Liam Gallagher Tells Professor Green To Stop Rapping

September 15, 2010
Liam Gallagher Tells Professor Green To Stop RappingProfessor Green has revealed that Liam Gallagher told him to ditch rapping in favour of singing instead.

The British rapper said the former Oasis singer gave him the advice when they met for the first time recently at a party.

"Liam spun me round and said, 'I like your tones, I don't give a f*ck about your rapping but I like your tones,” Professor Green said. “You've got a good voice.'"

Despite Gallagher's vocal advice, the rapper said he was honoured that the singer had approached him.

"I was listening to his music as a child so for him to be the one coming up to me was incredible,” he said.

Meanwhile, Professor Green has announced details of a six-date December UK tour, which will proceed his already scheduled run of gigs in October.
