New Jack Swing was coming to an end by 93' but u still had a few people doing it.
Joe was doing that shyt in 93' on his 1st album.
But yeah, Hip Hop Soul and G Funk was definitely the new thing.
Devante says he took that whole missy ginuwine timbaland crew upstate new york for some weeks to teach them music, show them the ropes, and when they emerged from there they all took off..
what i mean by that is he doesn't have the melodies in his acumen to pull it off.
nor does he have any sauce or spunk in his chit. timbaland beats are almost always goofy-sounding.
same with the myth of timbaland producing that 2pac song.

No I think Timbaland got credited for whatever he did on that album. And you guys keep saying that’s Tim’s sound when members of the Bassment have said that was the the Bassment’s sound period. Devante, Timbaland, SMK, and Accion all contributed to creating it.
And I would take anything Timbaland says with a grain of salt considering how big his ego is.

You're wrong. "No More Pain" is definitely more so a Timbaland joint than a Devante joint even if Timbaland didn't necessarily touch the track. The signature drum pattern and overall feel of the song screams Timbaland. Nothing Devante ever produced before or after sounded like that song yet Timbaland had "nikka What, nikka Who", which is definitely a similar sound.
Devante was a beast with instruments, but never became the full fledged producer that Timbaland became. The proof is in the pudding. That whole camp flourished with Timbaland's production:
Ginuwine- 100% and The Bachelor
Missy Elliott- Supa Dupa Fly, Da Real World, So Addictive, Under Construction, This Is Not A Test
Playa- Cheers 2 U
Timbaland & Magoo- Welcome To Our World, Indecent Proposal, Under Construction Pt. 2
^^^ Most of these were successful albums both critically and commercially. That's not even counting Tim's production for a who's who among some of the biggest and most elite artists in music. Outside of personal preference, therw is no way Devante could be considered better than Timbaland. I said it before and I will say it again, this was a classic case of student surpassing teacher.
Timbaland even confirmed that he did the Tupac beat...but got damn. Didn't know he had that many haters on thecoli.
Another thing to consider is that Devante's resume is pretty much his run with Jodeci. Yeah, he did other stuff, but we are basically looking at '91-'96. With Timbaland, dude had a lot of noteworthy work over the past three decades ('90's, 00's, this decade) even with the lows. No knock against Devante, because he should be smiling like a proud Dad watching all his kids succeed and some of them surpass him. Darryl Pearson was mentored by Devante too and he went on to become successful. Darryl and Tim even did some work together since then (Total's "Trippin"). Stevie J also was a student of Devante. He's even on record saying he was influenced by Tim.
I already said he did the drum programming. that's it tho.
apparently, timbaland himself is only claiming the drums, so what are you ranting about?
Devante losing his mind is the reason why he hasn't really been around since '96.
i know you love timbo & them but timbaland's catalog is too hit-or-miss.
quality over quantity.

Tim maybe did some drums but Devante most definitely did all the instruments and melodies. Timbaland isn’t known for his melodies, he’s know for his drums and experimentation.
Devante comes from a family of church musicians. The instrumentation on diary of a mad band had to be created by someone with 10+ years of piano expiernce, a lot of the chords are extremely dense and complex. Anything musical or melodic timbaland produced almost always has co producers, and there’s nothing wrong with that

That shyt don’t even sound like Timbo, that’s Devante
This is just your opinion.
Opinions are like a$$holes everyone has them.
well then where are his comparable beats? hes been around for 25 years since and he hasn't done anything like what yall are trying to credit him for.
anybody with a semi-respectable ear knows that timbaland lacks melody. that's one of the reasons why hes a hip-hop producer that people rarely go to for album cuts, and an r&b producer without many slow jams.
and you sound a bit green. timbaland said he did the drums on that pac beat, and you seem to think that means he did the whole thing.
this basically sums it up.
theyre gonna call you a hater for this tho.

He must have forgiven Devante or felt sorry for him now .
You can google the interviews from the people I mentioned in the last post that talk about how much of an a$$hole that Devante was to them. Ultimately it worked out for them because of their talent and having had free access to top notch production equipment for years. Slapping people, terrorizing people on some Suge shyt.
He never recovered from getting set up & robbed at that house they had in Jersey, he flipped after that.
