A totally not stoned Timbaland recently revealed a few details to MTV about 10 songs from the “hot” forthcoming Madonna album that he’s been working on with Justin Timberlake in London, and if you can parse what he’s saying then you get a free iced latte on me:

“Ah, man,” Tim gushed. “There’s this one song, we taking it back to ‘You must be my luck-eee starrrr!’ … Remember ‘Ugly’ by Bubba Sparxxx? I got a beat similar to that. The hook is no words. It’s saying stuff named after coffee — all these different names for coffee — is the hook. … The name of the song is ‘La, La.’ Pharrell did a hot one for her too called ‘Candy Shop.’ She’s off the chain.”

So…the hook is no words. Except the hook is all these different names for coffee. And names are words. I’m confused. I also have no idea what “Lucky Star” over a Bubba Sparxxx beat with a wordless hook made up of Starbucks references could possibly sound like, but Tim’s certainly got me curious. He’s also been working with 50 Cent, and he spoke a little about the work ethic that made the “Ayo Technology” video so special:

“We didn’t do our scenes together. I was tired. I don’t know what [50] was doing. I know I was tired, I know he was tired. It was fun, man. When I saw all them girls, I was like, ‘Where they get all these girls from?’ Then I went back to sleep.”
