any one saying timbo is a fukking idiot.

Akrassikauda = Black Scorpion
Pharell it's tough but Dre,Kanye and Timb are in the top echelon of all time great producers they Berry Gordy status that's not a knock on Pharell he's right below it it's just Dre and Timb been doing it since some of us where in grade school. Longevity counts to a certain degree.
lol @ timbaland being some sort of oldhead pick all a sudden.
......you too timbo?!?!
Brehs...we minus well go on ahead and accept gay marriage
lol. he just comes off gay sometimes.
i want to say pharrell is the str8est guy in this equation but it seems like hes down for industry favors.
none of this is hip-hop.
i thought this was about hip-hop?
unless im mistaken. lemme know.
timbaland was just a continuation of devante swing.

Who cares about radio b?
The Timbo sound... that Devante Swing '95 era till FS/LS is untouchable. Timbo is untouchable. I can go song for song Timbo and Neptunes and Timbo wins. I've got each of their discographies in their prime years and Timbo wins.
Ye and Dre are hip hop Mt. Rushmore icons to be honest. Too many seminal projects. Too many iconic moments.

Timbaland was more than just a continuation of Devante Swing. The music he was doing with Aaliyah, Missy, and Ginuwine sounds nothing like Devante. I don't remember Devante having stuttering hi-hats, stop and go drum patterns, random crickets, and laughing babies in his beats. There's also the fact that Devante didn't produce Hip Hop outside of a handful of songs and only "No More Pain" is noteworthy.
LOL at Timbaland having to go. Dude pretty much ushered in the Southern bounce that is all of modern hip hop, RnB. Clubs are STILL playing Big Pimpin and it fits right in with modern tracks.
In case y'all didn't notice.

As others said..Timbo CHANGED radio AND the sounds used...Dre's not my fave but he changes the soundscape as well...and so did the Neptunes. Kanye just talks alot

I'm 90% certain Timbaland we co-producing / ghost producing for Devante.
No More Pain is from the Timbo sound stock.
Their work sounds like Timbo was on percussion and drums but Devante had lead creative control. Devante being on the keys. Timbo's stuff under devante is far more sexy than his own stuff. But his own stuff is more weird and out there. The sexy is provided by the vocalist, if at all. Which is why it was so easy for him to crossover to Pop.

the bolded has nothing to do with timbaland.
"no more pain" is just timbaland on the drums.
leave the rest of the work to timbaland and its an entirely different track.
same with most of the other devante stuff that people try to give credit to timbaland for in hindsight 20 years later.
he had his own brand, definitely.
but even that was a spinoff of what those other guys with devante was doing as well.
i do agree, that timbo changed the landscape of late '90s/early '00s commercial r&b. we can agree on that one. BUT i thought this was about hip-hop? im pretty sure the folks at the hot 97 morning show arent up there discussing r&b.

I'm really not big on any of those producers but if I had to pick 1 it would prolly be Pharell. Dre allegedly gave us the Chronic and Doggystyle and Kanye has sum great beats early in his career so it was either Timbaland or Pharell. I hate Pharells work alot more then Timbaland so I picked him
