It seems that world of rap is even affected by the split of British mega-group Oasis who broke in late August. Days after that Snoop Dogg said that he wanted to sign Noel Gallagher as a solo artist to his new record label, Jay-Z stated he wants to work with younger brother Liam on a side project. Jay-Z told British tabloid The Sun that he wanted the singer to contact him about the offer of a collaboration:

"I hear Snoop Dogg might be teaming up with Noel. If that's the case then I would love to work with Liam. Their [Oasis'] music is tight and I think we could blend our styles well."

"When I teamed up with Linkin Park nobody expected that to work but we made a massive success of it," adding. "The same could happen with Liam."

"When you have two artists like us in a room just throwing about ideas you come up with something brilliant fairly easily," he said. "I don't know what he is up to now but he can give me a call."

If the rumor comes true and Liam does take Jay-Z up on the offer it will probably get under Noel's skin in a big way. Noel, of course, had a big spat with Jay-Z that made international headlines when he objected to a rap star headlining the prestigious Glastonbury Festival in England last summer.
