i was like 8 years old in the late 90s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZi8l8myNkQ

damn, never heard this before. shit is crazy

whole album is super dope - one of my faves of the 90s

i'm sure there are a ton more timbo-rips but I'm kind of drawing a blank right now lol

cool thread tho

My Body was more "thwocky" than anything, the overpowering thwock sound got thrown around a lot in those 90s slow jams.

good thread idea

EXECUTIVE DECISION: technically 2000 is ok for this thread

man "what's it gonna be" is so fucking good

it's hilarious how bad tons of the CGI in this video is considering how it was one of the 5 most expensive music videos or w/e

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcR_6rlyI8M

maybe cheating a lil bit since it's a missy production but

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lO5eGEnyRA

the other missy prod single from that album is hella 'supa dupa fly'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANBwTyObmjY

"gotta leave" is so fucking dope, haven't heard that song in forever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7uoIhP_V8o

holy shit at that 8ball joint. did quik produce that?

yeah!! that song is the best

missy was doing tons of dope timbaland ripoffs in the late 90s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnU4PqMym9o

so weird that "angel in disguise" was a song that got played on the radio

missy is kind of the g.o.a.t.

yes she is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6xO_ihDycU

xp yeah I'm mad there was never a video for it, it's still my favorite Brandy song I used to wear that song OUT on my walkman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDExY9TK9Ow

so weird that "angel in disguise" was a song that got played on the radio

yeah. love it so much tho

jaw dropping @ buck bounce

Loving the 8 Ball and Quik one, love the sort of cowbell every fourth bar

^^^montell jumping on multiple bandwagons at once

the phenomenon of no limit goons being on random late 90s r&b singles totally confounds me (see also mya's "moving on"

)

Jordan Knight y'all!!!!!

Brilliant thread idea. These ripoffs used to make me so angry back then. Especially when they actually had me fooled (Jordan Knight, I'm looking at you!). The double-time drums were EVERYWHERE by 1999.

how have i never seen this amazing thread or its amazing title

and of course...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFBWbH5CeRE

Damn, how did it take this long for "Silly Ho" to make an appearance itt?

this is a good thread. that fox/swv/red clay shit is crazy. i think that if this stuff wasn't so goddamn hard to mix would've already been a formal cool kid revival of this stuff or maybe there already was and it was called dubstep or something.

jermaine was a frequent offender, the most obvious example being:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQRzrnH6_HY

is this the biggest hit in the genre?

i once fell down a youtube hole of japanese timbaland knock offs from this era but now i can't find any of them. they definitely exist though.

youtubes don't really do this sound justice either fwiw.

so many of these i assumed WERE timbaland at the time

lil zane's crowning achievement

En Vogue's "Those Dogs":

Mya's "It's All About Me":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbEfsNoZ6u4

Destiny's Child's "Bills Bills Bills (Trackmasters Remix)":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ7bYNQOmxc

Dru Hill's "You Are Everything (Remix)":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3JJ5F45u3g

I always thought "Nice & Slow" pulled a cool trick by putting that rhythm in the guitar instead of the drums.

Such a great thread ~bump--bump--bump-cack~

since 2000 counts and since now up there was looking for Japanese stuff:

I saw this video on Chinese TV the first time I was in (East) Asia in 2001 & it blew my mind. I had no idea any of this was going on (nor that it was produced by Jam & Lewis). Have loved Utada Hikaru ever since.

trying again:

some of the youtubes in here are dead but did anyone ever post

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejtzsZq7A44

cuz it should've been the first one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrog8SSUtx8

My favourite (album) track from the first Pink album - Soulshock & Karlin on production:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjUCwXfW3gw

i have srs issue with the conflation of darkchild and timbo itt

I assume you mean b/c most of these tunes ride that faster, bouncier groove? I suspect it caught on more because it's actually easier (though more energetic) to dance to than a "typical" Tim tune of the era because the measures more quickly, plus like soothing harpsichord or guitar hooks.

Still, Timbaland as shorthand for syncopated beats in millennial R&B is a forgivable sin IMO.

No shit, this is among my top 10 rap albums of all time... Though most of the tracks are more traditional NY boom-bap.
