Long Live Timbo!

Because of this,people are saying Timbo fell off:

..What the f**k are you talking about?! He's Timbaland, he can't fall off! Here's 14 reasons why:

Artists
Timbo has an amazing ear for talent. Here's a gang of people he worked with before anyone else did:
1)Ludacris. Timbo wanted to sign him,but it didn't work out. Nevertheless, there's been a track by Tim on every one of Luda's albums.
2)Petey Pablo. Before joining Death Row,this southern spitter killed countless Timmy intsros, including "Raise Up". A party starter if ever I heard one.
3)Bubba Sparxxx. A guy that could go toe to toe with Jadakiss on a track ("They're Not Ready") has got to have skills right? Well,Tim thought so as he signed him to Beat Club & scored a monster hit with "Ugly". Later went on to join Outkast on Purple Ribbon Records.
4)Aaliyah. It sounds so obvious,but everyone forgets. They took chances together & changed the sound of RnB (& to a greater extent, pop music in general) forever.
5)Missy Elliot. She would go on to have Adidas endorsement deals & star in dance movies,but before all that, Timmy saved her career. Not caring how she looked,only how she sounded, Tim gave Missy the most original beats heard in rap in years. He then gave birth to one of the illest female MCs the game has ever seen. The rest is Grammy winning history.


Albums
He ofter gets credited with dope singles, but people forget he can create entire albums of fire

Missy Elliot-Da Real World
Ever wondered what Eminem would sound like on a Timbo beat? It's on this album. And it's incredible. As are the other tracks on this LP. "Hot Boyz", "All N My Grill" (with MC Solar), the list goes on. The sounds are incredible. The tunes catchy. This is what modern rap music should sound like.

Bubbz Sparxxx-Deliverance
Every generation has slept on albums. The classics that never got their deserved acclaim. Deliverance is just such an album. If I told you there was a country-rap album, you would probably cringe. But Tim & Bubba pull this off with such spectacular skill,it's unreal. Amazing lyricism,groundbreaking production & ideas ahead of their time (Justin Timberlake was on this before he went solo). Bubba will never get his place amongst Hip-Hop's elite. And that's a shame,cos on this evidence, he deserves it.

Nelly Furtado - Loose
She started out all quirky with plenty of catchy tunes to boot. But when the quirky style took over,she lost the catchiness. Along came Tim to the rescue with a slew of colabos that showed how well they worked together ("Turn Off The Light", "Ching Ching" & "Get Ur Freak On (Remix)". Seeing they were on to a winning formula, he signed her and the result is one the best R&B albums of the past 10 years. Tim scores again.

Kiley Dean - Simple Girl
You've probably never heard this,but it's brilliant. What if you mixed the good parts of old school Britney with the good parts of old school Aaliyah/SWV? You'd get Kiley Dean. Beautiful voice, banging beats from Tim & very cohesive. Unfortunately, the first single bombed & Interscope scrapped the albuma as a result. Another wasted talent on their roster.

Beats [5 Timbo beats that all sound different,but all sound amazing]
1.Aaliyah-More Than A Woman
2.Limp Bizkit-Rearranged
3.Nelly Furtado-Say It Right/Do It (Both bangers!)
4.D.O.E.-Rollin'
5.Kanye West-Stronger
