Justin Timberlake Covers GQ
GQ Experience.
Along with Kendrick Lamar, JT loosens up his collar for his cover of GQ‘s “Men Of The Year” issue. The issue hits newsstands on November 19, but read an excerpt from his cover story below.
“This face,” he says, circling it with one finger. “This recognizable face that you work so hard to get—not because you want the recognition but because you know you’re made to do it.” This face, he’s saying, comes at a cost. “The movie didn’t do well at the box office, so I should quit? Hold on a second. If I was somebody else, you wouldn’t have said that. I have the number one album this week, and I shouldn’t have released it? Come on, man. You sound like a dickhead…. It just shocked me because, like, you’re trade magazines. None of your opinions count. And by the way, none of you can do it.”
Tuesday morning before work, and I’m checking RR like I usually do everyday, and once again, the top post is a JT post. I’m a big fan of the boy Timberlake, but the over-coverage of this guy is pretty unsettling. Even though he’s not Hip Hop, posting his sales progress and platinum status is kind of understandable, but posting every time he covers a magazine is crazy. At that rate, you’ll be posting one of these every day. At the end of the day, this is RAP radar, a Hip Hop site. What’s with the extra JT stannin’?
I was thinking same thing. Why does GQ cover with JT show up here? If he does music with Timbaland he’s already getting a cheap pass. Barely any other R&B singers on here and this the only guy one you post on RAP Radar.
It’s crazy to me. I’m not sure if some money is changing hands for this, but it’s so blatant how he’s being covered on this site. The guy has 10 million commercials, endorsements, and 2 albums currently on the billboard rotation, I honestly don’t think he needs RapRadar’s assistance in boosting his buzz. Separate the site, have an R&B section and feature some new shit from an unsigned hype artist. I should not be scrolling past JT magazine covers to find some freshly dropped beats and bars.
TRUE!!! lets talk REAL HIP HOP.. like this cat that JAY Z need to sign https://soundcloud.com/love_at_first_sound/reckless to MOST DOPE… dude
