was just looking at the TIMBO 96-97 thread and reminiscing over all the amazing early Timbaland/Static collaborations from that era, went over to his Wikipedia page and saw that he'd died yesterday, thought/hoped it was some bullshit wiki vandalism, but apparently it's true: http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/02/26/19345210.aspx

Static co-wrote almost everything on Aaliyah's self-titled album (mostly with the long-time AWOL production team Rapture & Key Beats). He was an awesome lyricist.

I until very recently did not realize that Steve Garrett and Sean Garrett were not the same person.
