Amazon.com's Best of 1998
Timbaland was known as an innovative producer before deciding to make a name for himself; on his second album, he shows that he keeps his best tracks stockpiled for the home team. When he raps, "He said 'Timbaland can't rap' / But I don't care / Because I make dope tracks / I make you bounce and wiggle / And do this and that," it's no idle boast; it hasn't been this much fun to strap yourself into a pair of headphones in years. --Randy Silver
Amazon.com
Though Timbaland's work might be characterized by its daring unpredictability in terms of rhythmic structure, it's his youthful sense of fun that proves most infectious. His ideas feed both the empirical and the creative mind alike. Tim's Bio is an elegant summation of the first chapter in the musical life of the producer who has revolutionized the sound and context of American R&B (and urban-based music as a whole) in as little as three years, with his smash albums for Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, and Ginuwine, along with Tim's own partnership with rapper Magoo (who forms somewhat of a power core of Tim's mercurial crew, Da Bassment). Bassment regulars get the star treatment they have become accustomed to, while new talents--such as Kelly Price and wordsmith Twista--shine just as brightly. --Tamara Palmer

After listening through hip-hop's mainstream, you hear tracks from the innovative DJ Premier, the Trackmasters, & No Limit's Beats By The POund. We look into the deep depths of the dirty south in southern Virginia and we find Tim Mosley (a.k.a. Timbaland). With many hits tied behind his belt including Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody?", SWV's "Can We", and even Jay-Z's "Nigga What? Nigga Who?", Tim has kept a low profile and is the most popular beat maker of hip-hop today. His first effort (which is really a compilation produced by him) is the best of his work. With the hardcore elements of the album (i.e. "To My" featuring Nas & Mad Skillz, "Who Am I?" featuring Twista, and "Fat Rabbit" performed by Ludichris)along with a taste of rhythm & blues (i.e. "Keep It Real" by Ginuwine, "Happy Birthday" by Playa, and "Talking On The Phone" by Kelly Price), Tim stays true to his unique sounds and banging beats. This album is a definite jeep-rocker and is good at parties. It also has numerous guest appearances by such artists as Jay-Z, Magoo, Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, Nas, & Twista. He also introduces to the world a new group called 1 Life 2 Live and a new female MC, Bassey. Timbo's vocal presence may not be present much on the album, but his bangin' beats make up for it. This is a must for the beat bangin' production freaks out there. Timbaland is an inspiration to many and has created a new sound for the new millenium.
Tim comes hard with the beats on this one December 18, 1999

Timbaland almost out did himself with this one. He gets tighter and tighter with every cd he produces. If anyone dosen't know who tim is let me fill u in. He is the producer responsible for making hit albums by : Ginuwine(both cds), Missy(both cds with missy's help), Aalyiah(second cd), Tim and magoo(welcome to our world), Are u that somebody(Aalyiah)-dr. doolittle sdtk, Nas(one track), Lil Kim(twice my age-track)...etc. This cd takes him to new hights by bringing in jigga(jay-z), missy and the rest of the crew along with some new voices. The best songs here are : 2,4, 6, 7, 15, and 16. Timbaland is best as a producer though and the only thing with this cd is that he dosen't do much rapping. His skills can pass since he produces he can get away with it. But don't listen expecting to hear him rap all through....because he dosen't. But expect to hear some hard, wall shaking, head-knocking beats as we always expect from Tim. The other half of the cd is R+B and 2 out of the 6 songs are good. His best beats I think are the ones he did for missy's new cd...Da real world. That is another one to check out if u don't have it.Overall this cd is good for just the beats if nothing else. get if your looking for some new sounds to test your sound system or just if your a fan..or non-fan.

The only weakness on this CD is that Timbaland can't rap, which he rarly does does on this disc. It's more of a mix tape and an album combined. He uses some newer artists on here which is suprising, but NAS and Jay-Z do represent on here along with the usuals Missy and Maggo. Maybe he wanted his beats to be the focus of this album, as well they should be. Songs like Here we Go, Wathca Talkin' Bout, and Who Am I (with Twista goin' off) hook you in immediatly, while song like What You Know About this and To My reel you in slowly with thier cachy choruses and infectious beats. You won't be able to get these songs out of your head. The R&B part of the tape is not as strong (with Keep it Real starring) but is solid. A good buy for any music fan, and a must have collection from the best producer in hip-hop for any fan of the genre.
Timbaland Is The Man!!!! November 30, 1998

This CD is Timbalands best beats put together yet. The last Cd "welcome to our world" was good but this one is all that. On this one he gets help from true rappers like Nas and Jay-z to add lyrical fire to two of the seventeen tracks. Then he has everyone else here as usual like Aaliyah, missy, magoo etc... I thought this one might be a little corny after hearing the first single, but I was wrong. He has hard beats, smooth beats, mid tempo, and any other kind of beat you can think of. This man is the king of beats. His style cannot be duplicated and will probably be on top with this one. If you like his crew ( missy, Aaliyah, Ginuwine etc..) then get this one. A must have!!
