Timbaland Goes Solo, Recruits 50 & JT For New CD

Orizio

Sounds interesting but how exactly did Bjork end up on the same album as 50 Cent?

After being nominated for multiple Grammys this year for his work with pop acts Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, Timbaland is finally ready to return as a solo artist and release a new album.

The as-yet-untitled disc is set for a tentative March release and will be the super-producer's first release since 2001's Under Construction Pt. II, a collaborative effort with his long time partner Magoo. Though not confirmed, it is believed that the lead single off the album will be the song "Give It To Me", which features both Timberlake and Furtado.

Straying away from a strictly hip-hop formula, Timbo is hoping to experiment and bring a new sound to the forefront with this latest effort.

Looking forward to this definitely, last year was a hot year for Timbo. My favourite production of his still is Bubba Sparxxx's "Deliverance", very underrated album IMO. Here's a little bit about that song "Give It To Me"

On the latest song with Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado...both Timbo and JT have some interesting words for certain people, no names are mentioned, however

Tim does call someone simply a "piano man" while he's a real producer and how Tim gets "half a mill" for his beats while he only gets "a couple grand".

JT also says for someone to "speak up and stop mumbling since it's hard to hear them from way up on the charts" and asks "where they were on the charts since he missed them last week" only to reply "that's right you weren't there"

Futado does the hook"

Apparently its Scott Storch that Timbaland is talking about. When Timberlake won the grammy for Cry Me A River he only shouted out Timbaland even though Storch done the piano bit for that song. Storch started saying a load of crap after about it and this is supposed to be a reply to that. Its also rumoured its Kevin Federline that Timberlake is talking about, although Janet Jackson has been mentioned.

I remember reading an interview with Scott Storch a few years back and he was bitching about a lot of producers, saying that they were basically taking credit for his production work. It was either in The Source or Hip-Hop Connection. Interesting article though.

The irony of that remark is incredible.

I don't think Scott Storch has ever made a beat that wasn't a Dre imiatation.

As far as I can remember, Dre was one of the producers he was talking about. I think he was trying to say he was some kind of a ghost-producer for these producers. I'll try to find that interview.
