I know Timbo & Scott Storch were beefing in 2007 while Scott was in the middle of a serious cocaine addiction, and the guys have since reconciled. However, this recent Timbaland interview about Scott seems to be full of backhanded compliments and disses on the low.

On one hand you can interpret this as "tough love" or Tim just being brutally honest, but I think Tim took their little beef to heart and wants to affirm his alpha dog-producer status. Check it out below, courtesy of SOHH.

"I can't beef with a guy, we had a serious friendship," Timbaland said in an interview. "He worked with me for years, after he stopped working with Dre, he started working with me. And the dude is hot, the boy is hot. I think he's good on his own but when me and Dre got him together, we bring something outta Scott you've never seen...You know what it is, his crew and everybody getting to him got to him. I'ma bigger person and I told Scott sometimes he's weak. And everybody's getting in his ear blah, blah blah...and it's not even like that...Scott has gone through a lot of pain...You gotta be patient [with the industry hate] because you can't feed into it. I'm 30-something years old, freak I look like feeding into somebody whose 20-something years old?" (Radio Planet TV)
