Justin Timberlake: post-FutureSex collaborations and productions

off the top 'give it to me' or 'shades' but im gonna listen to more of these before voting

"Dick in a Box" obv.

The rest:

Shades
Give It 2 Me
Love Sex Magic

I always forget that lol he produced Duran Duran

I liked his bit in "Ayo Technology" but Fiddy is just ugh on the rest

"Give It To Me" is TERRIBLE!

nah that song is awesome & you also hated all the dope timbo songs from then iirc

'the way i are'

wow there's a lot of shit on here

like seriously, "Give It To Me" is perhaps the single most worthless #1 of the last 5 years, all the other Timbaland songs of that era are better

the Reba duet ain't bad either

i def fuck w/ "give it to me"

\oO/ i like 'give it to me,' calling storch a piano man is funny, the disses are good humored yet have some sting imo

nelly furtado is hott when shes being catty

i think the whole song is hilarious & awesome

oh sweet! this is gonna be one of those 100-plus posts threads by 8:50 eastern time!

Justin being all smarmy at Prince and/or Janet is just disgusting though

i don't think this was necessarily done after FS/LS, but if it was, i'd def vote for it

Justin being all smarmy at Prince and/or Janet is just disgusting though

when did he record songs with them??

this list truly has some of my least favorite songs of the past few years

"carry out," "dead & gone," "love sex & magic," "4 minutes" -- woof

i will probably vote for "Cold Case Love" but i do like the idea that "Dick In A Box" is the greatest thing one of music's biggest stars has made in the last 4 and a half years

Alfred i'm referring to the rumored targets of Justin's verse on "Give It To Me"

"4 Minutes" is the worst first single of Madonna's career.

meant to say snarky instead of smarmy though

Voting for "Shades".

"Carry Out" is objectively terrible but also a fun, goofy radio jam imo

totally on ships side re 'give it to me', dire song

honestly struggling not to vote 'dick in a box' here

but the hysterically overrated 'cold case love' it is i guess

(doh many xps making this redundant)

rev are you voting 'shades' specifically cos of jt's input or just cos u like the song most in general

bugs the absolute living shit out of me when ppl do the latter

"Dick in a Box" doesn't deserve any votes

Haven't heard all of these but my favorites: Shades, Casanova, Cold Case Love, Rockaway Life, Rehab, Ayo Technology, Give It To Me

Voting Casanova because I assume no one else will.

how can you hate on "Dick In A Box"

how can you hate on "Hanukkah Song"

voted 'dick in a box'

I mean, if you're voting "Dick in a Box," you're presumably voting for the video, and if you're voting for a video, you might as well include his performances in ALPHA DOG and THE SOCIAL NETWORK

Nah, I voted for the song. That's the kind of straight R&B he should sing.

like, CMB-inflected R&B.

^^

there's nothing special about that song, if it were in croatian you wouldn't be saying that

first it doesn't work without the video, then it doesn't work without the lyrics, just keep peeling away layers

are you croatian

"three-way" or w/e is a better "song" than "dick in a box"

alfred, you wouldn't be saying that if you were croation

if Croats had blasted "Dick in a Box" to the Serbs and Bosnians, there would have been no genocide.

i haven't heard "3-Way" as much yet but it strikes me as not nearly as good as "Dick" or "Motherlover"

Yeah, to me it's descending order of novelty and imagination.

unnecessary abbreviations of song titles is prob my least favorite thing, esp when it results in "dick"

no quotation marks necessary

i said this when i aired by "three-way" isn't really all that 'funny' but just melodically speaking i think it might be the best lonely island song (i mean i know that this is sorta missing the point of the lonely island, but w/e)

no i'm usually cool w/ anything that ends in dick

yeah sorry but when we're referring to the same song title in like 20 posts in a row it feels a little ridiculous to type all 4 words every single time (xpost)

btw sorry to nitpick but "Casanova" features Justin Timberlake

ANYWAY i think i'm gonna vote "give it to me"

I know JT had to Grow Artistically but I wish he'd sung variations on "Girlfriend" for the entirety of his adult life.

