Looks like they are really about to go in! I’m looking forward to hearing some good music from Game. I love Cool & Dre but that “Big Money” track was not the one. Spotted at Nah Right.

“We Will Survive” is a track that was intended for The Documentary but was left on the cutting room floor. Thank Navjosh for this one.

If it wasn’t for this place, Lord Finesse never would’ve fucked wit Dr.Dre on 2001. A crossroad for all loop diggers and disco fiends, Lower East Side’s A1 Records gets weekly visits from the likes of Pete Rock, DJ Premier, but also LCD sound system and many other producers and deejays from all fields. That being said, none of them ever had access to what you’re about to see. Mind the step.

Several months ago during Miami Week, we introduced you to a cat named Billy Blue, who Timbaland and Akon are backing. Well, Tim is teaming up with a music heavyweight to bring you another newcomer. It doesn’t get any bigger than this: Timbaland and fellow super-producer Dr. Dre are joining forces on an upcoming project.

“I got two hip-hop artists, believe it or not,” Tim said Monday, running down what’s coming up for him besides his just-released Timbaland Presents: Shock Value II. “One is this guy me and Akon signed, Billy Blue. The other one, I think people gonna wanna know about. Me and Dre just signed him, this guy named Hayes from Detroit. Incredible storyteller. Incredible. Reminds me of how B.I.G. tells his stories.”

Timbo the King explained that Hayes has been around for a while and no one brought him to the table.

“He kind of was around the table,” Tim said. “He wrote some of Dre’s Detox — if Dre ever is gonna do it — but he wrote a lot of that for Dre. He’s just been around the camp. I knew him from my homeboy, so he’s been around both camps. Me and Dre both think he’s a crazy artist. So we said, ‘Let’s do him together.’ ”

Other artists on Tim’s lineup for 2010 include Brandy, a.k.a. Bran’ Nu. Tim envisions half her album being rap, half being her traditional R&B. Then there’s Soshy, who appears on Shock Value’s II’s “Morning After Dark.”

“She’s from Paris,” the Virginia native explained. “She’s like Amy Winehouse to the 10th power. But not crazy. Sane. Not saying Amy Winehouse is crazy; she’s ambitious. Soshy is ambitious, but she has a point to prove.”

50 Cent and Dr. Dre helped Game concoct a classic album on The Documentary. And although things between Fif and Game went sour, the G-Unit General said he’s open to working with Dre again to break another MC.

“We were actually talking about a new artist, working together on a new project,” 50 Cent told MTV News. “I said, ‘Just because we had a car accident, that doesn’t mean we’re not going to drive again — it just means we had an accident with that one.’ He laughed at me. He said, ‘All right. I’ll give it a try,’ because he was unsure about how I would feel about helping with [another new artist],” he continued. “Obviously Dre can create the best possible production for the artist and groom him to the right space. But going to introduce him to the general public would be something you want 50 to go do.”

Since their falling out post-Documentary, 50 has vowed never to work with Game again. And even though Game has reunited with Dre for the Detox LP as well as his own R.E.D. Album, 50 says he wouldn’t consider jumping on a record featuring Game.

“No,” Fif said flatly when asked what his response would be to Dre’s request for a reunion collaboration. “No, I wouldn’t do it. I’d be on a record, on a song, on the [Detox] album, but not on that record [with Game]. That’s not making a song, that’s making an event — things for people to talk about. … So there’s a verse there that you think would be great for both of us, I just say, ‘Erase his verse and put something in better than that.’ ”

50 briefly addressed the role Dr. Dre played in his and Game’s feud on Before I Self Destruct’s “So Disrespectful.”

“I said, ‘I gave Game hits, he told me to suck di–/ Start screamin’ Westside and Dre ain’t say sh–!’ ” 50 recited.

“It was an absolute true statement and Dre approved because it was true,” 50 continued. “He heard the record and was like, ‘Whoa! Out the park with that.’ He likes it, he doesn’t care. Creatively, you’re right, ’cause he didn’t say anything when that took place — or not anything that the public heard.”
