Timbaland - "Rebirth"

THE NEXT TIMBALAND ALBUM TITLE IS CONFIRMED!

Ok fine well I've already told the guys in the chat room, but it's unfair of me to do nothing more, so I just wanted to let you all know that the next Timbo album will be entitled "Rebirth" and NOT "Shock Value 3".

The reason for this is simple, Tim feels that he needs to change music again, but all the music out there already has a 'shock value' to it, so he is going to "another place" in another sound direction. Frankly this is to be expected since he started re-recording the entire project altogether, so it makes sense to change the name of it too.

Now I think we should have a little fun: ATTENTION ALL DESIGNERS, just for the heck of it come up with your own album art designs for "Timbaland Rebirth" and I'll try submit them on to him and Brian Byrd to see what they think of the fans handy work. Just use the contact form to hit us up.

Tell you what though, I'd really love to this Timmy/T.I. snippet in full on the album:

OneRepublic - "If I Lose Myself" Live

The latest single from Mosley Music Group campers OneRepublic has been performed live on stage, with front-man Ryan Tedder stating that this single will be officially released next year in January (2013 if you are unaware of the year lol). Now this is a little interesting to note as their third album "Native" is also dropping in January too, perhaps it'll be a joint venture?
Looking at it from a Timbaland perspective this could be a good sign for Tim's album, afterall OneRepublic always had their material recorded first then sent off one of their tracks to Tim for his projects, so hopefully 2013 will be the year we finally see Shock Value 3 (provided it's still called that).

Tim & Missy Album Updates

Ok so this is gonna be a quick update for y'all:

Missy Elliott's album (as of now is untitled) is pretty much DONE as far as the recording process goes, so it's literally in the hands of the Atlantic Records officials... What's gonna happen is that Missy will release ANOTHER single very soon (described to be ignorant) which features two of her homies (that'll be a surprise) and after that single she will unleash the long-awaited album at last! However there is still no word as to what the album will be called, the project is called "Block Party" BUT that may not be the final name of the album, what you gotta do is tweet her with your ideas of names for the album, one strong contender is "Class Dismissed".

Timbaland's album is also pretty much done, Tim recorded well over 200 songs for the project, and they've selected 17 tracks for it from those over-200. Brian Byrd told me it was the hardest choices they had to make in a long while. Timbo however is sticking true to his word that Missy is coming out first. Same as Missy, the project is called "Shock Value 3" however that may not be the final name of the album, so once again what you've gotta do is tweet him with your ideas of names for the album, 2 other strong contenders though are "Ezekiel's Wheel" and "Still King: 20 Years".

One last word, be on the lookout, particularly on TimbalandThursdays.com, as they're working on getting ANOTHER track out from there, most likely a joint hidden somewhere in the vault, Byrd's description of it was "A definite banger, been rockin' this track for 5 months straight". So stay tuned SupaFriends and MEAddicts!

Pusha T collaboration with Timbaland

Well as it seems that Pusha T from GOOD Music wanted to reach out to Tim for a collaboration on his upcoming debut album...
In an interview with Vulture.com he mentions how he stalked Tim and Missy:
"Is there any artist or producer who you’re stalking but has been elusive? Now would be a great time to shout them out.
Oh yeah. You know someone I’m gonna Twitter-stalk? I tried to but she don’t tweet enough? Missy. I just went through a whole begging ordeal with Timbaland and I just did a record for him today so he said, “For sure. I promise you. I can get you on this. Blasé blasé blah.” And I’m sure he can."

Well the big question did he actually get in the studio with them? Of course he did! Well Timbo at least, no word yet on Missy though..

RT @timbaland: yo @pusha_t just heard ur verse on my joint. crazie hot **PEOPLE...THIS IS SO RARE! TIMBO THE KING FT. KING PUSH!!
— PUSHA T (@PUSHA_T) September 20, 2012

So it seems as if we're getting a collaboration from the 2, and it looks like it may end up on SV3! Now should he be successful in getting a collab with Missy, then that is the collab that would most likely Tim-produced track on his own album.

Timbaland JoJo Kiis FM Interview

Well finally we get that interview that Timbaland did with JoJo on KiisFm, and we get talks at last on SV3!

• The Justin Timberlake tracks we're not sure if they'll make it onto the album
• Lyrica Anderson is on the album
• Shawn Chrystopher is on the album
• There may be some productions by Wizz Dumb, Hannon Lane, J-Mizzle

Here listen:

My only argument is that they talk of SV3 like Armageddon!! The bad thing on that is we don't know when it'll happen, but when it does, it'll be explosive! Just give us a release date already (Tim you listen to the fans, all we need is just a date).

