"Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has described rockers as &amp;quot;fools&amp;quot;. The &amp;#039;Dammit&amp;#039; star recently released his debut solo album in the US, which includes a number of collaborations with hip-hop stars such as Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and Pharrell. When asked about his love of hip-hop by Complex, the star responded: &amp;quot;It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music.  &amp;quot;It was always natural for me. And I&amp;#039;m a huge fan. Whenever I get an offer or hear a guy like Wayne shout me out on a mixtape, it&amp;#039;s like, &amp;#039;What the f**k?!&amp;#039; I&amp;#039;m always flattered. Totally honored, stoked, or whatever.&amp;quot; Barker is due to return to the studio with fellow bandmates Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus to work on a new Blink-182 album. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re getting started as soon as I turn in my solo album. That&amp;#039;s the next step. No more touring. No more shows. We&amp;#039;ll be in the studio until we release it.&amp;quot; The drummer explained that the band will have &amp;quot;no restrictions [and] no boundaries&amp;quot; on the direction they take when developing a new sound. Barker&amp;#039;s debut solo LP Give The Drummer Some was released on March 15 in the US and is due to be released March 21 in the UK. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
