Super producer Timbaland teamed up with Justin Timberlake in the video for their duet "Carry Out," which was originally filmed in December 2009 consisting mostly of live performance footage of Timbaland and Timberlake performing the song, it was supposed to premiere in January 2010 before it got shelved. In late January 2010, it was announced that a new video is going to be shot with director Bryan Barber, and premiered Friday on VEVO. This new video witnesses both super-sized talents feast on an assortment of eye candy and flirting with the ladies in the drive-in food outlet."Carry Out," a southern term used for restaurants where customers primarily pick up their orders, is Timbaland's third single from his third album "Shock Value II." The song was co-written and features Timberlake. Timbaland has said this is his favorite track on the album. This particular video showcases Timabland and Timberlake's chemistry as they dance and rap while models dressed as waitresses and French maids take their orders. The pair chant during the second verse. The clip ends with each model biting into a piece of chocolate cake and cherries with a smile, proving that food is still the way to a man's heart.
Timbaland recently said that he's done with hip-hop production and Timberlake have a long history of collaborating together, most notably on Timberlake's No.1 sophomore solo album, 2006's "FutureSex/LoveSounds" where the duo played with Prince-like rhythms and electronica, culminating in the ubiquitous single "My Love" featuring T.I. Last month during the producer/rapper's Hollywood show at the House of Blues, Timberlake joined his friend onstage for a performance of "Carry Out" along with "SexyBack" and "My Love." Timberlake also recently showed his clothing line, William Rast, during New York Fashion Week. The singer described the collection as a bridge between music and fashion. "Well, I think since the beginning of rock and roll, people have wanted to dress like rock stars," he told MTV News backstage at his label's fashion show. "I still find old Mick Jagger jackets that I wish I could pull out of his closet or something. Of course, they wouldn't fit me very tight. I think we all want to dress like rock stars."
Yeah, the man may have turned his back on all Hip-Hop not featuring a certain Shawn Corey Carter, but Timbaland still proves he can win with Pop as his profession. If you haven't find yourself humming this melody at any given moment, just wait. You will. Infectious like the plague, a lil' cowbell, triangle and Timberlake go a long way to leaving a stain in your memory bank.
