Justin Timberlake to Release '20/20' Sequel in November?
Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience hasn’t even hit stores yet, but there’s already a sequel in the works. The pop star is reportedly readying a second installment to the album.
The Roots drummer ?uestlove spilled details about the 10-track follow-up in a forum post on Okayplayer (via HHNM).
“spoiler alert. 20/20 Vol 2 comes out in nov. (10 songs now…..10 songs later= 20 vision),” he revealed.
He also responded to the criticism Timberlake has faced for the album. “i admire the balls it took to make this record,” he said. “cause he coulda easily urshurd his work in and made diplo his teddy riley to 20/20’s dangerous instead of sticking with timb’s Quincy.”
After word of the sequel got out, a perturbed ?uestlove chided forum users. “friggin mofos done ran with this info snitching and shit,” he quipped. “back before social media i was all sharing treats and happy in our insular world. now mofos all using my position to get their blogs posting on. im going back to the shadows.”
During his appearance on “106 & Park,” Timberlake hinted that he and Jay-Z had recorded more songs in addition to “Suit & Tie.” “I don’t want to give too much away, but we’ve done a lot of songs together, so hopefully those will find a way to see the light of day,” said J.T.
Timberlake was joined by ?uestlove for a not-so-surprise show for Myspace last night in Austin, Texas, for SXSW. More than 750 people gathered at the Coppertank Events Center to hear him play new songs off The 20/20 Experience and past hits including “What Goes Around… Comes Around.”
