i would argue that timbaland circa 96' to 01' is the greatest hip hop producer of all time

believe it or not, i still ain't listened to this album but i've heard nikkas talk about how great it is for years now. maybe i'll listen to it tonight :obama:

LOL I never heard a Buba Sparx album either but I keep saying that album in "Best Rap Albums Of the 2000's" lists.

Timbaland is the single most important producer in Memphis-style hip hop

timbo the king! :gladbron::wow:

Bubba was getting laced with heat.

:whew: bubba and tim >>> em and dre


timbaland was in the zone! :wow:

I don't remember Take Away.

Most of them were R&B :yeshrug:
Can't call someone the greatest hip hop producer of all time and post R&B in support of that claim.
A good chunk of the rap songs were Missy :scust:
Timbaland and Magoo ain't got no classics :mjlol:
Hola Hovito and You Owe Me aint classics :mjlol:
I always loved the beat for Ugly, but it kinda flew under the radar at the time, and I feel that it's been forgotten with the passage of time. :yeshrug:
Plus Bubba didn't do it justice :yeshrug:

I get the impression you just posted every Timbaland beat you liked from that era, but how many of them do you really believe are classics?

Timbaland was definitely on to something during that era. What separated him from every Hip Hop producer was the fact that he could give you a "nikka What nikka Who", "Come And Get Me", or "Is That Your Chick" and then hit you with a "You Won't See Me Tonight", "You Owe Me" or a "Ride or Die Chick". Timbaland was dropping heat whether you were an artist that nobody ever heard of prior (Petey Pablo, Bubba Sparxxx, and Missy even though Missy had a few features before dropping her debut) or were a superstar. Then you had him providing heat to artists from different regions. It didn't matter whether you were Ludacris, Snoop, Twista, or Jay Z. Dude had rappers rhyming over samples of beats he did for R&B artists:



^^^ This is basically Red rhyming over Aaliyah's "Ladies In Da House"



^^^ samples Aaliyah's "If Your Girl Only Knew"

When Timbaland came with "Big Pimpin'" and "Get Ur Freak On", he had producers sampling Middle Eastern and Indian songs and incorporating that style into their production.

Timbaland doesn't have classics? Timbaland had Drake and J. Cole sampling random album cuts from Missy Elliott's debut more than a decade after it came out:

I love a lot of Timbaland's shyt, but his most underrated era is 1999-2000. I think I read somewhere that he was mad. Because some of the shyt he was making at that time was the darkest shyt he ever made, and it was :damn:

She's A bytch
Hot Boyz
Is That Your bytch

and then later the gem he gave Jeezy for 3 AM.
