Personal experience

Grammy-winning music producer Timbaland Ross was a real best-selling single creator in the late 1990s. According to britishhitsongwriters, Timbaland is the 22nd successful arranger in the history of uk charts. Few hip-hop producers can find such a balance between commercialization and production level like Timbaland. Almost all artists in Timbaland are big names, such as MissyElliott, Aaliyah, Jay-Z, Ginuwine, Ludacris, SnoopDogg, Nas and JustinTimberlake. And some lesser-known singers or newcomers have also made great breakthroughs in their music career through his production, the most typical examples are PeteyPablo, BubbaSparxxx and Tweet.

From her debut to the beginning of 2000, Timbaland seldom used sampling in her works, especially in her rap album, which was a great challenge for a hip-hop music producer. Since 2002-03, due to too many invitations, Timbaland has gradually started to increase its sampling frequency. In 2006-07, his "MakeMeBetter" for Pastime and "Promiscuous" for NellyFurtado became simplified procedures for sampling and adding drums. However, Timbaland's works are still one of the best choices for singers to achieve good results in the charts. At the same time, Timbaland gradually began to make songs for artists other than hip-hop, such as bjork, Ashley Simpson, OneRepublic and Shakira, and expanded its business scope.

Early career

Timbaland, whose real name is TimothyZacheryMosley, was born in Virginia Beach, USA. When he first started making music with Casio keyboard, his stage name was "DJTimmyTim" or "DJTinyTim". Mosley and the rapper Melvin Buckliffe (stage name magoo) started a long-term cooperation when they were studying at Thain High School. At the same time, Mosley also joined a juvenile production band named S.B.I.(SurroundedByIdiots), among which Pharrell and Mosley are as popular producers of Neptunes. In addition, he and Malice, a member of today's rap group Clipse, are also high school friends. After hearing about Mosley's production, MissyElliott, an unknown female rapper at that time, began to cooperate with him, when she was working with her own R&; Sista of Group B is looking for a record company and has successfully joined the legendary R&; New york, where SwingMob is located, was also brought by MissyElliott, a brand owned by DeVanteSwing, a member of Jodeci group who successfully signed a contract. Devant, who appreciated Mosley's production potential, gave him a new stage name Timberland by imitating the pronunciation of Timberland, a very popular boot brand in hip-hop circles at that time. Sista, Timbaland and magoo later became important artists under SwingMob, known as "DaBassment". Artists with R& brand also included the famous R & ampb singer Ginuwine, the men's group Playa and the women's group Sugah. Subsequently, Timbaland participated in most of the music production of the label, including Jodesi's albums The Show, The After-Party, The Hotel in 1995, Sista's debut album 4AlltheSistasAroundtheWorld (although it was never released for various reasons) and Ginuwen's Ginuwen. ...

1996_2002

This is the era when Timbaland gradually rose as a music producer. During this period, he not only composed Ludacris's RollOut(MyBusiness), Jay-Z's Hola'Hovito and PeteyPablo's RaiseUp and other popular singles. Together with magoo, he also published two rap albums, Welcome to Our World (1997) and Indecency Proposal (200 1+0), and his solo album Tim's Bio: LifeFrombassament (1998). In addition, he also won the R&; The third album of Aaliyah, a female singer, is a heavy responsibility. She wrote three good songs, WeNeedaResolution, MoreThanaWoman and ICare4U, for this female king who died young.

During this period, Timbaland also founded his own record company BeatClubRecords. The first records released by this label were DarkDays and BrightNights by southern white rapper BubbaSparxxx, and artists such as Ms. Jed, BubbaSparxxx, KileyDean, Sebastian, PeteyPablo and Tweet were signed. Timbaland composed the first single "Ugliness" for this album.

Aaliyah died in the summer of 200 1, which had a great influence on Timbaland, just as he said in an interview with MTV at that time.

