Man of the woods proved further that Timberlake was always a singer that was dependant on how good timbo/neptunes has to be.
He tried to hop on trap beats & he sounded corny like an old out of date dad.
Never thought Timberlake was all that from a talent perspective & it'll always be usher over him til the casket drop
This 1000 times. If that isn’t proof he needs super producers to elevate his music, then I don’t know what else is.
I’m not a huge fan of Chris Brown but he can definitely dance better than JT, and his career has never been dependent on one or two producers like JT. He’s way more talented than JT overall.
Great artists can span different eras and collaborate with different producers, but still ultimately be their own artists. JT isn’t that. It’s no hate. It’s just facts.
JT heavily ripped off Michael Jackson for his debut album, from the hat, glove and music (who Neptunes originally made the songs for). Then he ripped off Prince on his second album. He is not original at all. There is no “JT” signature style.
Usher has it. Prince had it. R Kelly has it. Michael Jackson had it. JT’s sound is all Timbaland.
