit myself laughing at that shit, right? And I said sheeeeee-it, I just know I can pull some shit that’s crazier’n that shitty-ass shit. Who can I get to sign up, who maybe owes me poker money? Then I thought: Bruce.” > > While Willis’ former wife **Demi Moore** graciously declined to comment after her eight minute laugh on the floor, her barely legal boytoy **Aston Kutcher** said, “This is damned exciting news. Wow. I hope when I get his age I get senile just like him!” > > The announcement has its share of critics, including east coast rapper **P.Diddy** , who offered, “Next time my therapist complains about my lack of good judgment, I can tell her I at least passed on this.” > > To those who scoff that Willis lacks the hard edge and necessary street cred to pull off a rap persona, Willis himself says he’s got just four words to say to that: “Yippee-ki-yay, muthafuckers!” > > Look for the album, “Inarguable Proof of the Apocolypse,” in stores this year. ---

“One man _CAN_ make a lousy album.” I’d rather hear KITT rap. That, or Bunny take off all her clothes and touch herself.
