Timbaland On Scott Storch, "I Told Him Sometimes He's Weak"

Hitmaker Timbaland recently discussed his past relationship with Scott Storch and the producer's inability to ignore his camp's gossip, which allegedly sparked their 2007 beef.

Speaking with radio personality DJ Whoo Kid, Timbo revealed the advantages Scott had when he worked alongside himself and Dr. Dre.

"I can't beef with a guy, we had a serious friendship," Timbaland said in an interview. "He worked with me for years, after he stopped working with Dre, he started working with me. And the dude is hot, the boy is hot. I think he's good on his own but when me and Dre got him together, we bring something outta Scott you've never seen...You know what it is, his crew and everybody getting to him got to him. I'ma bigger person and I told Scott sometimes he's weak. And everybody's getting in his ear blah, blah blah...and it's not even like that...Scott has gone through a lot of pain...You gotta be patient [with the industry hate] because you can't feed into it. I'm 30-something years old, freak I look like feeding into somebody whose 20-something years old?" (Radio Planet TV)

Storch previously justified his music beef with Tim based on the producer's "piano man" reference on 2007's "Give It To Me."

"I just felt like enough was enough," Storch said in a past interview. "I heard the song playing, and I knew it was about me. People were calling me saying, 'This dude is taking shots at you,' then interviews popped up. So enough was enough. I needed to defend myself like a man is supposed to do. I'm not gonna take it to the streets or hurt somebody or do any bullsh*t like that. But I just had to speak up. I'm not a rapper, but I wasn't about to have somebody else fight my battle for me."
