WTMF EVER HAPPENED TO JODECI??

He co produced 5 joints on the beyonce album too. He produced on 4 of the biggest /best selling albums of 2013 and only on the coli is he not relevant.

Will he duplicate that success with Jodeci? I think you could put any producer on JT and Beyonce and their fan base would buy

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

this is all industry & pop chit.

nevermind.

 

[Barry Sanders]

You gotta realize though that it was downplayed as a "home invasion" attack. They left that other part out for obvious reasons. Only reason I found it out was through my cousin, who lived in Teaneck, NJ at the time.

What's crazy is, Jodeci unknowingly made a career move to avoid, what we all would later call, the Bad Boy death trap and still got caught in the end by another monster (Death Row) on some Final Destination shyt.

jodeci was never signed to bad boy or death row

Listen, nothing wrong with biggin up Devante at all. And nothing wrong with admitting that Timbaland probably learnt a lot off of Devante. But Timbaland surpassed his teacher and that's that. Nothing unusual about it, it's exactly what's supposed to happen.

I never said they were signed. They were just around those negative elements surrounding both labels.

Pharrell's defintitely a contender, but Pharrell's 2013 was more of an artistic high than just a producer. For example, he was featured on the Daft Punk songs, but wasn't a producer. The 24 hour video, again, is more of an achievement as an artist than it is a producer. Him scoring those movies is a big deal, but in that case, Pharrell has arguably the Top producer since around 2010 because he scored the first Despicable Me and he scored the music for the Oscars.

As far as his contributions to those albums, only "Blurred Lines" was bigger than what Timbaland was doing. That was a single song where Timbaland was co-producing hit albums. As far as the Grammys, Timbaland himself wasn't nominated, but several of the songs he produced were nominated and won.

"Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky'' are the #1 and #2 songs of 2013 in any order you choose though, fam. I fukk with Timbo no doubt, but no one would tell you he ran 2013 over Pharrell..

By 1996, Timbaland was clearly ahead of Devante.

Aaliyah- One In A Million

Ginuwine- The Bachelor

Missy Elliott- Supa Dupa Fly

^^^ All albums that have been cited as game changers. Even if we were to negate Tim's R&B work with Aaliyah and Ginuwine, when was Devante ever as respected as Timbaland as a Hip Hop producer?

Pharrell didn't have anything to do with the production of "Get Lucky" though. Yes, "Blurred Lines" was the biggest record of 2013 and it was produced by Pharrell, but Timbaland produced the biggest album of 2013 along with three of the biggest records of 2013. As a producer, Timbaland had a bigger year than Pharrell. As an artist, Pharrell clearly had a bigger year.

none of those productions were on the level of devante's work, aside from "one in a million", which was co-produced by missy.

what does hip-hop have to do with anything? since when did devante ever claim to be a hip-hop producer? youre all over the place.

and even then, "no more pain" is better than any timbaland hip-hop beat.

the better question is, when was timbaland ever truly respected as an elite hip-hop producer?
