I'm happy at this reunion! I prefer Justin with Pharrell than Timbaland. His first album stays in my rotation on kco0L-FM. Pharrel just brings out a more geniune sound to me.

I use to be a big fan of Timbaland. But didn't like his response to me when I asked him about what he said about ...

Pharrell tried to strongarm Jive to get Clipse released by saying he would not work on new Justin Timberlake until that happened.

Now that it is all water under the bridge, and Timbaland looks like he's on to new things, the timing seems right for this collaboration. I don't think Justin has worked with Pharrell since Justified?

He worked on Pharrell's last album "Girl". But still that could have also been in Pharrell's vault already done & he just added it on his album. Again I'm glad they're back together.

Is it me or does it seems that Justin is a fairweather type of artist. In other words, whichever producer between Timbo and Pharrell has the hot streak at the time or in recent history, he'll work with that producer. I am not the least bit surprised that he's going back to Pharrell after his recent successes he had between himself ("Happy") and Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines", and not to mention Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" and their Album of the Year, "Random Access Memory".

Although his work with Timbo on "Suit & Tie" yielded nice returns, (it was a huge hit nonetheless), but the album as a whole paled in comparison to their previous works and Timbaland stuff just isn't hot right now. That duet with Aaliyah was atrocious and shameful.

Tim admitted to being deeply in love with Aaliyah...

Thats the thing, he is not really an "artist." He is a reflection of the producers he is currently working with at the moment. I am not sure why he is so revered and critically acclaimed. Its obvious his music career is not a priority.

no matter who produce Justin, this clown can not sing. an older version of justin bieber

Timberlake is a good voice actor for animated films but painfully mediocre as an artist. He's a "culture vulture" as they say. But whatever....

Justin Timberlake is not "painfully mediocre" or a "culture vulture." Just say what is really behind
these empty claims: you do not like his music.

And you're another one...

Timberlake, and Elvis, for that matter, are both southern whites who grew up listening to Black
American music and liked it so much that they incorporated those stylings into their own. This
does not make one a "culture vulture" because both ALWAYS gave/give props to those Black
artists who inspired them.

Now, if your argument is that the white American media can sometimes depict white entertainers
who are mostly inspired and influenced by Black artists as being innovative, etc. is unfounded
while the artists in question deny their Black influence, then I would agree with you. But that's not
happening here.

This is such fucking bullshit:

Michael Jackson was the very same way! Dangerous is MJ's desire to do new jack swing, so who
does he work with? The architect of new jack swing: Teddy Riley. Invincible is MJ's desire to do
post new jack swing R&B music, so who does he work with? The architect of post new jack swing
R&B music: Rodney Jerkins.

Timberlake is in the business of selling records. So, you're going to cast aspersions because his
plan to do so includes working with hot producers who help sell records? It's like you nitwits
want Justin Timberlake's white ass to do country-western and stop being influenced by Michael
Jackson and not to work with popular black pop producers. You know what y'all sound like?

Racists.

And as expected there's an apologist troll here. I'm ignoring him....

Of course you'll ignore me; your argument is built on sand and I'm the one poster in the
Org-universe who will let you know that it is. Telling you that your opinion on this matter
is groundless is not trolling, by the way.

Iggy's no better though. JT doesn't receive enough criticism but Iggy got what was coming to her.

Absolutely agree. I should have written that better. I meant to say that if IGGY can get trashed for her culture vulture why doesn't JT? He gets a pass with EVERYTHING. He is similiar to Beyonce in that respect. I don't think he has every been harshly criticized for anything.

You're a human being? Well, no shit, Sherlock.



But when it comes to stating a inane opinion about Justin Timber"fake" or whatever the fuck
he's referred to in this forum, you are "another one" who simply lets her disdain for his music
and the popularity he receives from the media contaminate your posts and reason. Stop hiding
behind that you have an opinion for they are like armpits: everyone has two and they both
stink. But there's nothing in Timberlake's work/career that suggests that he apes from Black
American culture without giving just due to the Black American artists who influenced him.

Just because a white dude is infatuated with Black American art forms and refers to them often
in his art does not make him a "culture vulture." This board gets fucking ridiculous when it comes
to him and Taylor Swift. There is nothing written in the Prince fan book that states Prince fans
are those who automatically reject those who the media adores. It's like this board hates Justin
Timberlake and/or Taylor Swift simply because it thinks as Prince fans we're supposed to.

OMG! Justin Timberlake hasn't been criticized harshly for anything! We can't let that stand! We
must find something to condemn him for!!!

You sound and look fucking ridiculous, Carousal. Let me help you out: the reason why Iggy Azalea
gets accused of being a culture vulture is because she puts on a "Black American" affect when per-
forming her music. It makes her appear disingenuous as she adopts a "Black" persona when she's
performing and then resorts back to her regular affect when she's not performing. If Justin Timber-
fake did the same, he would get similarly lambasted. Justin Timberlake is a branch off of the Michael
Jackson root, but that doesn't make him affected in the same manner Iggy Azalea is.

Well I just thought I brought it to your attention since you like addressing people like they are a garden tool. Sit down and Get over yourself and that is all I am going to say to you. You have shown me on more than one occasion you lack the capacity to disagree respectfully and maturely so this is my last message to you, have a good day asshole.

Um, no; I don't address people like they are hoes, shovels, etc. I have a caustic posting style
and I do not suffer stupid posts gladly.

Look, you and your pal, Dayze, are always huffing and puffing and going around acting like your
taste and opinions in music are holy writ; they are not. As the reader of this thread can see,
when push comes to shove, and somebody with some brains challenges you, you fold like a lawn
chair. There is no evidence you can point to concerning Justin Timberlake's career and attribute
to his being a "culture vulture." Objectively, Justin Timberlake is a white pop/R&B singer/enter-
tainer whose approach to pop/R&B music is based primarily off of a Michael Jackson template.
But, there's nothing wrong with a white guy being in love with Michael Jackson and being heavily
indebted to him artistically.

Notice how quick he was to be rude and bring up race in this discussion when no one else mentioned it first.....amazing how people on the Org (and beyond) get up in arms about the Beatles and Justin Timberlake but don't have that same passion for the very artists that laid the foundation of the sound that those artists imitated.....there's nothing new under the sun huh?
