Revolt TV uploaded a video of Timbaland to YouTube on Tuesday night, in which Timbaland said his music featuring Michael Jackson's voice would be released.
Earlier coverage of this matter had already been reported. The Huffington Post writes:
"As Vulture has pointed out, Timbaland's enthusiasm for using the work of a late artist he never collaborated with (they only spoke once by phone) is highly hypocritical. This is the same producer who last year harshly criticized Drake for using Aaliyah's vocals and told the media that 'Aaliyah's music belongs only to her soulmate, which is me.' But Drake at least has a tattoo of Aaliyah — what does Timbaland have?"
The website Vulture wrote:
"The endlessly opportunistic wave of 'resurrecting Michael Jackson's voice' has now reached Timbaland. Yes, the same Timbaland who, when Drake and Chris Brown came along with songs after Aaliyah's death, said her voice belonged only to her soulmate — him. Now this same Timbaland admits he only spoke with Michael Jackson once by phone, yet has a song from him. 'Chicago' is on the way. Maybe even an album."
In his new video, Timbaland says "it's my time now" and "you will hear my music with MJ's voice." This may appeal to Timbaland and his fans, but he should know that Michael Jackson fans want to hear Michael Jackson's music — not Timbaland's.
One commenter under the Huffington Post article expressed their view as follows: "Maybe Timbaland thinks that a Michael Jackson song sounds better with him going 'ay ay ay ay' over it."
Timbaland referenced a song called "Chicago" and said it was given to him by L.A. Reid.
The video was removed from Revolt TV's YouTube channel shortly after it was uploaded. Following the video's release, fan emails flooded the Michael Jackson Estate, and it is believed that this led to the removal of the video.
The network had also previously directed fans to a private show featuring Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Timberlake. Many people immediately left their workplaces and headed to a concert in Brooklyn. When no sign of any artist appeared, the network apologized on Twitter and said there had never been any concert plans.
