It’s the kind of press every artist hopes for ahead of an album release. Yet, for a certain Justin Timberlake, it’s a reality.
The stage blazer’s latest single ‘Mirrors’ has held steady at the top of the Official UK Singles Chart for a second week, giving a major boost to its parent LP ‘The 20/20 Experience’. Due out on March 18th (and a day later in the US), the set has also spawned UK and US top ten in ‘Suit & Tie’.
In other JT news, it seems he’s not letting Kanye West‘s recent critique slide.
Details after the jump…
In a blink-and-miss-it moment during his performance of ‘Suit & Tie’ on Saturday Night Live yesterday, the former Nsync frontman switched up the lyrics, adding…
“My hits so sick got rappers acting dramatic”
See what we mean below at the 2.17 mark:
While there’s no doubt who Justin’s referring to, one has to wonder if this is calculated promo banter with an old buddy or something a little deeper.
Kanye is such a Queen, he really showed his true colors.
How you gonna climb on a stage and interrupt someone else’s award when your ‘friend’ didn’t win.
Then when she gets a lucrative business deal you decide to insult and clown her on stage.
No wonder he’s with Kim ‘fake ass’ Kardashian.
But kanye’s d*ck is still bigger though… And his music wayyyyy betta.
LMFAO
Kanye is a good artist but the man has some mental problems, Justin on the other hand is a good guy unless you try with him.
S****** Blonde are you a boy or girl? You gay or str8t? Are black or white..? And if you are a boy, do you have a big or small d***?
^ boy/gay/white/small d***
& Justin is a b****.
dead
LMAO, too much questions….
Damm! Rita, JT, all these white wack singers, biting of BLACK MUSIC, going in on our BLACK Talent. LIKE, they need to show some respect! I know they would not be doing latin music and then diss LATIN talent.
The last time I checked…
BLACK SINGERS are just sticking to R&B, Hip-Hop & Soul music. There are SO many genres out there to explore, just like whites have been doing.
F*** THE BLACKS THAT WILL CALL U A SELLOUT
that’s because Latin is not a race is an Ethnicity, they can be white, black, indian, arab, and even asian.
but in Latin culture. If a black singer dissed Alejandro Sanz. the latin world would rip blacks down. Blacks, like to rip each other apart and defend other races. I say this, cos, in terms of Rita Whora. her fans are now racially abusing blacks as whole and blacks are co signing. If a black singer racially abused Taylor, the whites would stick together and end that black. But blacks dont think like that. You are arab, right? Your people stick together and go mad when anyone offends islam. Only blacks hate on each other. S**** mentality we have! There! I said it!
I like JT, but the Janet, Kanye. Him being from the deep south…..Who knows what he really THINKS of blacks. There are blind items about top movie stars who HATE BLACKS ARE knows racist.
If one black person manages to EVER make it in Country. They will never be running up there mouth to country singers and legends. NO WAY. A black would never dare. But in our music………
I’m American and white, where do you get that, i’m not arab.
I though you said many times you were from the middle east?
You are confusing me with Pop Royalty.
Darius Rucker is black and he has made he has a country music
Chile’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least J.T has Charisma and Personality. His opponent is just a narcissistic negro with a jaw line that has seen more surgeries than Lil’ Kim.
Gwooooooorl…
I’ll definetely be checking in on “TuPac & Biggie” 2.0 from now on.
Kiiiii. 😉
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

THIS MAKES SENSE!!! BECAUSE CIARA OF ’04 WOULDA BEEN MURKED RIHANNA!!! SHE MUST BE BENFITTING FROM THIS!
Sam wtf where is the vh1 sexiest list post?
Lmao. Justin done this in such a classy way. I respect him. Kanye should have a seat, he’s misbehaving a lot nowadays and it’s more than annoying!
Kanye mad cuz JT touring with his playmate. Big baby.
Kanyes a niggger next
You see I was right! Now we have the stormfront crowd on the black blogs calling our singers n******. SMH jesus take the wheel
SAD!!!
SMH Justin might be on his suit and tie s**t but He doesnt make more hits then Kanye! Im a fan of both artist but Justin’s albums will never compete with Kanye’s writing credits, grammy awards or top hits he has or the other hits he did for other artists!
I love kanye but B**** you come for Beyonce that’s like comeing for me shortly kanye get yo life Hun before I snatch your guts out B****
WOW, both are punks, BUT VERY TALENTED, so all is good…,
I swear people on here are so stupid! What is classy shade? What is positive about being negative? negative is negative and if you have to be negative to start with or to respond you’re no better than anyone else.
People on here talk about being classy like its some aspiration as if it makes you better as a human, as if killing someone with class would be positive.
I also want to know when being a negro was a negative?
People on here are like George Orwells Animal Farm
JT dont want it with KW Trust me.
LOL, I liked his response, I don’t think JT is taking this too seriously. I love Kanye but I’m getting sick of his rants!
This is all I have to say
Let us examine Kanye’s Discography, now let us look at Justin’s . Let us examine Kanye’s Grammys (21) now let us look at Justin’s(6)there is NO competition or comparison here, call Kanye what you want but they should not even be mentioned in the same breath. Kanye has receipts that Justin will NEVER, EVER have, so he needs to stay in his lane. What you all see as a rant, is Kanye talking to HIS FANS while they are right in front of him, no filter, no fake tabloid or fake blog story, I have never heard anyone leave a Kanye concert complaining. You don’t have to like him, but you will NOT try to dismiss his success. Justin needs promo, Kanye does NO promo, he just drops his albums and they go number 1 and sell. No magazines, late night talk shows, saturday night live, none of it. word of mouth. Who else can do that?
kanye is still the mothafucking king >>>> next !!! and his s**** is holy seed !!!!!
OLD BUDDY? Since when are Kanye West and J. TimberFAKE old buddy’s? I hope Kanye rips this fools head off….
As for his fake ass song being placed at the top of a chart….YAWN what do you expect from 1 of the music industry’s golden boy……little pets?Isn’t this what always happen just before a MEDIA DARLIN’S CD release?
Justin Timberlake would have never tried it with 2007 Kanye West.
But even Justin knows Kanye has invalidted his “hip hop soldier” status by impregnating Ms Kim Kardashian.
Nobody is afraid of Kanye’s anger anymore. Chris Brown mocked his skirts, Sway put him #7 on the hottest MC list, now Justin Thicke shades him like he shaded Britney.
Kanye caused his own downfall, just like Usher 5 years ago. He gon’ learn.
