Little known fact, "Rock Your Body" was a song by the Neptunes written for Michael Jackson, but he turned it down, Timberlake got it and wadda ya know - he gets songwriting credits on that one too. I'm not sure about talent either with the producers he gets could make anyone sound great. Music is good, but I wouldn't be so fast to call him a talented artist since he creates nothing from scratch himself.

I"m not sure how writing credits go but sting got a writing credit for money for nothing and all he wrote was "I want my MTV".
Nevertheless, I'm going by what Pharrell Williams (from the neptunes) said about justified and how Justin was extremely involved in the writing and producing aspect of the album, it wasn't as though he just showed up.
