TIMBALAND TALKS SHOCK VALUE 2
Timbaland, who is pictured here with artist and protege Keri Hilson on TRL last week, spoke briefly with MTV about his upcoming album, Shock Value 2, which he’s already begun working on.
Here’s what Tim had to say:
“Shock Value is really like the Now (That’s What I Call Music!) compilation,” he said. “That’s my goal for this — not to showcase me as an artist. Of course I’ll do my little part, introduce some people. It gives me room to go tour across the world. People request me. I put on a show. I put on a musical show.
“Right now, I have a song with Madonna that I didn’t put on her album. I saved it in case I wanna do one for me,” he revealed. “Of course I’mma do one with Beyoncé. Of course I’mma do one with Jordin Sparks, Rihanna. It’s a lot of people. I’mma do one with Jonas Brothers. I’mma try to have 10 major ones.”
On the hip-hop side, Timbo said he’s looking at T.I., already has T-Pain and expects Jay-Z.
“Jay was really on the last one, but he wanted to change the song,” he said. “I said, ‘Look, man, I gotta put out an album. You’re killing me.’ “
I’m hoping he still goes on in with Missy Elliott, who is working on her new album, as well as work with some other folks that he did on the last project. I definitely would love to see some work with Brandy, and The Clutch and more.
NAS ENDS LIL’ WAYNE’S REIGN
Nas ends Lil’ Wayne’s 4-week reign on the Billboard chart with his latest album, Untitled. Although I absolutely love the new single from Nas, “Hero,” featuring Keri Hilson, I didn’t think it’d debut at #1 on the charts due to the lack of promotion. Even though Nas always seemed to be on the blogs, I never heard much about the release date for his album.
Nas’ album sold 187,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, becoming the rapper’s fifth #1 release on the charts.
Nas’ prior album, 2006′s Hip-Hop Is Dead also debuted at #1 but sold 354,000 over Christmas week. Meanwhile, after three non-consecutive weeks at #1, Tha Carter III slips to #2 with a 15% sales decrease to 105,000.
i like what tim is talking about.
[can't wait to hear that jonas brothers track since i absolutely adore them!]
nas album is hot. everyone need to listen to this album. great job nas
NAS is and forever will be the man. Now a days young dumb kids think the dumbest Sh*t is hot. Nas would absolutley destroy lil wayne with his lolli pop lickin a$$. Sure wayne is doing his thing and i’m not knocking him but come on 6/7yrs ago nobody was saying wayne was the best rapper alive. Maybe back then he was the best grim reaper.Nas holds his place in my hall of fame forever… Wayne… not so much.
Wow… ppl still buy music? That’s awesome LMAO! Sike naw, seriously I buy the music of artists I feel really deserve it because some artists are actually that… artists; not just an image or poster-child. I’m happy to see Nas finally getting what he deserves. Dude may have some ideals I don’t agree w/ (and some I do) but he is VERY talented and you can’t deny that.
T.I.’S COVER IS NICE. VERY DIFFERENT.

Love TI’s album cover, I don’t know seems like TI has lost some of his majic since he went to jail, I don’t know if its just me or not, but he doesn’t appeal to me like he used to.

aNas did what to Lil Wayne? Quit playin.
@70. Just say YOU didn’t like it. It aint against the law. Nas been on the scene since 1991 and a certified legend. obviously enough people dig his music.
They NEED to make a shirt out of T.I’s album cover
Not surprised @ Nas #1 debut. There’s different sides of hip hop and not every hip hop fan is falling all over Lil Wayne and the Lollipop. Nas is what I like to call a “thinking MC” and for those of us who appreciate his style, coping his album was a must. The fact that he’s SEEEXXXYY AS HELL didn’t hurt my decsion to buy his album either
Idk why he is doin that…its all over limewire already…LOL
I’d like to share it with the hotties who also like sports I met at **R I C H L O V I N G.C O M***,where the hot affluent singles and sexy girls and models to hook up
