Flo Rida Wants To Team Up With Paul McCartney

(Stereotude ) Flo Rida has collaborated with a wide array of artists from the hip-hop and pop music spectrums, but never before would we expect his dream collaboration to be with a Beatle. But that's exactly what he told us.

During OK! Magazine's pre-Grammy party, we caught up with the Florida rapper when this bombshell of insider info was dropped on us.

"...Recently, I got a chance to work out at the gym with Paul McCartney during Super Bowl," he told Stereotude. "I was shocked. He actually came to my concert as well. So that was something big."

While the idea of what that collaboration would actually sound like if, in fact, it happened is staggering, the artist's other dream teammates are a little more reasonable.

Grammys Avoid Controversy With Skrillex Win

(Radio.com) A collective sigh of relief could be felt from the Electronic Dance Music community as Skrillex took home the Grammy for Best Dance Recording for "Bangarang" featuring fellow Los Angeleno, Sirah. EDM fans hoped the award would not go to newcomer Al Walser.

When Grammy nominations were announced last December, dance music fans, artists and experts found an unfamiliar name competing in the Best Dance Recording category.

Who is Al Walser and how did the relatively unknown producer from Liechtenstein get nominated up against hit machines like Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Avicii and Swedish House Mafia? The four platinum-selling acts had packed stadiums in 2012 while Walser had posted a low-budget video for "I Can't Live Without You," which displayed a scant 7,000 views at the time of his nomination.

Talk of conspiracy quickly ensued. After some fancy footwork by Phillip Sherburne, Spin's dance music expert, it was uncovered that Walser, although unknown in the U.S., had a history in the music industry. more on this story

Two artists who have worn their Band influence on their collective sleeves, Mumford & Sons and Alabama Shakes singer Brittany Howard took two verses.

Finally, Elton John – who named one of his classic singles ("Levon") and his son (Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John) – after Levon Helm finished the song. more on this story
