it's funny how Timbaland is now all of a sudden an authority on HIP-HOP....this dude crossed over when he started producing for Nicole Scherzinger, Nelly Furtado, etc.

I hate how HIP-HOP fans have such short memories

People tend to forget that Timbo is an R&B producer, first and foremost, who had the magic touch for making Hip-Hop radio hits, especially with Missy Elliot. He has no clue on how to make a real street banger. Personally, I felt he was always talent enhancement as opposed of being a real producer.

And BTW, DeVante is still waiting for his props.

Return of boom-bap production?

Blah...

I don't think it should go backwards... it should move ahead into other techniques/sounds... or at least improve on what's already been done. Something about a return to boom-bap beats makes me think people will be doing bad impressions of mid-90s East Coast rap, and it'll come off like more of a parody than anything else. That's kinda a special era... I don't really wanna see it fukked with.
