| -REVIEW INTRO-One
of the greatest producers in the game is about to release his 3rd album (Tim's Bio his
2nd, Magoo did not get billing). And though this album has suffered many delays,
blackground has finally decided to give it the go. Does the album continue the homerun
after homerun that Tim has been putting out lately? Or is there a reason to the constant
delays?
-TRACK RUN-DOWN-
1. Intro
(ft. Fat Man Scoop) – One head knockin ass beat kicks this cd off, as Fatman
Scoop and Timbaland give props to their cities and make sure you know who keeps the
parties hot. Tim and Mag are back. I wish this beat had been used for an entire song, that
shit would be wild.
$1.00
2. Drop (ft. Fatman Scoop) – I heard this song
a long time ago, back when the album was originally supposed to released back in Febuary.
Anyway, this is a club track that split part of the way through to a completely different
beat. Its hot ish, and a party anthem that has had some time under its belt..but still
brings the good. If this song doesn't get you on the dance floor....you probably lack a
pulse.
$2.00
3. All Y'all (ft. Sebastian) – First
"OFFICIAL" single off the album here, and you guys should be seeing a video for
this around soon. Anyway, Tim and Mag just get crazy on this hot ass beat. This is one of
those tracks that you just listen to while ridin in your car. On this track, Tim, Mag, and
Sebastian spit a song that is just for all y'all.
$3.50
"I'm loaded for cash, loaded for class, loaded with a lot of things. Even got a gat
loaded for that ass." - Timabaland
4. It's Your Night (ft. Sebastian) – This song
has had to grow on me. I like it, but more times than not...this is the only song on the
album that causes me to hit the skip button. On this song, Tim, Mag, some guy that sounds
like Biggie, and Sebastian rap to a more laid back track that is a little too slow
for its own good. The hook is catchy though...very catchy.
$.75
5. Hummin – This is a FUNNY ass interlude/song
where Timbo raps about those people who be in the clubs with that stank ass breathe. Its
not a real song, but this thing deserves to credit.
$1.50
"Get out my face, cause your breathe is hummin. People in the club breathe always be,
be, be, be, be hummin.." - Timbaland
6. Indian Carpet – I think this is one of
the best beats Timbaland has ever done, and the way he and Mag spits on this thing is
remarkable. Makes me wonder who wrote this for them, cause if they always sounded like
this..I doubt this album would've been delayed since Feb. I love the slight beat switch
for Mag.
$4.25
7. Party People (ft.
Jay-Z & Twista) – Tim brings this beat back to the style the Jigga
and Tim track was on "Tim's Bio". Another fast paced hot ass track, where Jigga
and Twista have a F'N field day. I thought Twista was dead, but its good to hear the
Chicago-ian again. Like Tim makes mention in the song..this a dope ass track.
$3.75
"Hitin him high, bitin their ear. Tyson style on them motha fuckas. Vampire
style, I'm a blood sucka" - Magoo
8. People Like Myself
(ft. Playa) – On this song, Tim and Mag talk about all the people
who've come around them and claimed them as family since they've become famous. That's
whay they only hang with people like themselves. I think this is my favorite song on the
album. WHERE THE HELL IS PLAYA'S 2ND ALBUM?!?
$4.50
"People like myself, only hang with self. Cause that's the way to go. I can't go
outside without finding some new kin folk. People on my left, people on my right. All in
my earhole, makes me be like whoa. And find me somewhere else to go." - Playa
"Pull out my dick, piss on your bitch ass. Sit on your face, now you gotta kiss
ass." - Magoo
9. Voice Mail Interlude - Not exactly sure what the
point of this interlude is. Ah well, there's some voice mail messages, and then Tim doing
some horrible singing. Kind of funny.
$.50
10. Serious (ft. Petey Pablo) – Basically,
Petey and Sebastian join the duo once again to get this get hype track even hyper. On this
song, these boys rap about how ish is serious, and how the only game they playing is
theirs..and they ain't never fouling out.
$3.50
11. Roll Out (ft. Sebastian & Petey Pablo) – This
is the first song I heard from the album, and it was back in like November of 2000. This
song once again shows Tim's creativy, as the sound of a popcorn popper rest in the
background. It sounds wierd as hell, but its so damn sweet. Another one of those coveted
Ride in your car tracks.
$3.00
12. Love Me (ft. Tweet) – Missy and Timbaland's
newest protege gets to shine on this very addictive song, that is so simple..yet so
interesting. It a way, her voice is somewhat reminiscant of Aaliyah. Anyway, Tweet has
definately gained my attention after this track.
$3.00
13. Baby Bubba (ft. Petey Pablo & Sebastian) –
Tim and Mag take a Reggae hook with a ol tv' show style guitar string in the
background. Its hot. Another track that will get you bouncing, just a little weaker
compared to some of the other tracks.
$2.00
14. In Time (ft. Ms. Jade, "Mad" Skillz) - If
you haven't heard Ms. Jade yet...you need to. This girl is about to kill some airwaves.
Anyway, this track is has an ol school vibe with a hook that is almost too damn good to be
true. Did I mention how sweet Jade is? Oh yeah, and we get to hear from the mysterious
Skillz (formerly Mad Skillz) again. Why hasn't this guy hasn't had a non underground album
released yet?
$3.25
15. Mr. Richard – An interlude where Timbaland
gets a pretty mean message from the father of a girl he's dating, and basically telling
him that he wants Tim to stop dating her.
$.50
16. Considerate Brother (ft. Ludacris) - On this
song, Tim/Mag/Luda rap about how they don't dog the women..so you can call them a
considerate brother. Another beat switch for this song...Timbo is a bad man.
$2.75
17. Beat Club(Untitled) - This is a track to let
Timbaland's Beat Club artists just let loose. I'm not sure of all of these guys
names...but I'm sure I'll know them soon enough.
$4.00
18. Drama (ft. Sebastian & Petey Pablo) - Damn.
That's all that can be said about this eerie cypher track. Each person that comes through
drops some nice words to match the style of the person before them. This song is worth the
price of the album alone.
$4.50
19. I am Music (ft. Aaliyah and Playa) - One
of the last songs the late Aaliyah will be heard on, and what a fitting song. On this
track, Tim, Playa, and Aaliyah sing about how they are music. Its a very unique song, as
they all place themselves in 1st person as if they were music.
$4.00
"You may find me at shopping malls. I'm not buying, but I'll be for sale." -
Aaliyah
