Producer Extrordinare Timbaland Is Set To Produce His Own Video Game...

The Hip-Hop producer is set to team up with Rockstar Games, one of the most popular & best known producers of Games around the world, to make the "Beaterator", a PSP game that will enable anyone to produce their very own Hip-Hop beat.

The Beaterator is already available online as a trial version, but promises to exceed this when the full purchase version is available in the summer of 2007. Tim is quoted as saying
"I'm thrilled to be partnering with them and making music for Beaterator. I cannot wait to get this in the hands of our fans."

I for one can't wait to get a copy of this, in the meantime, you can check out the web based version here. If you are like me & love playing around with beats, give it a go.

Just Thought I Would Post The Full, Higher Quality, Tim Video.

From the offset, you can feel the unique styling of Kelis all over this record, from the first single "Bossy" I thought that this was something a bit special, despite the views of critics, this album is full of Hot, top notch production from the likes of Cool & Dre, Linda Perry, will.i.am, Kelis herself & loud mouthed Scott Storch took time from his dissin' of Timbo to have a go at production.

Some of the lyrics are a little questionable & "I Don't Think So" being a personal annoyance as a very childish, pop orientated track. But, this should not & will not put you off of a great album from a unique artist.

"Fire" is the definite highlight of this album, with it's infectious beats & stunning rhythm, if this is not released as a single, it will be a crime, this track is so Hot & should be shared.

All in all, this is a quality piece of material from a truly unique & understated artist, definitely one of my pics of the year, almost up there with Justin's work & surpasses Beyonces material of late, most definitely one for the club, or if your like me, one for the car.
