So don't talk about diversity

By 'diversity' what matters is the difference in the SOUND of his production, not who he works with.

You just names 20 artists who all had variations of the same 5 Timbo beats

 

[KillaCham]

Somebody drop me a Timbo beat you'd describe as 'soulful'. I'll wait.

 

[aka_OG]

you cant go wrong with either choice

timbo the king >>> the neptunes (pharrell + chad)

 

[Stew]

Wtf.

What in the entire fuk.

Clearly we have different definitions of soulful. Soulful = 'damn im zonin the fuk out. Are these tears on my face'

Like...Allure.

Like i said before, 97% of Timbo's beats are uptempo 'heeeey, hooo', 'happy beats, with the flutes n zylophones.' Ngga i dont wanna party all damn day give me SOUL. Timbo aint got that

 

[_Goldie_]

97% ? Bruh, the nigga's specialty is r&B lol.

When it comes to rap beats , its pretty close. But rnb wise, its not even close. Most of his rap beats are uptempo or "heeey,hooo" as u would say, but he does have the layed back shit too..

 

[rip.dilla]

Timbaland joined forces with Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon as a production duo quite recently (Check Justin Timberlake's last album) to get that 'smooth' sound 'cos Tim has been more into heavy synths, drums and electronica since the beginning..

To understand or get a grasp of the diversity of The Neptunes you just have to give a listen to their N. E. R. D. albums

 

[_Goldie_]

So those Aaliyah and Ginuwine albums werent smooth?

 

[Stiff]

this ain't soulful it's funky...there's a difference

 

[Stiff]

smooth don't necessarily equal soulful tho.

 

[CP203]

Them timbaland and magoo albums had some fire ass beats

 

[macadonwoo]

How the fuck is Timbo losing this

Y'all fucking stupid man

Was responding to the post above mine which said... nvm lol

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You actually pointed out the major flaw in Timbo's discography (especially his rap joints). As much sound as he has access to, there isn't much depth in emotion to his beats. A rapper especially feeds off the emotion in a beat and can create something out of that. Tim and P both produced for Jay... but fuck the beats for a second, NO song Timbo produced for Jay lyrically is seeing Allure for that reason alone.

Timbo made Magoo tolerable with his beats..... Timbo made bubba tolerable with his beats... Timbo made Ms Jade tolerable with his beats....Timbo made Tweet tolerable with his beats.....Im sorry but any producer that can make those ppl tolerable gets my vote easy

What kind of low ass bar is this?? Lmao

Man i need to find the vid/interview when Jay z is talking about Magna Carta. They asked why he dont work with Just he said something to the effect of their records are huge moments and take time to craft, cant be rushed, etc. Whereas he just go in w/ Timbo and can crank out a lil feel good record for the masses, like its some microwave shyt hahaha Im paraphrasing but he said it. Timbo's production has no depth

And the pharrell has depth with his production???? Gtfoh!!!! Yea there's real depth with the track "Happy" smfh

Happy is a pop song, a credit to Pharrell's diversity of sound. He can make pop records, still do hip-hop and even make rock joints.

 

[trilladelic]

i voted timbo but pharrell has the better body of work overall

theyre 2 sides of the same coin honestly

i would love a collab project from these two

 

[Mr.LV]

Hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life.

It really is

 

[Mr.LV]

I'm going with Pharell he has more soul in his music and using more instruments in his production compared to timbaland . I don't feel timbaland has crafted anything as soulful as "Nightmares".

Number 1
