What does Elton think of being on rap tracks?
Elton John has complimented British rapper DJ Ironik on his recent sampling of "Tiny Dancer". Ironik uses the track on his own "Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer)", which features singer Chipmunk.
DJ Ironik said: "Elton actually called my manager to say he loved the track and that he was a fan of my music. I love the old-school stuff and I've always been into sampling it."
The DJ also said John left the door open for a future collaboration. John stated: "It could be a possibility that the two of us do something. It would be massive. I've only let Tupac and Kanye West sample my stuff. That shows how high I rate Ironik."
