THE BLUE PRINT 3. JAY-Z DEADS TIMBALAND FOR K. WEST?? UHHH!!!

By SOHH.

The latest on Blueprint 3 is just in and it's not looking good for Timbaland. Check below for details.

Remember this?

"We wanna go to the world. The world is 'Big Pimpin'.' 'Big Pimpin' ' is an international hit, so we wanna do 10 of those. 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!"-- Timbaland speaking on Jay's Blueprint 3, MTV interview, July

DAMN, Hov! What happened? I know: Little brother threw a hissy fit, took his Louis Vuitton heels, tossed them into the ceiling, and kicked and screamed for Big brother to change his mind. Damn, 'Ye. You got Timbo all hyped up for nothin! He seemed so happy in that interview that I thought the n*gga had pissed in his pants. That's not right, Kanye! You've got your "Be Kanye" ads all over New York City-- isn't that enough? Why do you always have to be all over everything?!

Via Dope Boy Mick Boogie:

"Kanye will indeed be producing most, if not all, of the album. Remember back in the day when an artist would do a whole album with one producer for cohesiveness? Think classic Snoop or Jeru with Primo... and fast forward it to 2008.

Jay will be leaking the finished version of "Jockin" as soon as he adds a new 3rd verse to the song.

Tracks to look for include the aforementioned "Jockin' Jay-Z" and a new track entitled "Victory" that the rumor mill says is simply amazing."

Both Kanye and Timbaland are excellent producers. But damn... how the story has changed in the past four weeks. Not that I have a problem with listening to a full album of Kanye beats. Not at all. And although Mick Boogie is a credible source, Hov hasn't even come out and talked about the album himself, so as of now my guess would be that nothing is written in stone. One thing that IS written in stone, however, is this: with the last two Jay-Z albums not quite living up to what was expected from many, BP3 BETTER deliver. You can't have a banger Part I and then end the trilogy madd corny.

Or you can do us (all) a favor and quit rapping altogether. Because with every post-retirement album, the clout seems to keep losing its... clout.

To be continued...
