Timbaland reveals he was initially reluctant to play the "Big Pimpin'" beat for Jay-Z because he originally made it for himself and Magoo.

its the beat and the opening riff that hooks people in. plus in Texas you know it was a frenzy. pimps had that whole state in a chokehold at that time.

Magoo would have ruined that beat with his cartoonish voice

I need that clip of Timbo playing beats for Jay in the studio...I think it was the Fade to Black doc

Magoo probably had the best flow for Timbo tracks. He grew up with him and just knew how to rap on those tracks before anyone. Hes not a good lyricist but I still love their albums.

Big Pimpin is a dope beat but kind of a corny Jay-Z song.

He wanted the money. What would Magoo have brought in sales?? Nada

These people always drop these “thank God that didn’t happen” ass stories. This is up there with Cube passing up the O Dog role

He's told this story before though. Story is like 20 years old.
