TIMBO 98-99

I'm putting in for "Nigga What", but I could just as easily take "Big Pimpin'", "She's a Bitch", or "So Anxious".

1. big pimpin
2. are you that somebody
3. nigga what, nigga who
4. hot boyz
5. lobster & shrimp

vintage jay on lobster & shrimp

also you owe me

2000-20001 is gonna be fucking impossible

Ginuwine - None of UR Friend's Business

i dont know why but i was drawn to this

xp: Yeah, I know. Eighteen-thousand years of Timbaland is a lot to choose from.

lazy

I wasn't trying to zing you.

"What's So Different" is the shit, I'm voting for that. This isn't as hard as I thought it would be, this is probably an era when he had as many great album cuts as singles.

TRIPPIN. STILL ONE OF THE CRAZIEST TIMBO BEATS EVER.

this is ridiculously tough though, I mean "So Anxious" "All N My Grill" "Hot Boyz" "Make It Hot" "Cheers 2 U" "None Of Ur Friends Business" "Are You That Somebody"... GOD DAMN. Great stretch.

all of the songs i mentioned are 5 Stars and I could've really voted for any of them.

but yeah "Trippin" because it's really underrated and the beat is still crazy/jarring to this day.. would not sound out of place on radio right now. This is really the period I feel in love with Timbo, "All N My Grill" was like my alltime favorite song in elementary school I used to play it over and over on my walkman and sing-along to Nicole Wray's ridiculous vocal riffs (CAN U PAY MY BIIIIIIIIIIEAHALALIIIIIIIIIILLLLLZ)

Love the Godzilla sounds on "What's So Different?" but "Are You That Somebody" is maybe his finest moment.

nah, that song is kind of played-out.

it is but fuck it its awesome

i was thinking today that the beat on dream's 'luv songs' sounds kinda like a tim beat from this era

maybe that's why brainwasher likes it so much

I actually never liked "Are You That Somebody" until quite recently.

Nas - You Won't See Me Tonight

this song was hot

man this ginuwine record is one of my top ten ever or some shit
so good

put your TRRRRUST! in me girrrrrrl

xpost you;re right it does. but really, the whole album is very ginuwine (so is futuresex/lovesounds for that matter) and would probably be better if he was singing it (ditto fs/ls). poor ginuwine.

"are you that somebody" is a great song obv, but unlike other overplayed songs from back then that I can still listen to now, that one still feels played out to me. like, I can listen to "the boy is mine" now and be like DAMN even though it was played out when it was first released, but "are you that somebody" is like.. I'd rather just listen to all of aaliyahs other awesome songs.

I've actually never heard the ginuwine album in it's entirety, I just know the singles. I need to get on that.

yeah 'falsetto' is basically a ginuwine song

esp in the drums i think

'are you that somebody' has sustained itself for me because its still fun as hell to dance to

I've actually never heard the ginuwine album in it's entirety, I just know the singles. I need to get on that.

YES

^^cosigned

i need to drag that cd out right now

I mean, in "Are You That Somebody?" when she says "are you responsible?" and then baby sounds form part of the beat as a kind of musique concrete omen? Just awesome.

Yeah 100% Ginuwine is an amazing album - although I think Da Real World is slightly superior. "Final Warning"!!!

Get On the Bus is underrated genius.

1. big pimpin
2. are you that somebody

"Get On The Bus" is impossibly great.

Are you that somebody is still one of the only songs from the 9+s that Still sends chills down my spine..one of timbaland's and aaliyah's shining moments.

Yeah, I'd be fine with many of these but I still find myself singing "I got what you want (ah really), got what you neeed" at the most random of times so I've go to go with "Make It Hot".

I guess buying every individual song and making your own collection is entirely possible, but I still wish there was like a 3 cd collection of the best of Timbo. Of course he's still adding to it by the year, but you know.

I had never even heard of "Get On the Bus" until I saw this poll.

Check it out on YouTube before you do anything else.

favorite timbo beat from this era tho is 'u cant resist'

juvenile's entrance is :O

gettin paid thats whats my object'

is that yo bitch

so sinister

U Can't Resist is huge.

I'd say Da Real World is the most consistently exceptional album Tim's had a hand in. The edges are a bit rougher than some his later stuff, but the barrage of ideas is astonishing.

somehow I managed to be that crusty old dork who hated Big Pimpin' back in the day, but now it's so far out ahead of all of the other (extra-super-mega-mega great) songs in this poll that it isn't even really funny anymore.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Check it out on YouTube before you do anything else.

I'd never heard of it before either.

oh wau

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

3:45!

Whoops, I meant 3:34.

lol at all the early Destiny's Child vids...coordinated outfits, large monochrome futuristic room, choreography with lots of panto/charades/voguing

Yeah they're great!

glad I voted for what I did

Shiiiiiiiiiit, "Get On The Bus" has a sweet beat! I can see why it languishes in obscurity (the beat really overshadows anything Beyonce & co are doing) but it's a worthy track. Thanks ILX.
