Timbaland really had crickets chirping, panning from left ear to right, the whole "One in a Million"

[TNC]

this could have been produced last night and I would still think this sounds like some shyt from years in the future. that bassline, the drum syncopation, it's beautiful.




bonus: the greatness of this vocal sample is hard to top



all the hallmarks of a GOAT producer are there.

• distinct, hard to duplicate sound
• a go to producer for hits
• decades of longevity
• could sample horse neighs and dog barks without it sounding ridiculous

EDIT to include linked instrumentals
90 or so instrumentals for y'all, a memory refresher of sorts lol.

A Timbo thread without this classic

I was amazed it took so long myself. just shows how deep that catalog is. we got Nelly Furtado, Jay-Z, Bubba Sparks, Ginuwine, straight up CLASSICS of all different kinds of sounds being posted. that innovation, that creativity, that versatility .

Aaliyah is the princess of Hip Hop Soul. You'll never see nikkas riding down the street listening to Brandy or Monica (even if they died). You just wouldn't breh. But nikkas feel comfortable bumping Aaliyah. Timbo (and R. Kelly to some extent on the first album) are to thank for that.

Timbo the King

I absolutely love this beat (doesn't get enough love IMO)


Dirt Off Your Shoulder might be one of his simplest beats, but so dope


A good collab with Nas and Timbo


The beats he gave Aaliyah







Sounds straight from the 80s

lol did this nikka sample a man falling to his death??

Real chit my nicca...one time when this song was poppin', I was in the car with my niccas on smob
and this came on the radio.

My nicca who was driving pulled over to the side of the road out of nowhere toward the end of Missy's verse
and got out. We knew what that meant.

The rest of us got out in enough time to join him doing the dance from the video after that part.
Then we got back in and never spoke about it again.
