Did you know? Timbo & Kardinal Offishall

A couple years back, Kardinal Offishall talked about his up and coming album at Fire & Glory and a track from Timbaland that was purposely left off the album. Here's what Kardinall had to say:

The Timbaland and Kardinal song does exist and it did cost a house to produce the song,” says the Toronto-based MC. “Mind you, it wasn’t directly out of my pocket — he got a whole heap of money. But I made a conscious decision not to put that on the album. Not ’cause I don’t think Timbaland’s talented and because the song wasn’t sick, but I don’t believe that the music I create or people that I work with are any less talented than Timbaland. They just haven’t had as much opportunity and maybe don’t have the light. A lot of these cats have incredible beats, incredible. The only difference between them and other producers is the opportunity.”

Of course info like that had the Timbo stans salivating but as with any exisisting-but-not-yet-released Tim track it's all about the waiting game. Fast forward to 2008 and we're still waiting (patiently) for the track. Recently Kardinal briefly touched on the subject of the Tim track yet again in an interview:

"I did the Clipse ‘Grindin” remix and then I met Pharrell and then Missy plugged me with Timbaland. The song I did with Timbaland never came out, but my point is a lot of stuff got donewith networking outside of your bloack and your city. You have to realize that the world is your station and that’s how I get down."

Will we ever hear this mysterious Kardinall/Tim track? I wouldn't bet on it but you just never know.

In the meantime if you haven't already definitely check out Kardinall's latest single "Dangerous" F/ Akon co-produced by a longtime Chronicles Remix It! contributor hAZEL. Congrats my friend!
