Tim was without a doubt one of the most significant producers in the 90's, his squad Da Bassment was serious!
But now, it's like he don't even like doing what he does anymore, you can tell!

I was probably the biggest Swing Mob/Gold Mind Inc. fan on the planet. I still consider myself to be. I'd buy every album. Aaliyah's, Ginuwine's, Missy's, Timbo's, Playa's, Nicole's, etc. They were making my kind of music; different, catchy, great production and, at times, dark. After Aaliyah died, you could tell shit wasn't the same anymore. Timbaland and Missy seemed to want to venture into other things, as to move on from that tragedy and not look back. Even if it meant not working with the same artists anymore. Guess it reminded them of the past.
And you could also tell there was a huge gap forming between Ginuwine and Timbaland. Timbaland went from producing entire Ginuwine albums, to producing one song on his album... Maybe. I also remember Ginuwine saying that his Back II Da Basics album was going to be him going back to his roots and that would involve Timbaland producing most of the album. Which, never happened. Timbo didn't produce shit and, in an interview, I remember Ginuwine saying there was a change of plans on Tim's part, or something to that effect. I was super disappointed. Fans were waiting for that one!
So, this is old news. However, it's nice to see Ginuwine confirm what I've been thinking/saying, all this time. I've always thought it was cool for Timbo to venture into different genres of music and work with various artists. He wanted to expand his work. That's growth. That being said, you should never forget your roots and should always make time for the people you've had great musical chemistry with. I expected Tim to at-least hook up with Ginuwine every now and again. They made some serious music. So good in-fact, Tim used the same formula on FutureSex LoveSounds, that he used for Ginuwine... The Bachelor (the whole song/interlude/beat switching). In my opinion, Ginuwine and Aaliyah brought the best out of Timbaland, and vice-versa.
I'd take a Timbaland/Ginuwine track over a Timbaland/Pussy Cat Dolls or whatever-the-fuck track, any day.

We were comparing the formula TIMBALAND used to STRUCTURE both albums. Ginuwine and Justin's singing/vocal ability/style is a whole other topic.blackrain;488267 said:the formula may have been similar, but I can't picture Ginuwine singing songs like Summer Love, Lovestoned...the only song on that album that I can picture Ginuwine singing is Until The End of Time...
He definitely ran with Ginuwine and Prince's style. Guess that's who is influences are.usmarin3;488241 said:Been saying that shit forever, JT ran with Ginuwines style and threw some Prince and MJ there.

Every time I hear "What Goes Around... Comes Around", I always say: This song is totally up Ginuwine's alley.
Pretty much. JT was more relevant and marketable at the time. Timbo was all business.BlaqueHoney01;511841 said:I think a lot of us have been saying Timbo gave JT Ginuwine's career. After tehy stopped working together, Ginuwine wasn't Ginuwine anymore. I would rather hear Ginuwine on Timbo's beat than JT. I still bump Ginuwine's album. "Only When You're Lonely" is one of my face jams.
“Me and Tim were real close at one point. A lot of the times that I reached out, there were a bunch of excuses. I begged and pleaded with him because I felt a certain way but I was like, is it just a bad vibe that I’m picking up on? Maybe I’m bugging out, I don’t know. But it came out to be true and I still feel like he owes me an apology for that. The reason I’m pissed off at him now is because of what he did. I would’ve been cool and not bothered him if he would’ve said, ‘Nah, I’m too busy,’ or gave me the lame excuse like he’s been giving me. But don’t do it and then not do what you’re supposed to do [to promote the song].....
You don’t alienate the people that helped you and started you out… What is it about me now that you just don’t like? And if it is something, say it. I can take truth. I can’t take that kind of stuff and right now I don’t really like him. I really don’t. That’s not being a man.”
