Justin Timberlake - If I



Funky! This is actually kinda hawt!
I like the Hall & Oatses sample in the background too...but the problem is that the chorus kinda just hangs in the air..theres not really a hook.

Is it produced by Timbaland? I thought JT stopped making records with Timbaland.
Well, if this would be the lead single, it would be a very weak one. Not a lot of inprovement since SexyHag.

Just a little synth flourish from "I Can't Go For That", not the bassline or guitar part.

after a few listens i like it too. But it should be no lead single!! If he really wants to be seen as modern times Prince or MJ he must do something with a strong melody. Once again, like Magic, this song has a funky beat and stuff, but it lacks a great melody.

I doubt people in ten years would like to listen to this.

It's actually T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake. I think it is great for a rap single.

Nothing special or groundbreaking , but the song is pretty decent overall. I like it.
"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart
