In a shocking turn of events, PINK FLOYD’s guitar legend David Gilmour has announced that he’s not only diving deeper into the rap game but is also working on a cover album that promises to leave us “Comfortably Thug.” This comes after Gilmour’s unexpected collaboration with BODY COUNT, the metal band fronted by hip-hop legend, actor, and director Ice-T, on a heavy rendition of PINK FLOYD’s classic “Comfortably Numb.” The track, featuring Gilmour’s iconic guitar work alongside Ice-T’s blistering delivery and BODY COUNT’s intensity, dropped jaws across the rock and rap worlds, fusing introspective Floyd vibes with Ice-T’s raw power.
Apparently, Gilmour has been so blown away by the experience that he’s taking his musical career in an unexpected new direction. He’s not only embracing the hardcore energy of BODY COUNT but is also taking rap lessons to polish his flow. Yes, you read that right — David Gilmour is ready to spit bars.
In a statement Gilmour didn’t really make but we’re pretending he did, he gushed, “Collaborating with Ice-T was like reaching the ‘Dark Side of the Cop Killer.’ I’ve never felt more alive, or more ‘numb,’ for that matter. His lyrical genius gave me a whole new perspective on life, and now I’m ready to drop some heat.”
The new album, tentatively titled “The Dark Side of the Body Count,” will include iconic mashups of BODY COUNT’s hardcore tracks and PINK FLOYD’s ethereal jams. Early reports suggest the tracklist is absolutely bonkers, featuring instant classics like:
- “Breathe (in the Streets)”
- “Run Like a Shotgun”
- “Money for Murder”
- “Us and Them…and Cops”
- “The Great Gig in the Hood”
- “Brain Damage Control”
- “Another Brick in the Pig”
Fans are already buzzing about how Gilmour’s soothing, spacey guitar tones will mesh with Ice-T’s guttural growls and lyrics that’ll make you rethink your existence — or at least reconsider your Spotify playlist.
But wait, it gets better. Rumor has it, Gilmour is taking private rap lessons, and word on the street is that he’s even added “yo” to his daily vocabulary. Sources close to the legend claim he’s been studying rhyme schemes, battle-rap techniques, and may even be sporting a gold chain with a tiny flying pig charm. There are whispers of a guest appearance by Snoop Dogg, who’s already schooling him on the finer points of “West Coast vibes.”
BODY COUNT’s Ice-T, who’s reportedly thrilled with Gilmour’s rap evolution, had this to say: “When I saw Dave walk into the studio wearing a hoodie and sagging jeans, I knew I’d created a monster. Floyd fans ain’t ready for this.”
As for the rest of the world? We’re all holding our breath for Gilmour to unleash his inner gangsta when his album drops — because no one was prepared for ‘The Dark Side of the Mic.’ November 22 can’t come fast enough.
