“Ain’t I” Demystified
Jay-Z - “Ain’t I” (produced by Timbaland)
The wwwLand has been abuzz with a “new” Jay-Z track titled “Aint’ I.” DJ Clue debuted the song, which features Timbaland’s production, while yelling Blueprint 3. Understandably, that has everyone now wondering if Jay is secretly working on — God forbid — Blueprint 3.
Anyhow, it turns out “Ain’t I” is an old track that was originally recorded for Timbaland Presents Shock Value. According to ew.com, Jay-Z canceled his Oscar plans with Beyonce to work on the song. Despite the effort, Hov and his engineer couldn’t get the track completed in time. So, Timbaland had to face with the tough decision of dumping a high-profile collaboration on the cutting room floor in order to meet his album submission deadline.
So, please dead those BP3 rumors before it becomes reality.
