I was reading a recent story on a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Jay-Z and Timbaland (& Roc-A-Fella & Warner Bros. & Linkin' Park & anyone who even thought about touching the sample) alledging that the original sample for "Big Pimpin" wasn't cleared when I thought, "wait, what the hell is the original sample?

Strange times we live in my friends. Last week 50 Cent promised that he'd be releasing the first single off his upcoming album soon, and when said single failed to materialize the internets simply took matters into their own hands a leaked a Fiddy/Timbaland collaboration...from around 2007. Ladies and gentlemen, the ironically titled "Keep It Coming". Listen and download...
I think it's safe to say that Timbaland's "Timbo Thursdays" has been incredibly disappointing. On the surface new releases from one of the best producers in hip-hip history should be epic, but instead Timothy has given us so much warmed over music I stopped even caring about a month ago...until today I saw that new release "Slow Down" featured Blind Fury.

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but Timblaland, a man who was once widely considered to be one of the best producers in hip-hop, has become almost laughably disconnected from hip-hop. A lot of people have jumped on the weekly series bandwagon, but Timbaland Thursdays seems more like he heard about this new weekly series thing that the kids liked and then hired some assistant to run it.

I call them cocktease headlines. Sites and newspapers will throw up a headline like, "Nude Megan Fox Pics Leaked!". Of course you can't click fast enough, but once you actually start to read the article you realize that the pics were leaked, then Megan Fox sued to remove them, and said pics are nowhere to be found. Did that make any sense? Whatever, that's how I felt about this leaked Lil Wayne and Timbaland record, "My Reality". Listen and download...
Yeah, I know about the sexual double meaning in the headline. It's on purpose, and frankly I didn't have to try that hard. Not with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake dropping some video girl soaked visuals to their quasi-hit single "Carry Out". Come on, we're all adults here. Adults with juvenile senses of humor.

From Jay to Missy to Aaliyah, Timbaland's production skills have been very good to hip-hop and r&b, and hip-hop's been very good to him, allowing the heavyweight beat genius to enjoy a lifestyle he couldn't have dreamed of as a child. But now, more than a twenty years after he first began working in the game, Timbaland's saying that he's finished with hip-hop. Is that a fact Timbo? Well then we're done with you too. See more...
You'd think a high roller like Timbaland would have a taste for classy females and gourmet cuisine, but apparently you'd be wrong. On the latest leak off Timbo's forthcoming Shock Value II LP (out December 8) , the veteran beatsmith and guest singer Justin Timberlake let listeners know how they like their women and their meals: fast, cheap and easy.

Fresh off the leak of "Say Something" ft. Drake, another leak off Timbo's upcoming album "Shock Value 2" has found its way into my humble inbox, and with the star power of Keri Hilson and Jay-Z on board, it's almost guaranteed to be a hit. See more to listen and download.
There was a time in the not so distant past when Timbland was a giant among producers, cranking out hit after worldwide hit with the likes of Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake, and then, well, then he kind of disappeared. But the round mound of sound is back with a leak off his upcoming album "Shock Value 2", the slowly unwinding track "Say Something" featuring Drake. See more to download...
