Timbaland using Beaterator on album News

PSP News by Robert Purchese

16 October, 2009

Hip-hop's prime producer Timbaland has said he used PSP game Beaterator to make a pair of tracks for his upcoming album Shock Value 2.

"Oh yeah, I made a couple from that... I had to," he told Invasion Radio after bigging-up the capabilities of the software (Koalition via Kotaku) he helped create.

Beaterator is a collaboration between Rockstar and Timbaland, and offers a bevy of music production tools to set you on your path to hip-hop fame.

We thought it a "rare triumph". Head over to our Beaterator review to find out why.

Ringing endorsement there for a product that probably made him several more pots of cash to add to his money mountain.

Gazza_UK you do realise that Cornell co-produced every single track on that "scream" album?

Therefore your post is fail.

That being said, hearing Beaterator (ugh it's such a crappy name) samples on a genuine music album would actually be pretty cool.

"I had to use Beaterator" said Timbaland, "making music any other way is too difficult and scary and I'm not sure what is good or not and I don't know how to play any instruments so I just press buttons and hope, can I have some money now?"

And he lied for sure. At best he used some samples that are in there.

I didn't even know who Chris Cornell is. But according to Wiki, he is still alive. Sod that, according to Google he is still alive. And I am confused even more. Gazza, care to provide a link to educate me?

He think he was referring to his career.

I seriously doubt he's one of the "most accomplished producers alive"... There are guys that's been producing pop-music since the 60s, I can't quite see how he can compete.

I would even call this old psycho more accomplished: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Spector

Ok i exaggerated, but if Timbaland and Chris Cornell stayed away from each other life would be better.

Chris Cornell is ex singer of Sound Garden, Temple of the Dog and most recently Audioslave. I just really didnt like the collaboration , there that was probably what i wanted to say lol

Beaterator is a piece of over priced crap software, that I've now deleted from my PSP. Don't buy it, unless you feel like throwing away your money on things that in the end will just piss you off.

@ Gazza_UK everyone hated "Scream" tbh. Awful album.

The beauty of beaterator is that you can produce what you think scream should've sounded like :)

Chris Cornell has done nothing of note since Soundgarden's demise. Audioslave were terrible.

I saw Soundgarden live many years ago. CC had only just cut his hair as I recall.

That dates me terribly, I realise.

He had to use it? Was this because he was paid by Sony or because he was stuck on the bus with a PSP when he was due in the studio?

Timbaland didn't ruin Chris Cornell, Chris took care of that himself. I was fine with Euphoria Morning, hoping that it was a step on his journey of musical self-discovery and that he was building towards something awesome. And then Scream came out.

And Audioslave weren't that bad. IMO they're quite good, if unremarkable except for Cornell's voice.
