Justin Timberlake on Jay-Z: 'We're the same type of guy''Mirrors' hitmaker Justin Timberlake has revealed that he works with rapper Jay-Z so well on both a professional and musical level because they're very similar. The pair collaborated on his previous single, 'Suit & Tie', and will also head out on tour together across North America in July with the final date taking place a month later in August. Speaking about their partnership, Timberlake explained: "Jay-Z and I have known each other for a while. Always had a great relationship. I think we're just kinda the same type of guy. He's very relaxed. Easy-going. ‘Suit & Tie’ came out of that - we were just having fun." "We had an extra room in the studio in New York, and I said, I want to do a dance record, but not like a 120 bpm dance record. I want to do like a Marvin Gaye ‘Gotta Give It Up,’ Curtis Mayfield, ‘Move On Up.’” The 'SexyBack' superstar is also set to perform a collaborative set with Jay-Z at London's Wireless Festival later this summer, but both artists will play individual sets at the popular outdoor event during the two days before.
