Currently riding high on the best-selling album of his career, 2009’s Tongue N’ Cheek, and racking up four number-one hits in the UK, British rapper Dizzee Rascal has now set his sights on working with Marilyn Manson, telling NME that he’s looking to collaborate with him much like DMX did on 1998’s “The Omen,” but in a much bigger way. And as with Manson’s own following, the appeal seems to be just as much about the image as it is the music: “He's got the whole visual thing locked-on, alongside the music,” he said. “I've got a dark side—I'd want to explore it with him in a major, major way." There’s no word from Manson, of course, who’s been through this sort of thing before.
