Justin Timberlake Explains "Get Out Your Seat, Hov" Meaning

Since Justin Timberlake dropped his new track "Suit & Tie," his line "Get out your seat, Hov," has had fans grasping for a meaning, which Timberlake recently gave. Justin sat down with Booker and explained what was going on in the studio between himself and Jay when they were recording the track.

"I had kind of finished the verses and I was going in to record them and he was kind of sitting in the room working, kind of freestyling to himself. And then he came up with a line he really liked and he jumped out of his seat and he said, 'Uh oh! Get out of that seat, Hov.' And I just thought it was so funny. It made me laugh. I was standing right beside him when he did it and so I just put it on the record, more or less as a joke to him."

Justin also explained that he's not looking to compete with his second album, he just wants people to like his music.

"'SexyBack' [was] lightning in a bottle. Trying to put out a record that has an impact like that. It really is lightning in a bottle. I just hope people like the record. It's definitely a little bit of a departure, but kind of like you pointed out, my second album was a departure from my first album. At the end of the day, it's just music. You try to go in and not over-think it and just make something that feels honest."

He wanted HOV to sit on his ****, in which HOV passed up. It tasted fine to me when I did *Kanye shrug*

I watched enough interviews with 50 Cent, & it sounds like to me, Us as the fans are putting pressure on him to re-create another #Get Rich Or Die Tryin' I Don't think that's the case at all....I think he put himself in a bubble to be the infamous ''NEW YORK CITY'S own BAD GUY'' which is fine. And I think the pressure he;s feeling is now in 2013 he wants to try something NEW & he;s a in new environment! So if he goes on this wave of the 50 Cent today & it fails......then the label will be like ya see you should have stayed in your lane. And then he'll give a million reasons why the project didn't grab everyone's attention. But in all honest he had plenty of time to try something new but he didn't for whatever reason. I think that's why his album is constantly being pushed back. Cause I feel Jimmy & Interscope are afraid of what the outcome maybe let's be real besides his last 2 mixtapes his real last single on the radio is #Do You Think About Me that was 2009. In today's way of music that's waaaaaay to long. He kept his name out there obviously cause he's 50 Cent household name out here. But his music buzz has faded out in someway. But we'll all be waiting to see what happens when #STREET KINGS drops!

Here's some heavy and truthful shit-- The only way 50 could recreate GRODT and get back to Glory is he'd gave to let Tony Yayo advise him on the album, and pick and choose the tracks that make the final album.
