VIDEO – Timbaland to quit hiphop because fan base is white women who watch ‘Desperate Housewives’
Timbaland has done his research, and his demographic situation looks grim (in his eyes) so he’s on the way out of hip hop, and out of music. If you’re sad and crying because of this he won’t return your calls, fan mail or tweets because you are a white woman (probably European) who identifies with Carrie Bradshaw.
He says he’s been done with hip hop years ago, and his heart just isn’t in it. Maybe Timbaland needs to take some time and evaluate himself. Maybe all the success and riches has actually turned him into a suburban white woman whose only weaknesses are shoes, drama, and unobtainable Cinderella-style “Love.”
Whatever happens, he plans to sell as many copies of this latest album, Shock Value 2 to retire to a life where his only job are mani-pedis, botox treatments, and book of the month clubs that everyone just uses as an excuse to get drunk and gab. JK, here’s what he really told MTV:
“I was done with hip-hop a long time ago. Once my generation left, I left. I do it, but there’s nobody from my generation besides Jay who’s doing it. I look at Lil Wayne as being from my generation. Some people are still acceptable. Kanye is acceptable from my generation.
After my last album, I know where my bread and butter is at. I know 75 percent [of the people who buy my album] are women who love Timbaland and most are the women who watch ‘Desperate Housewives’ and all those others.
I did this research. It’s the women who watch ‘Sex and the City,’ ‘Desperate Housewives’ — all the real go-to-the-bar women like Timbaland, and mostly European women.
It lets me know that my fanbase is mostly women and they are from all cultures. So it’s not a person who loves mostly hip-hop. It’s a person who loves everything besides hip-hop.”
