There are many collaborations I'd like to explore. One is to co-write a rap concerto with Eminem.

I would love to do a collaboration with Lil' Wayne. I would have loved to sing on his song, 'How To Love.' I wanted to do the remix to that song really bad.

I want to do a collaboration or some kind of side thing or some soundtrack work. Because I've been doing this for years and years. I'd like to just step out and try something different.

I'd like to collaborate with Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige.

What I'm trying to do is put back into rap music what's missing - which is the good part, the fun part, that party part.

Until now, I've not done a project where the produce, rapper and singer has never worked together like this before, and I had a chance to try a variety of styles.

As long as I'm around the cats in the hip hop scene, they'll throw me a track and I'll write a rap over it.

I've never been asked to do a collaboration. I guess I just don't give off that come-and-get-me vibe. I wouldn't be adverse to doing one with Coldplay or U2 - anyone who sells 50 million albums.

I'm a songwriter and I'd love to make that a part of my career.

But duets are a lot of fun, I'd love to do another one.
