Rapper JAY-Z is keen to pit music heavyweights TIMBALAND and KANYE WEST against each other - by claiming he will only choose the best of their offered tracks.

Reports suggested hitmaker Timbaland was set to produce every track for the 99 Problems star's forthcoming album.

But Jay-Z has distanced himself from the superproducer's claims, insisting Timbaland's producing plans were "premature".

And if that wasn't enough of a blow to the Elevator star, Jay-Z has namechecked Kanye West as a possible producer for the LP - depending on whether the singer/rapper can come up with the goods.

Jay-Z tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I'm a person that works off music.

"If Timbaland makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album, 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."

 

 

 

 

He's quite hard to please then :lol:

 

Timbo and Kanye should refuse to do it

^ I agree.

 

Timbaland would be great. But Jay-Z wants too much if you ask me!

 

Jay Z is c**p now hes last few singles were awful!

Let's not get it twisted right..

 

Jay-Z is $h!t. End off.

 

Timbaland is far better.
