Timbaland might not be good enough for Jay-Z.

The hip hop star’s upcoming record was previously reported to be produced by Timbaland, but Jay-Z tells Rolling Stone magazine that plans are not set in stone.

“You know, I love Timbaland–he is like a brother to me–but until the music is done, it’s premature.”

On top of recording sessions with Timbaland, Jay-Z revealed he will also work with Kanye West–making the sessions a “musical competition” between the two superproducers.

“I’m a person that works off music. If Timbaland makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album. If Kanye West makes 10 great tracks, then he produces the album. If he makes three, I’ll take three. I let the music dictate the direction.”

Jay-Z was in Canada last weekend to play the first annual Pemberton Music Festival.
