Under Construction, Part II
Under Construction, Part II is the third studio album released by hip hop duo Timbaland & Magoo. The album is the group's third LP, and Timbaland's fourth overall LP, as he issued Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment, a solo album, in 1998. Under Construction Part II is nominally a sequel to Missy Elliott's fourth LP Under Construction, which was also chiefly produced by Timbaland.

Missy Elliott appears on the LP's lead single, "Cop That Shit", released to radio as "Cop That Disc", as do regular Timbaland collaborators such as Sebastian and Bubba Sparxxx. Many other guest stars, from Brandy, who had Timbaland produce her 2004 album Afrodisiac, to Wyclef Jean and Beenie Man, also appear on the album. The song "Indian Flute" contains an uncredited sample of "Curura" by Toto la Momposina. Three singles were released from the album: "Cop That Shit", "Indian Flute", and the promotional single "Naughty Eye".
