> And, who or what is Timbaland?
R&B producer responsible for the really syncopated, staccato beats on
tracks by Missy Elliot, Aaliyah ("Are You That Somebody" probably his most
famous production) and Ginuwine among others. He also tends to use wacky
samples such as the bit from some Godzilla movie on Ginuwine's "What's So
Different ?". He's also sampled one of Bjork's tunes and is admitedly a
big Bjork fan so maybe there is an IDM connection there. Some people have
compared his beats to d'n'b, but he always dismisses any jungle influence.
Everyone from Blackstreet's Teddy Riley to Kevin "She'kspere" Biggs
(Destiny's Child) have borrowed heavily from his production style in the
past couple of years.
