When you hear a Timbaland song you instantly know it's him. He's been great before he was big, and still is.

LoL..I was waiting for this response. The offended pop fan who wants to call us music snobs for thinking this is crap. Well, it is crap. I don't care if Chris Cornell or Timbaland are successful. Chris Cornell was successful when he fronted Soundgarden, and their music was great. Its all about the music man. And this stuff is straight up bad. Timbaland too, who I would agree has been a pioneer of production in the past, has now started relying on a repetetive formula that all but guarantees top 40 radio play. Good for making money, not so good for pushing any kind of creative boundaries.
If you want to argue that Timbaland and Cornell are business geniuses, I'll give you that. As musicians though...yawn.
