Superstar rapper Jay-Z has said that either Kanye West or Timbaland could be involved with his next album.

It was thought that the Glastonbury headliner's next studio effort would be produced by Timbaland, but now Jay-Z has revealed that West could also come into the picture:

"I'm a person that works off music. If Timbaland makes ten great tracks then he produces the album, if Kanye West makes ten great tracks then he produces the album; if he makes three, I'll take three.

"I let the music dictate the direction. You know I love Timbaland, he is like a brother to me, but until the music is done it's premature."

Jay-Z was speaking to Rolling Stone.

kanye and timba both confess to employing ex members of Michael Jackson to make all ther beats.

Jackson, 74, looking tired announced his retirement, saying "I love those boys and I am proud to have made each and every one of the 563 Kanye joints that have cluttered up the charts since 2003. But enough is enough. I am going back to what I do best. Yaawyy-uh!"