Quote: "She is like blood. I lost a lot of blood. There is such a perfect chemical reaction between me and her that I feel that half of my creative inspiration has disappeared with her departure, and I don't know what to say to my fans now. In addition to music, she is such an excellent person and the most special person I have ever met. " Timbaland, music television

2003_2005

The most popular single produced by Timbaland during this period is CryMeaRiver, a work jointly created by ScottStorch for JustinTimberlake. Needless to say, the popularity of this song, I believe even the young lady around you has heard it. In addition, Timbaland almost arranged Tweet's debut album SouthernHummingbird, MissyElliott's UnderConstruction and ThisIsNotATest! The production of many complete albums such as BubbaSparxxx's Delivery. In 2003, Timbaland and magoo released his third album "Underconstruction, PartII".

From 2004 to 2005, Timbaland composed such popular songs as Headsprung by LLCoolJ, HeyNow by Xzibit (meaning Muggin'), PutYouontheGame by theGame and DirtOffYourShoulder by Jay-Z, and produced her fourth album Africa for female singer Brandy.

2006_2007

During this period, Timbaland's partners began to turn more to pop singers, and obviously increased his appearances in songs, such as WaitaMinute by thePussycatDolls, Promiscuous by NellyFurtado, SexyBack by JustinTimberlake and IceBox by Omarion. At the same time, he also began to cooperate with rock artists bjork and DuranDuran.

During this period, Timbaland also founded his new brand Mosley Music Group. In addition to the original artists under BeatClubRecords, he also signed NellyFurtado, KeriHilson and rapper D.O.E In 2006, he helped NellyFurtado produce a global hit album "LOOSE", which successfully promoted him to a world-famous diva.

On April 3rd, 2007, Timbaland released an album TimbalandPresentsShockValue, and invited 50Cent, Dr.Dre, EltonJohn, FallOutBoy, NellyFurtado and MissyElliott. GiveIttoMe, the first single in ShockValue, also triggered a war of words between Timbaland and ScottStorch. In the lyrics, Timbo wrote "I am a real producer, and you are just a child playing the piano", and then he admitted in an interview that this sentence was directed at ScottStorch. The latter then responded with a song "Building Likethat" with the help of Philadelphia rapper NOX, and Timbo's artist D.O.E jumped out and responded with a song "PianoMan". The beef incident has subsided.

In 2007, Timbaland and Nellifoldo were accused of copying the single DoIt from Nellifoldo's album LOOSE released in 2006. After two years of trial, the plaintiff's lawsuit was terminated with 20 1 1 zero compensation, which directly saved them 20 million dollars in compensation. Timbaland's spokesman also said that they were good from the beginning.

2008-20 10

Timbaland continued to expand the scope of cooperation, writing songs for reggae singer Sean Paul, two divas Madonna and Mariah Carey, southern rapper Florida and lead singer Chris Cornell of the famous rock band Sound Garden.

I haven't seen Timbo for a long time in 2009, but the gorgeous return of ShockValue2 made his name shine again, which not only helped KeriHilson to produce her new album "InAPerfectWorld", but also created the number one hit single "GiveItUpToMe" for the sexy Latin diva Shakira, and also collaborated with Daughtry and MileyCyrus to make several tracks.

In March 2009, Timbaland lost the lawsuit against the record company BlackgroundRecords. He accused the company of trying to stop him from transforming from a singer to a producer.

On February 4th, 2009, Timbaland released TimbalandPresentsShockValueII. Unfortunately, compared with the platinum-selling ShockValueI, the evaluation of this sequel is bleak, and even more to the regret of hip-hop fans, there are less than 20% rap singles in this album. In any case, Timbaland's production can still be said to be one of the best choices for singers to achieve good results in the charts.

20 10 till now

On March 20 10, she held a concert with her friend JustinTimberlake, a female singer JOJO, in Manila, Philippines, and part of the concert income was used for charity.

