I just saw the Missy Elliot video for "Work It" for the first time and Timbaland is in the beginning... he is such a dork. It is so funny that someone that makes such good beats is so cheezy.

i guess hip-hop isn't all about being "hard" after all. closeminded idm fans take note. (p.s. this is in no way directed toward regital.)

Although I do not care for most of the tracks Timbaland's produced, I will say that this one has quite a bit of charm in it. Smooth delivery on each of the beats. I like the really 80s sounding fat beat at the very, very beginning, the one that's played at the part in the video that Regital is talking about.

i love all the tracks he does for missy and aaliyah (R.I.P.). even tho i hate limp bizkit, the 2 remixes he did for them are incredible as well. he hired scott storch (ex-member of the roots) to play keys and the tracks are about 100x better than the originals.

"put my thang down flip it and reverse it....."
It doesnt surprise me at all really that some one that is so dorky, also makes excellent beats. If you think about it, reason he is so good at beat making and producing is the fact that he has been doing it for about 10 years or longer... all that time in the studio, practicing... working. And I love that timbaland style of his... I think its great that he is so quirky. But I heard this track on power 106 like 3 month's ago, first time aired on radio. And missy talked about it later... saying that she and timbaland were trying to fuse old skool with new school in her new album. And she was talking about the video.. saying it was meant to be fun and retro. Personally I am tired of this... is am super cool look at me... attitude in rap music.... only person/groups that pull that off IMO are the neptunes and dmx...

dj premier is ugly as shit and really non-thuggish and he's one of the best hip-hop producers of all time.

i dont think it should be that surprising that a producer making great beats is a dork... hell..look at like 90% of the idm producers you can think of...
the chances are they got to be that good at producing from spending their youth sitting in their rooms listening to records and playing around with equipment...rather than out partying
and as titsworth said.. hip hop isnt about having a hard image...
just look at the anticon collective... a bunch of white guys with beards...
and i've seen numerous pictures of doesone sporting a mickey mouse hat
and the guys from cannibal ox have a gigantic bruce hornsby poster hanging in the apartment they record their stuff in

I kind of like what Timbaland does with beats, but it got kind of irritating as just about every record that came out (when the Timbaland hype started a few years ago) was produced by him.
even worse with Neptunes. FUKKING EVERYWHERE!!!

I'm not saying Timbland needs to be "hard" because that hardcore tough guy image is even funnier. It's just in the beginning of the video he is so animated, almost sarcastic that I was like "Damn this guy is a dork." Not really a negative thing... just an observation. I think he has a good sense of humor. Same with Missy.

timbaland might retire... he's sick of the rap game. what a loss that'd be, especially since some of his stuff in the last couple years has been so astonishing. at least he should do the collaborative album w/ dr. dre before he retires.
the new bubba sparxxx album is actually supposed to be amazing.

Timbaland rules. Missy's pretty cool too. They both have a great unique but cool style.