"casanova" is really dope

guys

one sec

have we discussed the croatian female empowerment angle

i just tried listening to "dick in" w/o the video and i found it hard to pay attention as soon as Andy Samberg started mumbling

the "knock on her boots" line in "3-Way" always makes me think of Andy K clowning on The Weeknd

"Dick In" is definitely the best possible abbreviation of the title

lol

i like dick in a box but not as, like, a song

more as like a literal dick in a box

*zings self first*

98 degrees would have titled it "Dick (in a Box)"

ha, his "can't believe it" verse is kinda sweet

rev are you voting 'shades' specifically cos of jt's input or just cos u like the song most in general

bugs the absolute living shit out of me when ppl do the latter

Latter. Didn't give it much thought. Would have voted for "Dick" if voting by the former criterion.

JT's verse on "Shades" is kinda post "Dick In" anyway.

crazy that it's been 5 years since FS/LS

JT's verse on "Shades" is kinda post "Dick In" anyway.

it's closer to "Coit Us"

this list is a really good argument that JT should NOT get back in the studio, ugh there is some total shit here, of which the most egregious might be the actually worthless "give it to me" with its weak zings and insufferable, unwarranted smugness, and i can't believe anyone reps for it! (nb "the way i are" on the other hand is one of the finest songs of the 00s.)

smh at voting for comedy too, "dick in a box" is like...the opposite of laughter. also at no point did we get to see JT's cock so further demerits for that.

god the resolutely generic-if-enjoyable "love sex magic" is actually in with a shot here.

1. shades
2. cold case love
3. ayo technology
4. love sex magic
5. rehab

^^the only 5 i have the slightest inclination to vote for, only the first three are unreservedly great. "shades" pips "cold case love" because it's the first time in the past 5 years that i've felt JT himself is a somewhat interesting presence on a song.

oh i guess i actually like "dead & gone" too but getting to meet JT in the californian desert where they shot the video has a lot to do with that

Motherlover is the powerhouse one, though.

lol @ all the Esmee Denters here

he's prob had a great time fucking her the past couple years tbh

voted "cold case love"

I've sort of lost interest in him. The last time I probably actually enjoyed him was on the original Shock Value tracks, he became an all out boring parody of himself after all of those unfunny SNL skits. If this were 2007 I'd still be crazy about his material but not now.

gonna vote for "Miles Away" since no one else will, definitely the best song on that Madonna album...

also this remix of it is dope:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YicxVJlA6g

"give it to me" is kind of a dumb song with a really great beat.

this is pre-futuresex but a jam (although not as much of a jam as the eric benet song with the same name): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eIjf6kDrJk

I mean, if you're voting "Dick in a Box," you're presumably voting for the video, and if you're voting for a video, you might as well include his performances in ALPHA DOG and THE SOCIAL NETWORK

Or "We're the dancers."

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

awesome

Dece top three. wtf at the "Miles Away" love.

ughhh you people and your comedy

the most worthless, lazy generic crap on this list is preferable to anything the lonely island have touched

just tell me which way you like that

the only thing funnier than "Dick In A Box" right now is lex's hatred of comedy

haha otm

in what was was JT invloved with keri's "slow dance"? that song is the shit!

most of these songs suck. never heard esmee denters

1. cold case love
2. slow dance

^^these are killer

3. love sex magic

^^this is pretty good

4-xx. the rest

he co-wrote "Slow Dance" and yeah it is awesome

that first keri album had a few sleeper deep cuts, but "slow dance" is definitely the cut - i remember loving "make love" and "alienated" too

"intuition"!!

When did "Until Yesterday," that Timberlake co-write/co-produce track for JC Chasez, come out?

you're the only person who knows it exists, you tell me

I remember it: 2007, I think. We reviewed it in the old Jukebox.

there's a live youtube of it from a week before FS/LS was released, so i won't lose sleep over its omission

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cNRd7lUBrk

people really need to look at this list again before they get too hyped about JT maybe making another album

I don't think he's going to make another album until he's completely washed out at his attempts at movie stardom and at that point no is going to be left to care.

lex's first post itt is classic