So let's see, the setlist of features for this album include thus far:

1. Justin Timberlake
2. Lyrica Anderson
3. Shawn Chrystopher
4. Bruno Mars
5. Benny Benassi
6. Sebastian
7. Petey Pablo
8. Dev
9. Chris Brown
10. Rekapse
11. Missy Elliott
12. Keri Hilson
13. Deuce
14. Lil Wayne
15. Attitude
16. Demi Lovato
17. (Possibly) Pitbull
18. (Possibly) Ne-Yo
19. (Possibly) Rick Ross
20. (Possibly) Justin Bieber

That's already enough artists to make a decent length album, plus any others I could've missed out on, thoughts?

Timbaland Bio: Life & Career

In anticipation for Shock Value 3 WatchMojo have released a brief history on Timbaland's rapping & producing musical career, have a view:


Shout/Out to a Mr Vic Main of Timbaland Top, salute!

Timbaland - "Hands In The Air"

With the new Step Up movie coming out soon (July 27th) we get another sneak peak of the new song that Timbaland is contributing to the film, in the form of "Hands in the Air". Ellen previewed the song on her show:


A quick word about the soundtrack: It will be released on July 9th and this song may possibly be on it since he has been on every album (minus the first) from the Step Up series. Hopefully that means that Shock Value 3 will be out soon with all this promotional activity happening from Tim.

Throwback Sunday #5: Missy Elliott - Scream aka Itchin'

Ok, I'm pretty sure no one will give a damn bout my throwbacks because of all the new joints coming, but this is my duty so here we go. Since we're all waiting for Tim's reunion with Missy for Block Party and SV3, I'm gonna post some classic Missy/Timbo shit to warm ya'll up before the real boom. I'll be doing this every week until we finally get the new stuff released, here's the first one:



This one is propably my fav Missy joint right now. Dope beat - pure heat. And Tim on the chorus, definitely some next level, even today. This is what I call CLASSIC MISSY.

Song taken from The Transporter OST. Have fun while listening!

Shock Value III - "Album Sound"

I've been thinking about doing this post for sometime now, it is about the overall sound of SV3, just like how SV1 sounded epic, while SV2 sounded a little bubblegum pop.
Now based upon the songs that have been released here's what we've got:

WARPED: 

We know that song sounds way too epic and at first we thought it was going to go on SV3. However a little while after Tim released the snippet Magoo jumped on the track and added his verse and Timbo decided that Warped should go onto Block Party.

NAKED:

This song leaked at around the same time that Paper, Scissors, Rock leaked as well, probably by mistake or intention? There is still debate over whether or not this was meant for F.A.M.E. or SV3, so we'll have to wait until the album comes out to find out.

PASS AT ME:

Released as a buzz single near the end of 2011 to help Interscope promote their new book CULO and reportedly the first single off of SV3. There is however no indication so far if it is the lead single for the album or even if it will still appear on the final cut.

THIS LADY & LITTLE DRUMMER BOY:


Western Union Singing Telegram was launched in December 2011 and during the Christmas period and these two songs were made available to record your vocals in karaoke style to send off to friends/family as a personalized holiday greeting. However it is unlikely that Little Drummer Boy will make the album but yet there is the possibility that This Lady could make the final cut, despite the fact that Tim actually wanted to throw it away.

BREAK YA BACK:

With the recent release of Break Ya Back to the radio airwaves, DJ's, media websites, fans have all been going crazy over the track. Above posted is the newly released Dirty Version which contains an EXTRA verse by Timbaland.

So with all these sounds in mind we can so far say that Shock Value III is just plainly going to sound epic! Timbaland has kept his promise about bringing his beats back to where they belong. All in all the sound Shock Value III is going to be amazing!

Timbaland Ft. Dev - "Break Ya Back" (Radio Rip)

Here is the BRAND NEW and long awaited track "Break Ya Back" featuring singer Dev which hit the radio airwaves today. This song is set to appear on Shock Value III. Here listen:



Finally ever since we heard from last year about it do you think Tim will change the game?


And now thanks to Boodi Bin Timbo, we have a phone call that Timbaland made to the radio station giving some background on the track:

Timbaland & Missy Elliott's Albums out in June

Well everyone here's the news we've all been waiting for, a release month at last for Missy's & Tim's albums! (Though it is still unconfirmed it the will be titled "Block Party" & "Shock Value III" respectively).
To quote the video below:
“Me and Missy are both coming with our albums at the same time, and it will be in June.
Right now, we’re preparing to get both our videos, our first singles, shot kinda at the same time. We want to do it as a movement and spontaneously.
I just don’t want to move too ahead of her and she don’t want to move too ahead of me, so we’re both doing it at the same time.”

So this means we'll have a summer release of both albums and in the next coming months we can most likely expect a lot of spoilers, stay tuned!
