In anticipation of his new solo album, Million Dollar Backpack, to be released by Koch on July 8, Skillz recently explained why he is no longer associated with Timbaland and Missy Elliott. After appearing on Tim's Bio and Aaliyah's remix of "Are You That Somebody?," the Virgina comrades' relationship has dissolved into a pile of musical hopes. According to Skillz, "I think people were excited Tim was with a real lyricist. He was with a real spitter...He was a real good beatmaker, but early, early I don't think he had grown into a producer." Skillz believes that Timbaland tried too hard to live up to the hype of Dr. Dre. "I think Tim was so busy trying to kinda do what Dre was doing when Dre can't even do what you do. Dre can't make R&B. That's not his forte." Skillz also dishes out on why he can't stand to hear Missy's "Get Ur Freak On," "It's just that every time I see Missy, or every time I hear like 'Get Ur Freak On,' I get a bad feeling because of something that happened [between us] in the past. If I can say anybody kinda did me dirty at one point it would be her." Well damn. It's safe to say that they won't be exchanging gifts this Christmas. [HHDX]
