When Timbaland announced a few weeks ago that he and Jay-Z were planning an album solely between themselves, the memories of "Big Pimpin'" and "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" had Hip Hop fans salivating at the presumptuous thought.

Though the dream team combo wasn't necessarily an illusion brought about by Timbaland, Hov recently explained to Rolling Stone that no such project exists. As of now, Jigga also made it clear that he has no material for a new album, but he is creatively open to former producers who have brought the best out of him. "You know I love Timbaland, he is like a brother to me, but until the music is done it's premature. I'm a person that works off music. If Timbaland makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album, if Kanye West makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album; if he makes three, I'll take three. I let the music dictate the direction."

I don't think he meant to downplay the role Timbaland plays. It's mums the word, as far as details are concerned, on the upcoming project. I know there is much love and respect between those two. I'm sorry I don't take everything at face value especially news articles. It just would not be right unless some writer put a little spin in the mix to cause drama.
