JT Making Cracks at Prince Again?

In his newest music video, "Give It to Me," Justin Timberlake appears to be taking another swipe at one of his biggest musical influences, Prince.

The track features JT, Nelly Furtado and Timbaland each doing a verse that takes a shot at someone. No word on who Furtado is singing about, and rumors have Timbaland taking aim at fellow producer Scott Storch. But Timberlake is more than likely slamming the Purple One when he says, "Now if sexy never left, then why is everybody on my s**t?"

Prince did a post-Emmy party last year where he joked, "For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!"

The new song wouldn't be the first crack Justin has made at Prince's expense. At the Golden Globes earlier this year, JT squatted in front of the microphone to make fun of Prince's small stature, when accepting an award on Prince's behalf. Hey JT, pick on someone your own size!

32. Justin Timberlake is not even in the same stratosphere with Prince. ......which is sad because of Prince's inactivity. He needs to concentrate on catching the Ushers of the world first! Prince is out of his league. Words to live by,....."Don't blatantly copy someone,....and then feel ballsy and try to diss them!" Unreal!

34. I liked Justin Timberlake, UNTIL, he said what he did at the Golden Globes. He was basically making fun of someones physical appearance, which isn't anything like making a comment about the title of a song.

I was shocked that he was so cocky as to say that about someone who has been around the music business and considered a musical great for as long as Prince has been.

35. This punk is the kind of guy that thinks he's a badass but is nothing but a pussy.Talks with a phony accent to sound as if he's from the hood.If dude ever walked down the wrong street he would shit his pants.As for why he thinks he's the shit.Very easy, MONEY,. Anyone on this earth could be as ugly as sin and walk with a hotchick as long as you have CASH.

37. Hot Tamale: sounds like you are having a bad day. Take a deep breath and calm the hell down.

38. If Prince is so incredible, why did everyone I know complain and change the channel during the Superbowl half time show that Prince did? He may have been big when say, George Michaels and Boy George were, but his era is far over and everyone that says Justin Timberlake is a white skinny kid with no talent should take a look at his stats and bank account from his platinum record sales, and his sold out concerts. Prince couldn't pay me to attend a concert of his.

39. NOW HOLD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SOME BULL****!

FIRST OF ALL, this song "Give it to me" is by TIMBALAND, its on TIMBALAND'S cd, it was produced by TIMBALAND. WHY THE HECK is it being called Justin's song? Heck u might as well call all of JT's albums Timbaland's (they really are, becuz Tim produced all of it & helped in writing it). JT would be NOTHIN without Tim! He's only useful 4 his looks & soprano/castrato voice. He would have crashed & burned w/ all the other NYSYNC members. This kinda goes out to all artists. The real artists in the music industry are the producers/writers. TIMBALAND 4 EVA!!!!

40. #22 Hot Tamale, you poor thing, ask your mommy for the fun little white pills.

41. Yes Justin CAN sing (I've seen him live MORE than once, and was front row WATCHING him... I can tell you 100% positive it wasn't recorded and there were no enhancements) he can ALSO play music, he plays the piano and the guitar! He is extremely talented, so get your facts straight. Who cares if he IS making fun of Prince.. if Prince is such a big boy then tell him to take it like one and laugh it off!

42. Wow....how can Justin make fun of the vioce he's strying to copy. ONLY Price can sing in falsetto and bring the house down. By the way... Price doesn't need voice enhancements....BRAT!!! Oh yeah... Justin you looked like an amiture playing the piano and guitar on the Grammy's. You need a better acting coach:-( Mea

43. This is old news. So old. People have been talking about this since last year. Apparently Nelly F. is taking a swipe at Fergie and Storch has already released a diss track in regards to Timbaland. God, TMZ where have you been? Oh wait, I know. For months the focus was on Britney Spears and her drinking and drug addictions and her inability to keep her clothes or hair on her body.

44. tmz is wrong this is not justins song
its timbalands song
timbaland is releasing an album in march(i think)

tmz what bullshit you guys are writing

justin has no creativity at all
justins album released last year shloud

45. Fuck Prince & Timberpussy both! Neither one ain't shit.

However,I do agree that whether is Timberbitch is talking about Janet or Prince, he needs to be bitch-slapped back down to Earth cuz he will NEVER be as successful as Janet or Prince.
