Fresh off the release of his third solo album,Shock Value II, producer Timbaland is changing his tune … or rather the genre of music he’ll continue to make.
In a recent interview with MTV, the super-producer is saying that he’s done with making hip-hop music, explaining that his core-audience watches “Desperate Housewives.”
“I was done with hip-hop a long time ago,” Timbaland explained. “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,” he continued. “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.”
