Last night, Timbaland’s long-awaited Timbaland Presents Shock Valueleaked its way around the Internet. Due out next month, Value has more guest stars than Brett Ratner’s grotto, including Justin Timberlake, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Fall Out Boy, and, best of all, Magoo! We missed you, Magoo! Three tracks are below; can you guess which supporting artist demands listeners to “bounce like your ass got the hiccups”?

Wow. “Arms Race” was a guilty pleasure for me (more choirs! more disco!) but I couldn’t even get through the first minute of this. Then I listened to Bounce and it was almost as bad, though at least somebody took the vice clamp off of JT’s scrotum.
I’m waiting for the Timbaland-Bjork combination. A little Bjork can save almost anything (except Matthew Barney’s cred).
You know, I work in the industry—and every day, when I hear shit like this, I completely reconsider my entire life’s worth.
Timbaland really needs to learn to shut up and let Elton John play.
Not liking any of those… Interested in hearing that song they played for a few bars in the shock value preview video that had the girl singing with the trance-y lead thing going on.
I’ve heard most of these. Where the fuck is the full track with M.I.A.?
Idolator!!! *shakes fist*
@konflictofinterest: It’s not on the U.S. edition, alas. All the more reason that David Wright should pick “Galang,” right?
Somebody, somewhere, PLEASE make Fall Out Boy go away. PLEASE.
Aquemini: if they keep doing things like this, so close on the heels of the Kanye West collaboration, they’ll go away faster than you can say “Pete Wentz’s penis.”
Re: Bounce
I’m sorry, did I just hear JT say “like yo ass got the hiccups”? Please tell me I didn’t hear that.
My ass got the hiccups once, but it was due to an unfortunate pairing of Taco Bell and white wine.
Timbaland, why?
Holy Shit! That Fall Out Boy track really brings out the absolute worst of both genres. Emo-hop? Shudder.
It’s worse than having ass-hiccups.
The fact that Fall Out Boy didn’t disappear when that tool lead singer told Rolling Stone or some other magazine that he carried a 30 pound electric outlet converter on tour with him in Europe because his flat-iron didn’t fit European power outlets leads me to believe that, unfortunately, no matter how shitty their cross over attempts are, they will not go away. I hate music sometimes.
am i mistaken in that early press for the album mentioned a lil wayne song?? what gives??
The chorus to “One & Only” sounds like a throwaway hook from the Linkin Park/Jay-Z mash-up collaboration, only ten times worse. How is that even possible? Because it’s fucking FALL OUT BOY, that’s why. They have the magical power to make anything they touch turn into solid poop.
Timbaland, you are America’s premier beatsmith. Why’d you take a backseat to that high-school-talent-show emo-punk drummer? And why are you SINGING?
Timbaland, dahling, just stick to producing and making “wiki, wiki” sounds, ok?
@maura: Amen, girlfriend.
