Wasn't the Sands an old casino in Vegas, hence the Sinatra reference?

It's a reference to one of his albums too

Yes, but it is more likely a reference to Sinatra's Sinatra At The Sands live album where he was accompanied by Count Baisie and his orchestra conducted by Quincy Jones.

SINY!!
What do you mean depending on his co-producer? Timbaland's best work was when he was solo before he even discovered Danja. Even after Danja, Timbaland has done some great songs. Ya'll overrate Danja on the board and nobody even knew who dude was before Timbaland specifically before Futuresex/Lovesounds. Ya'll make it like Timbaland was the co-pilot and Danja was the mastermind when Danja is on record saying a lot of those songs were Timbaland's brain child and Tim brought him in to add his touch. Timbaland had a decade of classic material before any of you heard of Danja in 2006.

Yeah Tim's first run when he was producing everything on his own, was dope and he made many classics.....than he hit a rut, enter his protege Danja and they both go on an incredible run.....Danja departs to stand on his own two and the quality consistency of Tim's tracks after suffers. I wouldn't call that a coincidence.

As for the things Danja had to say about working with Tim? Of course he's going to be diplomatic/humble, Tim put him on, and elevated him to another level. The way Danja speaks of Tim is more a sign of respect/appreciation.

Tim has become what Dr. Dre is now. The proteges put in the work, and the mentors add their touch/direct.

Tumbaland didn't hit a rut. He had all kinds of hits and bangers in the years leading up to him working with Danja.

That isn't Danja just giving Timbaland respect just to give him respect. How are protégés going to put in work when they never had a hit prior to working with the mentor. What you are saying makes no logical sense. Danja after branching out on his own did what exactly? Show me what on Danja's resume post working with Timbaland is on par with what Timbaland did after working with Danja. I'll wait.

See ya'll are silent and NEVER bring up the resumes of the guys who supposedly did all the grunt work AFTER they stop working with the mentors who "only added touches". You telling me that Danja was out here giving artists the caliber of tracks he was doing with Timbaland?

"Dirt Off Your Shoulders" from TBA and LL's "Headsprung" were huge songs.
