Tim's Bio (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Timbaland

The second instalment from Mr Mosely this time excludes the cartoon voice of Magoo and is an improvement from his first album which had hints that the guy could be magic. This has more hints! Released in 98, the majority of tracks are again done with artists within the label but by this time his reputation has increased and the sound is coming through. 2 singles released shows his continued improvement

I Get It On - Features Bassey ...
...nowhere near the best track on here but leads you up to the second track which features Nas.
To My - As mentioned before Nas adds top lyrics to this tune which again is average but we're getting there. Features a sample from Aretha Franklins Thrill Is Gone
Here We Come - The first single released by Timbaland and it gets talked about by so many people. Why would he use a spiderman sample!? I still dont know if it works or not but at ... more

I Get It On - Features Bassey and is a taste of things to come, ok its nowhere near the best track on here but leads you up to the second track which features Nas.

Here We Come - The first single released by Timbaland and it gets talked about by so many people. Why would he use a spiderman sample!? I still dont know if it works or not but at least he has the balls to throw it all together and see if people like it. Features Missy and Magoo.
Wit Yo Bad Self - Features Mad Skillz and includes a sample of I Dream Of Jeannie but doesnt do it for me
Lobster & Scrimp - The title pulls you in straight away and is a good duet with Jay Z. The second single to come from ths album, good video and good contribution from both. Production good as always, just an all round good tune
Whatcha Know About This - This is the first time i heard a 'switch' where the tempo of the track changes considerably half way through and in fact could be two different songs. Mocha and Babe Blue lend female rap vocals to this innovative production. Again hands up for trying it, it does work
Cant Nobody - Features 1 Life 2 Live and continues on the switch theme, one half is good the other acceptable. Got good radio play this one but a pain for djs to mix!
What Cha Talkin Bout - An average track which could have been a filler but still experimental with the beats. Includes Magoo, Static and Lil Man on vocals. Lil Man is just one of the other guys who has changed his voice, its interesting to know who it is
Put Em On - Static Major again on this one but doesnt deliver as an all round good track
Fat Rabbit - Ludacris on this record and his lyrics are always worth listening to. Women may not like this track!
Who Am I - Wow. Id never heard of Twista until i put this on, the faster rapper around and he just blows you away with the speed and clarity of his lyrics. Great build up for him by Timbaland and great production. Superb track
Talking On The Phone - Kelly Price & Missy Elliott do this one and again we're looking at beats youve never heard before. Some would say groudbreaking. The subject matter is not great but tune is good
Keep It Real - We slow down for this like in his first album as we come to the last few tracks the tempo slows. Ginuwine sings this and has a great voice. It shows that Timbaland can do more than experimental head bopping beats
John Blaze - Slower than the previous and Aaliyah finally gets involved. Worth the wait.
Birthday - Its all about Playa on this track, one for the ladies but a good addition
3.30 In the morning - Seems like a filler to me, just doesnt do much this track

All in all pretty good. Improved songs, more artists featured, Magoo is in the background on a couple of tracks so you can live with that. Just shows the progression of Timbaland as a producer and all round performer
