Timbaland also says that “Magna Carta Holy Grail” is “the best Jay-Z album.”
Timbaland has worked with Jay-Z for more than a decade, producing some of Hova’s biggest singles, including “Big Pimpin'” and “Dirt Off Your Shoulder.” The Virginia producer says that Jigga’s new Magna Carta Holy Grailalbum is the Brooklyn rapper’s finest artistic statement. “This is the best Jay-Z album,” Timbaland says in an interview with REVOLT. “I told him, I said, ‘All The Blueprint, those were good. But this is your first, first big album for the new millennium.”

Even though Timbaland produced several Magna Carta Holy Grail songs, he discusses in the REVOLT interview that he and Jay-Z had to reconcile after falling out. Timbaland says he flew to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York last year during Jay-Z’s eight-show run to open the arena in order to move past their differences. “It was over petty stuff,” Timbaland says of the former friction between them. “It was more personal stuff, disagreements. It was not no industry-related.
