Rapper Kurupt hopes to follow in the fine tradition of Puff Daddy and Dave Grohl by teaming with Monster Magnet for a rock remix of one of his upcoming singles.

While the former Dogg Pound rapper is currently working on the first single, "We Can Freak It," from his upcoming album, "Kuruption," he already has an eye on his second single, "Gimmewhutchagot," which he hopes Monster Magnet will remix.

Kurupt told MTV News last week that he, like much of mainstream America, first caught wind of the band through their recent Buzz Clip for "Space Lord."

The rapper was first turned on to the clip by a video editor named Randy who works for A&M Records, the label that the rapper shares with the band.

"Randy basically brought me in to see an edit of the video for 'We Can Freak It,' and I'm in there and Randy wanted to show me other videos he's done," Kurupt explained of the origins of the union.

Kurupt said that he wants Monster Magnet to beef up the guitar riff in "Gimmewhutchagot," and that he also hopes to shoot a separate video for the rock remix, a la Puffy and his two clips for "It's All About The Benjamins."

Spokespeople for A&M Records say that both parties are interested in the project, but that nothing has been planned yet, and added that reports that the remix has already happened are entirely off the mark.
