TImbaland and half of hip hop now is influenced by our bleeps and bloops

[snooch]

No shit. When Timbaland did that one track for Justin Timberlake Bring Sexy Back, I thought "Jesus, this is minimal!." I'm still not sure if that is good or bad. For a mass produced pop song, it was pretty damned good, but seeing a song marketed to 10-11 year old girls that is basically a minimal track was disturbing to me.

Timbaland is a good example of a very clever man, but he in fact is a team of producers that he fronts. It`s his engineers who are the real smarty poops.
But in turn I think some of the new hip hop/urban or whatever it is called this week is in itself creative off it`s own back.
Some real wacked out shuffled out but still in beats and clever compression and so on.
I think techno could learn something from this, and I certainly have picked up some tricks and tips.

Techno is very insular and sometimes people in it tend to think it`s the most innovative groundbreaking thing ever, but when you really look around there is some seriously cool innovative stuff out there in other genres that can be learned from and also that deserve respect, and also a lot of techno is very dated and formulaic.

There is always something more to learn.

Good point Steve, at the same time imagine how awkward it is to me when I walk by my 11 year old's room and hear High School Musical over Gez Varley, lol. It's entirely surreal how much the hip-hop/r&b community bastardized the whole rave movement here in the states, and now everything on the radio is a minimal song or a r&b remix set over relief records.

Timbalands production is spot on. everytime. love or hate pop, sexy back was bloody fantastic.

The guy is also a complete fraud.

There was that notable example of him completely ripping an old modscene tune for a track on the Nelly Furtado album (search youtube, there's much evidence about) and that's just one he's been picked up on.

I don't doubt overall his production standards are slick, but give anyone a team of proficient engineers and the best quality studio gear money can buy and they'll probably manage to put out something equally slick.

[The Overfiend]

listen to jay z brush your shoulders off tell me he's a fraud on his own though
he's got a team now granted but he is still on his game when he first dropped i was like ok dude is totally into drum n bass back in the mid 90's

Hip hop has always ripped.
Doesnt take away the cleverness in the production even on his latest album.
Read lots of interviews with him and various members of his team, there was a good article in sound on sound not too long ago.
Very interesting.

I'm not saying he doesn't have talent.

I'm just saying that people who completely rip and don't give credit don't deserve to be put on a pedestal.

I totally get that sampling is a big part of hip hop - DJ Shadow lifts whole segments of stuff, but then again he gives total acknowledgement on the sleeve notes.

The fact that he lifted IP in that one case and refused to even acknowledge the fact - and this wasn't just a loop here a drum hit there, this was the whole fucking tune - shows him up as lame in the extreme.

In my humble opinion.

[The_Laughing_Man]

Oh I`m not suggesting he isn`t a bastard.
Wouldn`t have got to where he was without being one.
