Ryan Adams goes hip hop

Ryan Adams has gone in a surprising new musical direction - by trying his hand at rap.

The alt-country star has streamed a new track 'Look Who's Got A Website' on Adams.com" target="_blank">Ryan-Adams.com.. which features him rapping.

Sounding like a cross between Beck and Beastie Boys, Adams gives shout outs to New York, Kevin Costner and witches.

In the track, Adams raps about artists who attempt to replicate his sound:

"I could destroy galaxies of alternative country wannabees/With a bottle of whiskey."

He also raps about the critical maulings and low sales of his recent albums have got:

"Two and a half star... My record went bulsar wood... bascially he's alternative country but crappy."
