he solo debut from hip-hop producer Timbaland (Missy Elliot, Aaliyah and Ginuwine) is an all-star collection of rappers and hot tracks. Moving from behind the board to behind the mic, Timbaland assembles NAS ("To My"), Jay-Z ("Lobster & Scrimp"), Missy Elliott and his old partner Magoo ("Here We Come") and Mad Skillz ("Wit' Yo' Bad Self") to bring flavor to each one of his tracks. A noticeable theme of TV show theme samples is cleverly used on various tunes here.
Throw in slick guest spots from Aaliyah ("John Blaze"), Ginuwine (Keep It Real") and Twista ("Who am I") and you've got a seriously hot album from beginning to end. Though producers' solo albums are often nothing to get excited about, Timbaland's initial full-length release is solid, more than holding its weight against albums from other noted producers such as Jermaine Dupree and Sean "Puffy" Combs.|
