After his scathing comments about Jay Z headlining 2008's Glastonbury festival, Noel Gallagher might not be the first person you would expect Dizzee Rascal to look to for musical collaboration.

But stranger things have happened, and an in interview with BBC 1Xtra, that is just what the chart-topping MC suggested.

"He's into music. There must be some hip hop over the years that he must've liked, or Liam. They're party animals, so somewhere they must've enjoyed some hip hop track," Dizzee enthused, confirming when asked that he would like to collaborate with the Mancunian icon.

And with all of US hip hop's big players collaborating all over the place, Dizzee confessed to having been snubbed.

"I've reached out to a few people and nothing ever comes of it. A lot of the time it's just talk," he said.

Dizzee Rascal famously won the 2003 Mercury Music Prize for his debut alum, "Boy in da Corner".
