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.

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.

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

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.

i have srs issue with the conflation of darkchild and timbo itt
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 24 December 2013 16:40 (ten years ago) link
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.
