Advantages: More good than bad Disadvantages: Still some tracks which make you wonder what he was on when putting them together
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
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 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. 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 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

Album Notes
Personnel includes: Timbaland, Bassey, Nas, Mad Skillz, Magoo, Missy "Missdemeanor" Elliott, Jay-Z, Mocha, Babe Blue, 1 Life 2 Live, 'Lil Man, Static, Ludichris, Twista (rap vocals); Kelly Price, T. K. Kirkland, Ginuwine, Aaliyah, Playa, Virginia Williams, Troy Mitchell (vocals); Bill Pettiway (guitar); Dante Nolan (bass); Nisan Stewart (drums); Darryl Pearson, Lisa Smith (background vocals). Recorded at Manhattan Center, The Hit Factory, Sony Studios, New York, New York; Mastersound, Virginia Beach, Virginia; Village Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California. The solo debut from hip-hop producer Timbaland (Missy Elliot, Aaliyah and Ginuwine) is an all-star collection of rappers and hot tracks. Moving from behind the board to behind the mic, Timbaland assembles NAS ("To My"), Jay-Z ("Lobster & Scrimp"), Missy Elliott and his old partner Magoo ("Here We Come") and Mad Skillz ("Wit' Yo' Bad Self") to bring flavor to each one of his tracks. A noticeable theme of TV show theme samples is cleverly used on various tunes here. Throw in slick guest spots from Aaliyah ("John Blaze"), Ginuwine (Keep It Real") and Twista ("Who am I") and you've got a seriously hot album from beginning to end. Though producers' solo albums are often nothing to get excited about, Timbaland's initial full-length release is solid, more than holding its weight against albums from other noted producers such as Jermaine Dupree and Sean "Puffy" Combs.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (12/10/99, p.120) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...If Timbaland is making futuristic funk,...he's envisioning a bright,...technology-makes-life-easier sort of world." Entertainment Weekly (12/18/98, pp.79-80) - "...With its reference to Spider-Man and its liner note nods to Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, TIM'S BIO is steeped in comic-book culture, a trend that allows rappers to indulge in violent fantasies that have no connection to reality..." - Rating: B+ Mixmag (1/99, p.115) - 3 out of 5 - "...the saviour of r n' b....dancehall-inspired stuttering rhythms, sinuous funk and off-kilter melodies....Focus on the production...for proof that Timbaland really is a genius..." Vibe (1/99, p.190) - "...Timbaland creates skittering rhythms, layered with whispered incantations, that are among music's most bugged....he proves that you can be commercial and innovative at the same time..." The Source (1/99, p.184) - 3.5 Mics (out of 5) - "...Timbo shows and proves that he can cater to outsiders as nicely as he can to his own fam....Better known for his beats than his use of samples..."