20 10 in August, the tabloid media reported that Timbaland tried to commit suicide, saying that Timberlake was a Jacob &; Co watch was stolen by a thief, and it was probably someone close to Timbaland. After this incident, they found that Timbaland was very upset, which made them very worried. After Timbaland left his home in Malibu, California, his family couldn't contact him, so Timbaland's family asked the LA Public Security Bureau for help. The police said he might be suicidal. Afterwards, Timbaland clarified the rumor in a radio interview. He just went out for a ride, and it's strange why some people say he wants to kill himself. "To tell you the truth, I don't know what happened," Timbaland said. "I don't even know what everyone is talking about." Talking about the stolen watch, Timbaland said, "I did have something stolen, but it wasn't my watch, but something else." . It was stolen by someone close to me, so the only thing I have to do when I drive out is to figure out what to do with it. In addition, Timbaland added that the rumor about his suicide was related to his leaving without saying goodbye, which was why his family began to worry about him. Timbaland first heard the rumor of suicide from the policeman who stopped him. Timbaland said, "He told me that there were reports that I tried to commit suicide or something, so I went back soon. Then I thought, which bastard can make such an inaccurate report! "

20 10, 1 1 year 10, Timbaland announced that he would release a new song every Thursday, so he called it TimboThursday. He mentioned why he chose to release new songs every Thursday. In an interview with Rap-Up, Timbaland mentioned that "he recently joined the ranks of playing Twitter, and my friend told me that KanyeWest releases a new song every Friday, so he. Similarly, SwizzBeats also said to release new songs every Monday. I don't know if they are playing Twitter, but you can kill them and let them know that Thursday belongs to your King Timbo. So let's call it TimboThursday, isn't it cool? "

Timbaland plans to release a series of albums ShockValueIII. , David Guetta, Pitbull, Sebastian, Deuce, Attitude, keri hilson, Dev, Lelika Anderson, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars at 20 12. Missy elliott, Chris Brown, Rekapus, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Demirleau Watto will appear on this album.

Controversy and Interpretation of the Song Apologize

Many fans in China still don't know whose song Apology is: Timbaland? Or OneRepublic? Obviously, some fans who are in contact with these two artists (groups) for the first time have some misunderstandings.

Then let's explain here: the originality and singing of "Apology" is the representative work of OneRepublic, an upstart American rock. When the band was still unknown, the lead singer RyanTedder wrote this song, which was played and accompanied by other members, such as the cello performance of member BrentKurzle. Later, after many twists and turns, the music producer "Big Brother" Timbaland discovered this talented band and named it ——MosleyMusicGroup. At the same time, Tim also likes the songs of OneRepublic very much, so he carefully produced a remix version and included it in his album ShockValue, which made OneRepublic an instant hit and apologized and began to win the top spot in the charts of various countries. Later, OneRepublic, as an artist of MosleyMusicGroup, released the first album "DreamingOutLoud", and specially added two versions of "Apologize": the original version made by the band and the special remix version of Tim (the so-called "TimbalandFeat". "OneRepublic" version, which most people heard on the radio).

Album introduction

At the end of 2009, Timbaland released his new book Shocking Value 2.

From the title of this album, we can see that he continues the musical style of "ShockValue" and leads a group of stars to continue his musical myth. The difference is that many changes have taken place in the collaborators, including not only old names like JustinTimberlake, NellyFurtado, KeriHilson and OneRepublic, but also loud new names like MileyCyrus, KatyPerry, Daughtry and newcomer SoShy.

The first single MorningAfterDark shocked the global charts as soon as it came out, and its music video tells a magical story with Twilight as the background. This song has been a success on the radio and in large-scale awards ceremony. Two singles, SaySomething, CarryOut, IfWeEverMeetAgain, TomorrowIntheBottle, WeBelongtotheMusic, and even the remixed version of the new song Marchin 'On by the rock band OneRepublic, which I personally helped, have been well received by fans.

The song list of "ShockValue2" leaked at the beginning of 2009 is full of fakes, such as "Talk with T-Pain and MissyElliott", which is probably the reason why Timbo has repeatedly postponed the release date of the album.
