Timbaland in The Hangover part II

...well, not really lol. sorry for the misleading title...
But the Timbaland produced track "Reminder" by Jay-Z (off Blueprint III) is used in the teaser trailer for the sequel of the (hilarious!!!) movie 'Hangover', 'The Hangover Part II'!
Check it out:



Awesome!! hahaha

Twista talks about "Is That Your Chick?"

Last year, Twista had an interview with Vibe.com and told them the history about a couple of his track. One of them was the Timbaland produced track "Is That Your Chick" by Jay-Z feat. Missy & Twista.
Check out the parts where he talks about that song:

That song had a crazy history. That song first started in the studio with Timbaland and P. Diddy. Diddy liked the beat a lot, so he let me hear it. He told me to write a song for him to it down the line, Jay-Z either heard the beat or he heard the song that Timbaland played for him, with me on it, with reference to Diddy. Diddy passed on the track or whatever, so Jay got the track and called me to get on with him. He already had Missy do the hook and did a verse. When they called me to come to New York it was a big thing to me. When we got to the studio, I heard the beat and I was like, damn, that’s the same beat I did the song to for P. Diddy.

The way I did it for Diddy was me being Twista the writer—I can’t remember how the original hook went. When I came to do it for myself, I totally switched the style on them. I just wanted to tear the track down because I was on there with Jay and I wanted it to be something big. The hook is really what set me off to be able to write the verse and go in a different direction. That used to be difficult but by the time I did that song I was at a level where I can totally eliminate that song from my mind and make a whole ‘nother song to that beat. And I can do it a third time.

I might’ve heard somebody mention it [was subliminally about Nas] before. You know, they were throwing shots back then before the union, so it’s no telling. I was just concentrating on dropping a classic verse on a Jay-Z song when I had the opportunity.

Timbo talks about the Jay-Z leaks

The second time (1st time was here), Timbo talks about this whole 'Timbo-leaked-his-Blueprint-III-records' thing, but with a new twist!
Someone tried to sabotage Tim's & Jay's friendship??
Watch and listen here:

Tim also explained how the leaking of his Bluperint III tracks supposedly happened:
"Tim explained that someone hacked into his engineer's e-mail and stole the files of Blueprint 3 songs "Venus vs. Mars" and "Off That," the first to be leaked from the album. He said they hadn't determined a destination for "Rumors," though they thought it wasn't right for Blueprint 3 (we told u so) or for Tim's Shock Value II. They decided to leave it in the vault, but it somehow made its way onto the Internet last fall. The super-producer says the leak was a blatant attempt by an unknown mastermind trying to damage their relationship." - mtv.com

Thoughts?

[Update]: All the gossip people and haters...watch this:
Timbaland Goes Off On The Haters

Timbaland at the Ed Lover Show

Check out this 3 part interview with Timbaland at the Ed Lover Show.
Really, watch all of it! Some very interesting details.

• Interview part I

One the first part, it's mostly about the relationship between Jay-Z and Timbo. And he's finally making a statement about the leaking of the Blueprint 3 records!
Listen at around 4:30 min. One of those tracks Tim did, but didn't know that he could work with Jay-Z on that, is "Venus Vs. Mars". The reference track is by a female singer!
Also hear Timbo saying at 05:00 min that he always has Jay-Z in mind when he makes a beat? Even would take it away from other artists (e.g. Missy) to give it to Jay?? Damn!! So much for that other statement of him "Of course I'm not giving Jay my best material".
And the "Big Pimpin'" beat, one of Jay-Z's biggest hits, was originally meant for Timbo & Magoo! Wow!
At the end of this part Timbo talks about the amazing chemistry between him and Justin Timberlake, even being better than the chemistry between him and Jay!!

• Interview part II
• Interview part III
  

Timbaland producing the next album of Brandy aka Bran' Nu, which was kinda obvious knowing that he thinks about signing her to MMG (as we told you)!! And it's gonna be, as Timbo states, half rap and half singing!
Artists Timbo wants to work with: Lady GaGa (they wanted to work together on SV2, but somehow it didn't work out), Kings Of Leon (also meant for SV2), Kanye West.
Timbo also says that there's gonna be a re-package of Shock Value 2. So let's see if these collaborations gonna work out...
Now some R&B talk. Timbo saying: "There is no R&B!" R. Kelly was Timbaland's last hope for R&B!
At the end of part II and in part III of the interview Timbo talks about his music in general and how it changed...

Keri Hilson feat. Jay-Z - "Rumors" [UPDATE-2]

Check out this newly leaked track "Rumors" by Keri Hilson & Jay-Z:

Keri Hilson feat. Jay-Z - "Rumor":



I just say, well, a "simple" track. anyway....
But where does this track come from? A Shock Value 2 track? A demo for another artist? Or maybe a track for Keri Hilson's re-release of "In A Perfect World..."?
Definitely gonna find out more for you!

What do you think?


