MC Gielgud
Feb 10th, 2009 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Eargasms
Following in the footsteps of Biggie Smalls, Sir John Gielgud, the late great actor of the English stage, is planning an after death comeback. Gielgud’s first hip-hop album, The Bard’s Got Flow, will hit stores this month. The album features Gielgud performing Shakespearean monolgues with hip-hop instrumentals. Producer, Icey Timberland, describes the album as “Shakespeare… but good.” Gielgud’s estate has additional albums in the works in hundreds of different genres, including reggae, new age, country western, flamenco, and “any other genre nobody can picture Gielgud listening to.” These additional albums will be released shortly, or, as the estate claims, “as soon as this concept proves to make us richer.”
Somehow, probably because none of this is true, RM? obtained exclusive rights to the first track on Gielgud’s new album. Enjoy!
