Timbaland, A Producer On The Top Of His Game???

My thoughts exactly, and guess what? Im currently raiding my bank account once again to fund a keyboard purchase lol

Man this music making is a damn expensive hobby!!! At some stage I'd better drop a dope beat to pay for some of this stuff

Just kiddin, luckily I had savings, but I ain't got much left now, especially after the imminent keyboard purchase

its TimBAland....not timberland(like the boots)...just a pet peeve of mine as you'll see in othe posts.....you wouldn't want someone callin you by a name you don't go by...hahahha

The thread name is correct thankfully

I like timbaland actually I love Tim,but I consider him a more of a pop producer than say Pete Rock RZA or Alchemist. I Wondering what all you think of Megahertz??

timbaland is definitly a very talented producer!

i think what makes timbo so damn dope is his ability to change his style and stay ahead of the times. I still trip out when I listen to Aaliyah "Try again",big pimpin, jigga what,get ur freek on, cuttin it etc. etc.

Honestly I get more excited about a new Timbaland track then a new Dre track.

Just my opinion.

man's a tuff producer, topclass!!! never been a "sample" based producer but he goes from hip-hop to r'n'b to pop & even rock. big versatility!
Timbo, always had keyboards: ASR-10, Triton,Motif...

It kinda hard for me to really find a catalgory to Tim put in. He's more of a
all around producer. I don't know what he done more of Rnb or Hip Hop??
I really Respect him,but I wouldn't put him Top 5,Cuz he really makes more dance track and Club than Street Tracks and don't hang out in clubs.

Go figure!?!@?

Yeah thats a pretty fair comment......

I must admit that the club stuff appeals to me more for a couple of reasons, they probably explain why I like Timbo so much and get so exited about his new tracks. Firstly I was a massive Michael Jackson fan and love those crisp, hard hitting beats, grew up listening to alot of Prince, MJ, Alexander O'Neil etc as well.

Secondly, although I would like to think that I have a firm grasp on Hip Hop, its roots etc, I am realistic and as an Englisman living in a middle class family I probably don't have the faintest idea about the real underground stuff, the struggle etc and so am realistic about what I can make and to be fair what I like and understand, so its club bangers all the way for me man lol

I think that even if your not a huge fan of Timbo, like you put it, you can still appreciate the technique, the ability to stay fresh etc etc, I just feel that the guy is, and has been on fire for a long time.

Timbo samples like crazy. He might not do it the same way as a Pete Rock, Premo, or Alchemist. You guys who don't think Timbo samples need to hear his Sample Mix. It's raw. He'll take anything!!!!!

he does^^^^half that drum shit in missy's song "flip it and reverse it" with the little girl in the video. The part where the little girl is singing, is all sampled.

Did I ever said he never used to sample???
He often add arangments, synth arangment to things he sample...

Most of his joints are actually samples.

but you gotta admit, he has some sick synths going too. like the one on the games new album............maybe thats a one note sample he flipped or something, either way, its some synthesizeing sampling genius.
