TIMBALAND TRACKS POLL (voting deadline Saturday, September 10th at FIFTEEN AFTER THE HOUR midnight EST)

if i had a 100 votes, the rest of the record might make it but shit, just 40 i may get NOYFB in there... maybe...

i was p surprised that 'so anxious' was the biggest hit off that album

that was definitely a huge record

Yah soo anxious is so dope... I basically like everything on that lp though.

Up until this exact moment I had no idea Ludacris "What's Your Fantasy" was not Timbaland.

I am shocked by this.

really? bangledesh is a p famous producer who jumped off from that.

i've never thought of that song as part of the wave of Timbo soundalikes but i can totally hear it now that you mention it

it feels too busy to be tim

of that era, anyway

yeah it sounds more like 1998 Tim than 2000 Tim but of course not everyone's gonna pick up on that

Looks like I'll be the only one voting for "Right For Me" and "Until The End Of Time."

The latter is the best song on FutureSexLoveSounds and hardly receives any credit IMO

i agree, great track (also brings back some 'bell' sounds Tim used a lot circa 100% Ginuwine)

I posted this in a different thread a week or 2 ago, but I think it's canon-worthy...

"whats your fantasy"sounds way too gutter for tim. His sound was more bourgie r&b ish at the time

^ya

'bourgie r&b ish' doesn't seem like the right description of the era of "Hey Papi" and "Get Ur Freak On"

like that was probably the peak of his club banger period, he was more heavily associated w/ R&B in the '90s, his biggest R&B hit in 2000 was "Try Again," which was not very bourgie. "What's Your Fantasy" isn't exactly a word away from "Phat Rabbit."

yeah but still glossy & expensive i guess?

i'm just saying bill's misunderstanding isn't all that bizarre given the context

yah fair enough im just trying to explain why they seemed like different things to me at the time

I must have read some erroneous claim that it was his production, and it sounded just similar enough that I didn't question it.

i think the string loop just sounded so immediate & mercenary or something, to me, from that song ... just perfectly sleazy & lowest-common-denominator in the best way

lol bourgie r&b. what on earth on r&b radio sounded as grimy as some of his drum tracks at that time?

Yeah the strings should have been the dead giveaway.. It was mostly the intro that convinced me.

ha well, i guess there's a grace & um for lack of a better word poise to his stuff that something like 'whats your fantasy' doesnt have

neither of these are criticism of either approach, just differentiating them

yeah, until the end of time is a tune, that and summer love are the JT tracks making mine

I have a thing for the Venus Vs Mars beat BUT I kind of hate the song... torn.

forgot how much i love this

thought that was rad when it was on mtv, still think it's rad now

and if people had labeled all youtubes as i requested, we wouldn't get the same youtube in the thread twice (xpost)

Raise Up is hella boring

*ducks*

yeah i prob won't vote for it

i dont like 'raise up' nearly as much as 'i' for whatever reason -- a bias i've carried since both were out

my fav first album bubba track was "lovely"

will prob vote that ahead of 'twerk' (sorry tim!)

never heard this b4 and its great

bubba & jada - they ain't ready

man i remember that. never really resonated w/ me at the time but i think my ear wasnt tuned to timbo the same way then

also enjoying

which i dont think i would have cared for when it came out. thought shade sheist was a bit of a joke at the time.

^^^ dope

making a rough top ten and then noticing this isnt in it grrrrr.

oh man never heard that shade sheist beat before

its just aite to me. that shade sheist album has some cool songs but its p average overall. its lol to think that a dude like that could get a fully produced major label record back then tho

shade sheist has as much charisma as an old shoe

that said, b/w "money owners" & "where i wanna be" he can probably die happy

just the bassline is so jazzy for tim. sounds more like a neptunes beat.
