 Ice-T And David Hasselhoff Team Up For Rap Album
 'Baywatch' Star To Reinvent Himself As 'Hassle The Hoff'

 POSTED: 4:21 pm CDT May 21, 2004
 
 David Hasselhoff, best known for starring in the television shows "Knight Rider" and "Baywatch," may be looking to release a rap album.
 
 
 According to several press reports, legendary rapper Ice-T is set to produce a hip-hop album with Hasselhoff, whom the musician described as "a legend."
 
 Ice-T told the British newspaper The Sun that he and Hasselhoff are neighbors, and they have struck up a friendship. "He's gonna come out as Hassle the Hoff," said the rapper, whose real name is Tracey Morrow. "The Hoff will surprise people with his rap skills and humor."
 
 This isn't Hasselhoff's first stab at a music career. Since the late 1980s, he has released a number of albums. While most haven't been released in the United States, they have sold well in Austria and Germany. They have sold so well, in fact, that the former star of "Knight Rider" once told German magazine TV Spielfilm he had helped reunite Germany by singing his song "Looking for Freedom" among millions of German fans at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
 
 "I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Check-Point Charlie," Hasselhoff said.

Hasselhoff claims he had hand in Berlin Wall falling
 
 David Hasselhoff has complained to museum curators after finding his photo absent in a collection of memorabilia about the fall of the Berlin Wall.
 
 The actor and producer, who says he is working on a film version of TV series Knight Rider, claims he is partly responsible for the fall of the concrete divide.
 
 Speaking to German magazine TV Spielfilm, Hasselhoff said in 1989, the year the wall fell, he had helped reunite the country by singing his song 'Looking for Freedom' among millions of German fans at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
 
 He said he felt he had moved people on both sides of the wall, although he admitted hardly any of the East Germans could speak English. He said: "I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Check-Point Charlie.
 
 "After my appearance I hacked away at pieces of the wall that had the black, red and yellow colours of the German flag on it. I kept the big piece for myself and gave the smaller pieces to colleagues at Baywatch."
 
 Hasselhoff said he doesn't mind that Americans make fun of his popularity in Germany and says he feels it is his second homeland.
 
 He said: "Many Americans joke about my popularity in Germany. But they have no idea how beautiful Europe is and how rich it is in culture and fun and warmth and children. In Germany children have brought me thousands of flowers."

Kimmel summed it up best:
 
 "First acting, then singing, now rapping - is there anything this man can do?  The good news is at least rappers are known to shoot each other often.  We can only hope."
