Timbaland's Shock Value 2

[hanzosword]

Does anybody like Tim's new album? I'm probably one of his biggest fans but I have to say that he has left his original formula behind for better album sales. Timbaland, especially when he worked with Missy Elliott, used to be a beast on the beats, but it seems now that the beast has been tamed.

His beats used to be really futuristic, otherworldly and way above average, but now everything he is making sounds so mediocre. He and Missy have both said that they hold back on their creativity because the really creative stuff they used to make didn't sell as well as they would have liked. So they toned down their beats because people didn't know how to react to music that sounded good, but sounded like it was from outer space.

I just really want him to start making beats again like he did in the 90's and early 2000's. The album is full of random collaborations like Miley Cyrus, Drake, Jojo and Katy Perry but it's just not working for me.

Here are some of the beats that put him and Missy on the map in the first place;

GOD DAMN

Lacefronts were a MESS back in the day.


Damn Shame.

Surprisingly I only like the rock tracks on his album. Well, none of them are rock but the one with Daughtry Is great.


Morning After Dark... The SoShy verse... That bitch can get it.

I'm still a fan, but he has gone down in quality since Shock Value I, which I did like. However, he was on top of his game in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Morning After Dark is catchy but everything else sounded rushed and promo-tastic from what I heard of the album.

Hopefully Missy Elliott will get her ass in gear with the new album and show them how it's done.

I bought "Morning After Dark". My Lover hates the way his voice sounds while singing the hook. It's the only song I will buy from his album.
