Oasis star Noel Gallagher has blasted today's rappers because they're all "idiots".

The British rocker insists he grew up listening to hip-hop because back then it "stood for something," but he hates stars like 50 Cent and The Game because today's rap culture is all about being selfish and demeaning women.

He rants: "What's masquerading itself as hip-hop-slash-R&B is f**king horrible. These guys will go on the telly going: 'Hey kids, stay in school, don't do drugs,' and then they'll be shooting each other down at the shopping mall.

"The disregard for women, stuff like that, I find it quite sickening. And the clothes they wear, and it's all about 'me, me, me,' and 'I wanna f**k you up...' Give it a rest you bunch of idiots."