[UPDATE-1]: This track is a demo for none other than......Beyoncé.
Maybe you still remember. Timbaland once (2007) said in an interview that he'll play a major role in producing Beyoncé's next album (I Am...Sasha Fierce). But as u know, the album already released, that didn't really work out.
Well, now we have the demo for a track that was made for Beyoncé's latest album.

[UPDATE-2]: Okay, you know that Keri's part was meant to be Beyoncé. And Jay-Z is also on it.
But in the end, the track was meant to be on Jay-Z's Blueprint 3!! And as you already know, it didn't make the cut...

Timbaland Wanted A Drake Verse On Jay-Z's 'Off That' - [MTV Article]

Timbaland said he and Jay-Z are like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. If Jay doesn't have some of Timbo's famed beats on his album, something is missing. Tim worked on "Venus vs. Mars," "Reminder" and "Off That" from Hov's Blueprint 3 LP.

"I'm out there more than he is. I know what the kids want," Tim said of their chemistry. "That's what I bring to the table. I bring that umph outta him. Listen to the album. I bring something outta him."

Memphis Bleek blames Timbaland's camp for the Jay-Z leaks.

Hello buzzers,

So it seems a lot more eyes have been here to our site than we thought. A lot of eyes have been here, and a lot of mouths have been talking. The current thing in the music waves is the leaks of Jay-Z's leaks. The suspicious thing wether you like it or not, is that all the tracks have been leaked are Timbaland production.

Rapper and friend of Jay-Z, Memphis Bleak blames Timbaland's camp for the leaks. Here is an excerpt from the article.

“Man , you know where that's coming from. That's Timbo's camp. Somebody is playin' dirty. It's cool though. I like to see the people's opinions. I've been reading the comments on Jay's records saying that the beats don't sound like this or that. I think they just set the bar too high for my guy.”

http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blogs/memphis-bleek-blames

Here is my personal opinion on the leaks. We all would like to THINK we know our friends dearly and to the fullest. But in reality we don't. I'm not saying that anyone from MMG has leaked the records, and I'm not ruling out that someone from MMG did leak the records. I'm a realist, simple as that. I look at situations with a mathematical and formulaic perception. I've seen people say "Jon would NEVER do this", and yet to no avail, Jon did do it. I've seen situations where people would say "My mother/father/sister/brother would never do that"... and to no avail, they did it. One thing I've learned in my travels, we humans are very unpredictable capable of anything. We don't know anyone fully, and we actually don't know ourselves as much as we would like to think so. Thats what I think, take it like you like.

Have no idea how this leaked not even a day after Timbo played it on UStream....

THE TRACK IS FIRE!! Better than other tracks we heard from Blueprint 3...

MASSIVE props to Big-A

UPDATE: So... tonight was awesome... Shock Value 2 Info

*Keanu Reeves voice*

"woah"

I'm at DJ Freestyle Steve's ustream and he goes in the studio with Tim... met some cool people... but anyways... the awesome news?

I heard about more than 2 minutes of about say 5-6 or more tracks from Shock Value 2. I DID NOT record because I was asked not to, and I'm loyal. Anyways Tim made a beat on the video, it was crazy... Then he started writing (in his head) to it live. Went into the booth and started recording. It sounded hot. Then Tim came to the camera, and sat down to chat and then began to play the tracks I mentioned. So Tim was there sitting down bouncing and acting crazy to his own music. It was awesome. And from what I heard... yall not ready for it. I mentioned that what I was hearing is greater than the stuff on BP3, and he said "of course I'm not going to give Jay my best material". He wasn't joking. I don't know how much input J-Roc had on the tracks I heard. But oh my... they were hot. And the track Tim started on in the video, which he made pretty quickly was all Tim... and it was so hot. Wow...

Anyways Steve and one of the great engineers named Julian was telling Tim quickly that I run a site based off him. It was quick. I think it is in the back of his brain now though.

The homie Wizz came in to chat (not on video, but chat room). We had a ball.

Tim also gave me a shout out more than once! "Venture... Ven-chur" That was awesome! lol

I have synesthesia, so to let yall know how his album is shaping up to sound... its a lot of blue and green. Futuristic, melody driven, tracks. There is Rave on there. So all you Techno/Rave/Dance dislikers. This album may or may not be for you.

Thank you.

Jay-Z - "Venus vs. Mars" (prod. by Timbaland & J Roc)

And the leaking goes on...I wonder why only the Timbo tracks get leaked(?).
I already see it. A lot of people will be unhappy with that.

What do you think?

props to "ballin" from the BuzzRoom for the find.

Update: Oh yeah, forgot to tell you. Check out this video of Freestyle Steve on ustream! Check around 2 hours 17 minutes. Recognize that beat? Yeah, the same as "Venus Vs. Mars". But with a female singer!!

So which version would you prefer?

Jay-Z - "Reminder" (prod. by Timbaland & J Roc)

And another one! But this time Timbo and J Roc took the beat to a more oriental direction. But it doesn't seem that they sampled the melody.
Check it out:
