Damnit, Timbo. Not again, man. It feels like we just went through this a week ago when BP3 was springing a leak quicker than suspects on “First 48.” Now your own work for Shock Value 2 is leaking and “Believe It Or Not” featuring Hip-Hop’s Oscar De La Hoya (“Golden Boy”) is on every site imaginable and there goes the element of surprise right out the window.

Being a fellow Virginia native and a long time fan of your work, the last thing you’ll hear me do bash you for these recent slip-ups. As I stated before, that’s a quick way to excommunicate yourself from some of the industry’s most influential circles. But, dude, what the hell is the problem?

I continue to hear rumors of hackers pulling a jack move on your e-mail account and after watching stuff like this, it doesn’t seem too far-fetched. With that said, did you have beef with a former member of your camp that may know a thing or two about the in’s and out’s of computers? Whatever the case may be, someone’s got a vendetta against you and it’s beginning to create a negative stigma with your brand. If all else fails, follow Rihanna’s blueprint (no pun intended).

To Drake, Boi-1da, 40 and the entire ATF crew, I assume this is the penalty of being “hot” with a world of potential at your disposal. Having a Drake “exclusive” nowadays is seemingly the key to internet fame. Seeing as how you guys are a band of brothers and actually record together, save all the work on an external hard drive because it’s becoming more and more evident that e-mail is not the route for transferring music. If you wanna get really creative, send it through instant messenger. Chances are you’ve probably used all of these. I’d just hate to see Thank Me Later suffer the same fate as the first Food & Liquor.

Anyway, until the next time someone hacks Timbo’s e-mail, this concludes another installment of “Camp Leaks.” You stay classy, internets.
