Timbaland Prepares To Quit Music

Because he's 'too innovative'....

June 30, 2007 by Chris Taylor

Timbaland has revealed he’s “about to throw in the towel” because he’s “too innovative” for the music industry.

The uber-producer claims to grown disillusioned with the music so is preparing for retirement as soon as he finds a suitable protégé to pass his knowledge on to.

He explains, “Music is boring right now. I'm too innovative for the world. I've been doing it so long, I'm about to throw in the towel.

"I'm about to de-crown myself and pass it over to one of the up-and-coming producers under me. They won't be able to be me - there's only one Timbaland - but there's a certain sound that I try to teach."

Pity he couldn’t have retired before staining his copy book by doing a song with Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado.

Staining his copyboook by working with Timberlake? You mean, the same Timberlake with whom he’s done some of his best work (eg. Cry Me A River)?
