January 27, 2007 Justin Timberlake & Nelly Furtado Team Up For DISS TRACK!!!

Justin Making Fun Of Prince

I know this song has been out for a while but the new HQ version of the song just surfaced so I wanted to post it. For those of you who don’t know, Timberland, Nelly Furtado, and Justin Timberlake collaborated on a song for Timbaland’s new album Shock Value.

In the song, they each take turns dissing their respective haters. Nelly is rumored to be talking about Fergie, who reportedly altered much of her album at the last minute to fit the style of Nelly’s #1 hit “Promiscuous”. Timbaland disses his former piano player and protégé, Scott Storch, who has since gone on to become a successful producer. JT’s verse takes a major jab at none other than the petite purple-one, Prince.

Timbaland, Justin, and Nelly

I’ll fill you in. Back when “SexyBack” was taking over the radio, Prince yelled to a sold out crowd at one of his concerts, “For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!” This didn’t sit well with the Justin, who has long emulated and looked up to the diminutive popstar. In this song JT finally responded to the comment… by saying “If sexy never left, then why is everybody on my shit? Don’t hate on me just because you didn’t come up with it.” DAMN!

Listen to the song and judge for yourself. Enjoy!

“Give It To Me”

Is it going is it going is it going is it going?
I don’t know what you’re looking for

[Nelly]
I’m the type of girl that’ll look you dead in the eye (eye)
I’m real as they come if you don’t know why im fly-y-y-y-y
seen ya try to switch it up but girl you ain’t got to
I’m the wonderwoman let me go get my rope
I’m a supermodel and mommy, si mommy
amnesty international got bangkok to montok on lock
you love my ass and my abs and the video called promiscuous
my style is ridiculous-s-s-s-s

[chorus]
if you see us in the club we’ll be acting real nice
if you see us on the floor you’ll be watchin all night
we ain’t here to hurt nobody
so give it to me give it to me give it to me
wanna see you work your body
so give it to me give it to me give it to me

[Timbaland]
when timbo is in the party everbody put up their hands
I get a half a mill for my beats you get a couple grand-d-d-d-d
never gonna see the day that I ain’t got the upper hand
I’m respected from californ.i.a. way down to japan
I’m a real producer and you just the piano man
your song gonna top the charts, I heard em, I’m not a fan-n-n-n-n
(like said before…you know what they say here)….
talkin greasy im the one that gave them they chance
somebody need to tell em they can’t do it like I can

[chorus]

[JT]
Could you speak up and stop the mumbling
I don’t think you’re getting clear.
When you’re sitting on the top it’s hard to hear you from way up here.
I saw you tryin to act cute on tv just let me clear the air.
We missed you on the charts last week
Damn that’s right, you wasn’t there.
If sexy never left, then why is everybody on my shi-it-it?
Don’t hate on me just because you didn’t come up with it.
So if you see us in the club go on and walk the other way
Cuz our run will never be over; not at least until we say

[chorus out]

  • Justin really needs to realize he has built his career on the necks of other really talented AFRICAN AMERICAN musicians. Sit his ass down somewhere and take further notes.

  • JT needs to stop crying…he should be honored that Prince even took notice of his music and bothered to make a comment.

  • why is everyone acting like justin cant come back if someone says something about him? if prince would come out with a recent hit then he wouldnt feel threatened enough to have to even bother to comment about justin. Prince is a legend but having said that theres no reason for him to diss him just DO YOU Prince. Trust me no ones trying to take your throne…damn!

  • why should it matter who did who? artists should support eachother. “imitation sincerest form of flattery” JT puhleease, was hotter in N’STYNC. still a fan after all, just saying, truth hurts, and those artists think they rule the earth. what about the rest of us? “ur just the piano man” so? as long as some can play, since not all can. ouch, my gay JT ass is told. LOL.

  • Leave Justin alone y’all….Prince is over n done with…He has every right to diss back!!!!

  • everyone just needs to shut up and mind there own buisness. if everyone would stop talking so much shit then there would be so much less drama. not that i support what these people are doing but i understand where they’re coming from. but sorry to say were not in high school anymore, so GROW UP!

  • First of all, Fergie started out with the diss “but I’m not promiscuous” on the track Fergalicious. What a bitch…she started it. Sorry she’s fat and she needs to take out that stupid eyebrow ring. And prince is pretty much over…I like what he did in the ’80s but, let’s face it…. Singing once at the superbowl doesn’t equate a comeback. He should respect the new generation of talent…and Justin is IT!

  • its about janet

    He’s actually talking about Janet Jackson, who on like Oprah or something, totally dissed him (about that wardrobe malfuction stuff). Thats why he’s telling her not to mumble (cuz she talks so soft) and cuz her album sucked on the charts. besides, when does prince ever act cute? just creepy to me…

  • You’re all iteots.

  • Well to be honest and not be a hater, JT is hot and doing his thing. There is no way in the world he can diss Prince!! Prince has a hotel in Vegas with his symbol on the side of the entire bldg. Didn’t Prince win two or three grammy’s from his last album? I think the diss was for Janet. Janet was on TV trying to act cute and you couldn’t hear her. She had a new cd come out and she wasn’t on the charts last week!!

  • you people read way tooo much into things! they need to quit beefin and just make music!

  • why is AFRICAN AMERICANS in caps locks 1st of all? secondly… if he needs to carry on takin notes why is he the hottest star on the planet rite now? i think its the other way round but i think alot of them mite not hav finished high school so may find the note taking a tad difficult.

    secondly whoever started it, jt finished it… if ur idol walked up2 u and slapped u wudnt u hit back? JT stood up 4 himself… game over

  • “You’re all iteots.” what the hell does “iteots” mean? hah

  • timbaland, nelly furtado, and justin timberlake are so hot right now. dont hate on them, they just make good music

  • The fact that you are talking about it, is what artists want. Artists need publicity and the most effective publicity is word of mouth. Read into it as you wish but behind the scenes they are all virtually record label mates. Do you think JT would diss his idols sister (MJ)..ha ha everyone is desperate to work with the king of pop before he stops singing all together…its business pure music business.
