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."

3333063_120X90 (3k image)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.

I did not post this, figuring that it had to be a joke. Has "Hassle the Hoff" come completely unhinged? Between this and the Berlin Wall thing, I would say, Yes.

It looks like Hassle the Hoff is trying to add some street cred to his image:
