In a moment of weird Oedipal convergence/confusion as he attempts to give the (really dumb but apparently here to stay) “Super Tuesday” marketing plan some traction in an MTV interview, Timbaland confuses his “daddy” for his “big brother” as he claims he wants to schedule his next solo joint to drop concurently with the (ha ha) forthcoming Dr. Dre album:
“I gotta go against my daddy,” he said Friday from the ABC studios in New York, where the super-producer is filming a guest spot for the soap opera “One Life to Live.” “I call [Dr.] Dre my daddy. To make it be some talk, I gotta go against my big brother. He’s my big brother. [Who are] the two quarterbacks? Peyton Manning and Eli? When they have to go against each other, it’s like, ‘Do I really wanna go against my big brother?’ Dre is my mentor. That would drive people to the stores. Like, ‘Oh snap, Tim and Dre!’ That would be big. I asked Jay-Z who he would go against. He said, ‘The only person I would go against is my other homeboy: my friend Eminem.’ “
Thankfully Tim will never have to deal with the biblical (or maybe Olympian, in this case) humilation that would result from his need to “go against” his “daddy” (or his “big brother”), because of course Detox is never friggin’ coming out.
