Timbaland's Beats

In a video, we see Timbaland playing some beats for Jay-Z. One of those beats eventually became the famous song "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" from The Black Album. But guess what? Jay-Z didn't choose it at first! Another beat from the same video was later used by Ludacris for his song "Number One Spot/The Potion." Jay-Z missed out on these awesome beats!


Pump It Up by Joe Budden

Next, we have a beat called "Pump It Up" by Joe Budden. The producer Just Blaze played this beat for Jay-Z, but he passed on it. However, Jay-Z later changed his mind and made a remix of the song. This caused some tension between him and Joe Budden. Oops!
