'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I are?

I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you could get a tip

Off topic, but that is actually a really good song! There are a lot of worse Timbaland songs than that one.

And I investigated who this guy was because I couldnt believe what his message was.

Compare this to the worst Prince song you know...

This is what is considered popular music, and we wonder why society is acting and getting dumber.


People on high horses, it's not like 'Tick Tick Bang' was fucking high art. lol

No, but for every 'Tick Tick Bang' there are works of absolute genius like 'Joy In Repetition'. You could add every song Timbaland has ever done together and they wouldn't match up to the artistic depth of that one song.

Who is Timbaland? And why did he/she name himself/herself after ugly shoes?

timbaland makes lame repetetive beats using fucking computer software
any moron can do that
that doesn't make you a musician and neither a producer

Prince has had hundreds of people trying to rip him off from the early 80's till now rolleyes

Sadly he doesn't even do that. He has a team of about 5-6 lackeys doing all the work then he slaps his name on it. Danja being the main man behind all of Timbaland's hits over the last few years.

True. He's just a name and a brand at this point. People don't want to work with him for musical benefit, they just want the name and the PR.

There are hundreds of lesser known hip-hop/R&B producers that are a hundred times more talented than him.

It's hard for me to say cause I wasn't old enough to remember those years, but I guess timbaland productions were all over the radio at one point.

I actually like some of Timbaland's productions but to put him and Prince in the same sentence is absurd. Prince's impact over time will be much more far reaching and probably will not be felt or appreciated until "after" he is gone.To me Prince is someone whose body of work has to be studied and broken down. I cannot imagine that Timbaland can ever make me work that hard. No disrespect to Timbaland thats just how it is when you are dealing with a legendary talent.
