They've both given Jay Z some of his best and worst, but I got Timbaland.


I know people love "Allure" and have that as one of Jay's best, but I still feel "I Know" is peak Pharrell/Jay. "Excuse Me Miss" and "La La La" are dope as well. "Oceans" goes too, but it has additional production by Timbaland. The rest of the Pharrell productions on Jay Z albums, I could do without.

I wish they'd quit putting Pharrell and credit The Neptunes as a whole.

Notable singles are one thing. If we talking deep cuts…give me Just Blaze, Kanye, Bink, Ski, the Hitmen, No ID, and Premo before either of these two.

Both of them have deep cuts with Jay as well:

The Neptunes- "I Know", "Allure", and "Oceans"

Timbaland- "Come And Get Me", "It's Hot"

I got "Allure" as my #1, but damn, "I Know" is undeniable as well:wow:

As far as Timbo tracks for Jay, personally I gotta go with "Paper Chase" and "Originators '99"
