Jay-Z And Timbaland Join Forces

by Lyricalthought on July 19th, 2008

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1880/1898/9299/asset.jpgWith more than enough albums to speak for already, Brooklyns number one Emcee, Jay-Z looks to be heading back into the studio to work on another album, and with more than enough producers looking to have their beats on his album, Jay decided to pick one super producer to do it all, Timbaland.

"He wants me to do the whole thing this time around, I'mma make it a classic too. You better believe it. It'll be a monster! I always say this: You get a first single from me, I'mma get you up to gold. And it's hard to get you up to gold in this day and age."

As the producer for Hov's next album, Timbaland is sure that the album will do more than 500,000 records.

"Jay should never chill, we had a long talk, and I really talked to him. Jay-Z does it for the love. That's different. When somebody does it for the love, you don't stop. He has everything, but he's still current. A million people are buying his album regardless.”

There is no set date for the two to go into the studio to begin working but the super producer looks forward to locking up with the Brooklyn bred rapper for several months in order to come out with a great album.

The Games been a lie for too long now… Its time to take both the truth from the artist standpoint and the truth from the producer standpoint and throw it together to culminate a bundle of hits that will not only go double, triple, or quadruple platinum… But will change the face of hip-hop altogether in this dark age… Long Live the GREATS…1

timbaland is cool sometimes, but honestly most of his beats sound the same, theyre all techno sounding and i cant imagine jay rapping on a cd of techno bs beats

i like his classic just blaze-kanye west “band” sounding beats.

Well if it ain’t Dre producing the album, it’s a toss up between Tim or Kanye….but I would think he would rather stick with his fam and have Kanye produce it. You know Kanye will take some offense to it.

i just would think youd wanna switch it up… Tim has a hitlist a mile long.. but i do think a lot of his beats sound alike… its good for 3-5 songs… but 10+?? not sure i wanna hear nonstop missy type music for an entire album….

Lookin forward to this but kinda worried. Sure Timbo has proven himself over the years but his recent shit has been overly pop. Not to say he cant bring it back but it’ll be intresting to see what he does. Kinda hopen Jay squeezes a DJ Premier track in there to bring it back to that classic Reasonable Doubt feel.

whoa! haha this some good news…and straight up, if kanye says anything, he can go fuck himself…that dude is a producer, he can produce his own shit, so he better not hate, plus dint jay z basically put him on in the game, even after the dude had a wire holdin his face together? yup, exactly, i think kanye knows not to hate after that…but damn! timbo and hov on the whole album?!? this shit is indeed gonna bring hip hop back to the forefront, as long as nun of these dudes drop the ball

Damn. I remember my log in and password. It has been a min since I have graced the comment board with my two cents. Anyhow, when my dude Hov is getting ready to embark on something special I have to say something.

It is gonna be crazy, I am bias cause I think all he does is crazy. Haters wanna Hate and Lovers wanna Love, remember that Dave Chappelle episode lol. Nevertheless Big Homey is goon show cats how to put out another classic album, but in the meantime you dudes need to go get that new Lil Brother or Buckshot and 9th Wonder’s joints and listen to some real Hip Hop. ONE

P.S. it is hot as hell out here in Iraq.

Although none of their colaborations in the past really stand out to me like Kanye and 9th Wonder tracks, but Timbo has really stepped up over the last year or so. I will definitly cop this one.

Kanye will get at least one track in i bet but even if he dont never forget he created the blueprint he produced about 90 percent of the first album.

And dont get to excited about this yet. Alot of people dont know this but this the first time jay stuck to one producer we all know about kanyes succes with the blueprint but diddy excutive produced volume 1and even jay said he didnt like that album and dr.dre produced 75 percent of kingdom come and we all know how that turned out. Jay even said that diddy created the sound of american gangsta but that was a. Ok album

Well im sure this comment is gonna me trashed but………….Im a little tired of Jay-z and Timbaland

Tim needs to stick to dat popcorn bubblegum Justin Timberlake shit

And Jay needs to stop actin like he too good for the gritty producers like Dj Premier and give us some more of that 1988 cocaine rap

Just my opinion though….Not really excited about Jay and Tim givin us a whole bunch of radio hits

Jay & Timbo? mmm… ima lil ify on dat. Timbo aint rly did shit on tha hip-hop tip 4 awhile, been messin wit dat pop. nun tha less ima cop tha album cuz Jay is dat nigga. but i honestly think he shuld fuck wit Kanye, Blaze & Premier cuz i think they betta than Timbo but i give Timbo his due az a producer, he been killin it fa years. but he shuld only have 1 ta 3 tracks on it.

& 2 tha dude who said hip-hop neva went nowhere… r u serious fam? dez wack ass rappers been hoppin on tha scene makin dance songz, tracks where 3/4s of it is jus cussin & degradin gurlz 2 tha upmost, only tlkn abt how “fresh” dey are & thas it! no substance, no depth, no story-tellin, no original lyricism which = HIP-HOP! Hov is 1 of tha few who’s kept dat throughout his career ova 13 albums (includin collabs).
