Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Her not having a unique voice isn't going to hold her back. Most artists sound like someone else and it didn't hold them back. Tink's biggest obstacle is Timbaland. Timbaland is a legendary producer, but he's hurting Tink more than he's helping her. It's one thing to giver her a co-sign, but he's already making grandiose statements and comparisons that will turn people off from her before they even hear one record. It's not Timbaland himself, it's the fact that he needs to let the music speak for itself. Let the fans decide to like her based on what we hear, not him telling us what we should think.

When I look back on Timbaland's track record with breaking artists, the ones that are successful are ones that he didn't go out of his way to hype up. I don't recall him making much fuss over Ginuwine or Missy. People liked the music because it was dope on it's own merit, not because Timbaland told us it was hot. The marriage between the artist and the production is what sells artists to fans, not because we're told to like it.
breh.....


you don't remember this nikka sitting on BET rap city... talking bout.... "i found the female biggie" talking bout ms. jade AFTER biggie died

I remember him calling Ms. Jade the female Biggie. He also said she was Jay Z and Biggie in one. That possibly also factored into why she didn't blow up. Tim's artists fare better when he's not making outlandish claims.

Not really seeing what's so great about yet....no hate...willing to give her a chance but people are saying her bars are 10/10. She not even better Nicki :manny:

But I'll reserve judgement until that debut drops :lupe:


Shes easily better than nikki

Everything I've heard from Tink so far has sounded good to my ears.

I like the girl

But I hope she doesn't start working exclusively with Tim tho
