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)

^xp petey pablo - raise up.

^Ms. Jade and Nelly Furtado - Ching Ching

^omarion - ice box

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.

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

In truth I feel uncomfortable voting for it myself - content-wise it's one of the ugliest songs I can think of, or at least the contrast between the awesomeness groove and what they're saying really makes the latter sound worse. Esp. when they get that girl to sing "won't you put it in my mouth".

fwiw that girl is actually timbaland

but yeah it's some nasty shit

haha did nobody notice my "money owners" joke at the top of the thread

I think probably the hardest part of this will be deciding which Missy to vote for. So many deep cuts it'd cut me not to include ("We Did It", "Play That Beat", "Step Off" etc.).

haha forgot about that

xp

'old school joint' is my missy deep cut

does that qualify? idk

fwiw that girl is actually timbaland

have i mentioned lately that my favorite Timbaland video moment of all time is the "Hot Boyz" video when Tim is joyfully dancing and lip syncing "HOT BOYZ, WHAT I WANT" -- i'd really love if someone could make a gif of that and send it to me to put at the top of the poll results thread

Had forgotten how amazing the beat to Ms Jade's "Feel The Girl":

http://www.youtube.com./watch?v=jBaPOtjXNOI

yeah i'm definitely thinking about voting for that. maybe "big head" too.

Also love "Dead Wrong" and "She's A Gangsta" and "Get Away". I'd pretty much forgotten all of these!

First time trying to make animated gifs (or using Photoshop/GIMP tbh), so a bit crude, but ...

obscure Timbo track i love to death and would urge everyone to hear:

Mariah Carey - Skydiving

Not Tim's best beat or anything but i've always had a soft spot for
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEbwonmvfF0
Fabolous - Right Now and Later On

yeah, "skydiving" is awesome

how are people voting in terms of *timb* v. *the artist*?

for example- i <3 the beat for ayo technology but fifty/jt creep me out (the video really didn't help out) as it basically a song about stalking a woman on the assumption that "she wants it, so gotta give it to her".

so is just voting for the beat alone worth it?

otoh there are times when the beat is a bit non descript and the track is still totally killed, so would you be voting for the artist as opposed to timb?

BUMP

no new ballots in my inbox all weekend, surely somebody is having a lazy Labor Day and has plenty of time to listen to Timbo tracks and vote. are you that somebody?

yeah hang on.

thank got forks showed up!

Trying to get my ballot up to 40 essentials - if it doesn't light me up I'm not gonna vote for it. Shouldn't be a problem with such a prolifically brilliant beatmaker, but there's a lot of Timbaland over the years that I've missed, so yeah, I'm catching up.

the "Hit Em Wit Da Hee" video remix, which is a totally different beat from the Supa Dupa Fly version, really needs to be in this thread:

i want to do this but there's so many songs to choose from ._.

i already know what my Highly Unconventional #1 will be though

so far all the #1s have been (all due respect to the voters) highly conventional so that would be cool

It's not Chris Cornell is it?

okay that took some work
i just listed 40 songs, if i wanted to pick a number one it would be are you that somebody but i'd rather just share out points equal.

this made me relisten to cornell and diamond dogs and a lot of ugly shit.

man missy's first album is SO FUCKING GOOD though, there's not much that doesn't belong on a timbo top 40 there
