We’re used to Timbaland staying behind the scenes, but in this candid interview with REVOLT, the esteemed producer came to the forefront to speak on falling out with Jay-Z, later reconciling and the making of Jay-Z‘s latest album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, which Timbaland heavily produced. He then speaks at length about how a Timbaland and Kanye West album would sound.
The highlight of the interview is when Timbo discusses the benefits of independently distributing music. It’s very refreshing to hear a giant of rap endorse selling albums for $2 or $3. Nevertheless, it’s important to remember his net worth: not everyone is sitting on or remotely near $80 million. In other words, not everyone can afford to completely circumnavigate the label system. Still, it’s nice to see a giant of the game finally acknowledge the DIY ethos that the peons have been endorsing for ages. Watch the full interview below.
