this is a thread for dope timbaland ripoffs from the late 90s ~bump--bump--bump-cack~

since 2000 counts and since now up there was looking for Japanese stuff:

I saw this video on Chinese TV the first time I was in (East) Asia in 2001 & it blew my mind. I had no idea any of this was going on (nor that it was produced by Jam & Lewis). Have loved Utada Hikaru ever since.

trying again:

My favourite (album) track from the first Pink album - Soulshock & Karlin on production:

i have srs issue with the conflation of darkchild and timbo itt

I assume you mean b/c most of these tunes ride that faster, bouncier groove? I suspect it caught on more because it's actually easier (though more energetic) to dance to than a "typical" Tim tune of the era because the measures more quickly, plus like soothing harpsichord or guitar hooks.

Still, Timbaland as shorthand for syncopated beats in millennial R&B is a forgivable sin IMO.

No shit, this is among my top 10 rap albums of all time... Though most of the tracks are more traditional NY boom-bap.
