The album is a remarkably Ross-centered project with little room for off-brand collaborations and breakout features. I’ve listened to Hood Billionaire a few times already. “Every artist has his own choice,” Timbaland shrugged. “As a producer,” Charlamagne asked Timbaland, “why didn’t you encourage Ross to put that version out? Because the version Ross put out needs some work.” Among hosts Charlamagne tha God, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy, the consensus is that the original version of “Movin’ Bass” is a more complete, compelling record than the version Ross dropped the other day. The final chemistry is neutered and unfulfilled.Įarlier this week, Timbaland addressed the switcheroo in an interview with Power 105’s Breakfast Club morning show. The official cut of “Movin’ Bass,” released last week, cuts Tink’s rapping and melodies from the track and leaves Jay Z with only a hook to his credit. Also understandably, Ross wanted the potential hit for himself. Understandably, Timbaland would’ve preferred the version of “Movin’ Bass” that featured his own fledgling artist rapping in concert with two industry veterans. “I gave her a song, ‘Movin’ Bass,’ and said, ‘If you get this right, I’m gonna bow down to you.’”Īfter Tink nailed her couple of verses in the studio, Timbaland played the track for Jay Z on a plane, and the rest is, well, the following:Ī three-way Ross-Jay-Tink collabo is conceptual gold. “I don’t help her with nothing,” Timbaland swears. studio session with Da Internz in 2012, with Timbaland signing Tink to a recording contract shortly thereafter. The two have been collaborating since Timbaland discovered Tink during an L.A. Tink is a Chicago rapper on the come-up, recently poached by Timbaland, who’s now working as her benefactor and sensei. (If you haven’t been bumping Tink already, return to this post once you’ve cued “Don’t Tell Nobody,” which is a perfect song f/ Jeremih.) It’s possible that we’ll never hear the pristine, tagless mp3 of “Movin’ Bass,” the Timbaland-produced single from Rick Ross’ Hood Billionaire that presently features Jay Z and originally featured young Chicago rapper Tink as well.
