First "Verizon Honors Super Producer Timbaland as the First Ever ‘Mobile Producer in Residence’ For V CAST":
"Timbaland plans to start production of his mobile album at the beginning of March, collaborating with a new guest artist on one track each month and creating the track from the fully-equipped Verizon Mobile Recording Studio Bus. As the bus stops in various cities, fans will get access to recording sessions and get a glimpse into Timbaland’s creative process — in person or through their mobile phones."
Then Timbaland melts down at the Verizon/People magazine party:
"With a blinged-out cross dangling from his neck, a sweaty Timbaland addressed the crowd at Los Angeles’ Avalon Club just after finishing a high energy set with longtime muse Missy Elliott…
"Next time I have one of my homeboys in line, let that (expletive) in!" Timbaland shouted as the event winded down after 2 a.m., adding that he was a "peoples person." "I don’t like to see my people turned around for some (expletive) magazine … (expletive) y’all!"
After his tirade ended, he walked off stage with music blasting. The party was effectively over."
Leading to Miss Info’s lesson for Corporate America:
"But that’s the problem, corporate suits. You want to be cool in the red carpet photos, but hip hop stars aren’t like wedding singers. You’re not just booking them…you throwing a party with them…or even for them. So, if you don’t want their people at your party…then better just find some socialite deejaying-son-of-an actor to play their hit hip hop songs instead."
ProHipHop’s Take:
Can you say ‘roid rage? Hey, anybody heard the latest on Britney?
