Jay-Z Denies New Disc Entirely Produced By Timbaland, “If Kanye West Makes 10 Great Tracks Then He Produces The Album”

Jay-Z recently spoke up about his new album; denying claims by longtime collaborator Timbaland that the Virgina native will be responsible for producing the entire project.

“You know I love Timbaland, he is like a brother to me, but until the music is done it’s premature,” Jay explained to Rolling Stone. “I’m a person that works off music.”

Continuing to break-down overall production for the follow-up to his certified platinum American Gangster, Jay added that the credit could go to whoever makes the best sounding beats.

“If Timbaland makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album,” he said. “If Kanye West makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album; if he makes three, I’ll take three. I let the music dictate the direction.”

Switching gears to talk about his recent performance at the Pemberton Festival in Canada, Jay spoke on some of his crowd-pleasing skills during his live show.

“I change things up, I change ‘Encore,’ I’ll play the Linkin Park version,” he continued. “I have some other tricks, I play to the audience, I really want people to thoroughly enjoy it.”

Jay made headlines earlier this year after signing a $150 million deal with concert promoter Live Nation.

(sohh)

but that was the point... it was a back to basics for jay. back to the coke rap/mafiaso shit that he stopped doing. plus the concept of using scenes/themes from the movie and relating them right into the music.

I actually didnt like the album too much, but I don't see it as a marketing strategy
