Timbaland gave us so many hits in the 2000s. He and Nelly Furtado were another amazing duo.

[@followthebluebutterfly]

I never thought i'd like any of her future albums more than her debut, but they both brought out the best in each other. ' Loose ' was pure magic. I hope they one day reconcile their differences because their music positively impacted so many in numerous ways . As for Jtusin and Tim, they both are the definition of pure musicianship.

[@ge8198]

What people forget is that JT was overrated as a solo artist and constantly manufactured drama from his breakup with Britney Spears to remain relevant.

[@talon3684]

@@ge8198 This is a massive L take. You respectfully couldn't be more wrong. I grew up on all of that as a teenager and was deep in that pop music movement, MTV's TRL and everything revolving around it as a big *NSYNC & Britney fan. *NSYNC quickly became superstars and Justin was the most popular of the guys. His solo album was highly anticipated after the group's 3rd album Celebrity and announcing that they were taking a break. Justin around that time of making his first album had just broke up with Britney and when Justified was released, Cry Me A River was an absolute smash. Justin had even brought the song to Britney before the album worldwide release to listen to it and ask if it was okay to put it out there. That is a tidbit that is not often repeated 20+ years later. But by no means did he need to manufacture anything to be relevant. The guy proved to be massively talented and charismatic. That take is completely made up and spoken out of pure nonsense. Justin was the IT guy for a pop generation of music that was absolutely massive in the late 90s. *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Britney dominated the pop charts. Media couldn't get enough of them.

[@OmarFW]

Pop music has had it's creativity snuffed out by profit motive and labels that refuse to take risks. Good music is still being made but it's in the indie or small label space. People like Machinedrum, sam gellaitry, mag.lo, and ginger root are incredibly creative and talented but nowhere near as popular as they deserve to be. Back in the day they would have received the attention they deserve.

That sound people say timbaland started actually came from Devante Swing of jodeci. That’s why songs like End of time with Beyoncé sound like jodeci songs. Not saying timbaland copied and paste but he took alot of elements from Devante swing who taught him how to use a sound board and make sounds. Devante swing discovered missy elliot, ginuwine, timbaland, static major, magoo, tweet and a lot of other producers and artists. They were all signed to his swing mob label and went by “da bassment cru”. He discovered them through auditions and associations and they all stayed in an apartment building he bought in Rochester, NY. He wanted them there so they could focus on the music and not be distracted by the city. They all had their own room with studio equipment 24/7. He taught some of them how to play instruments, he taught Tim how to use a soundboard, helped kissy’s singing group and she honed her writing skills there. They were there for a few years and some left because he wasn’t treating them write. He actually sent missy and her group home because there was so much drama with another girl group he has called sugah. Missy actually got along with them, her group members didn’t. Devante discovered sugah and they all made a demo for da bassment cru. Aaliyah heard one of the songs from sugah and that’s what made her choose timbaland and missy to work on her sophomore album one and a million. If you listen a lot of songs timb produce sound like jodeci songs. I wish they would give credit we’re it’s due. VA did not come up with that sound. Even teddy Riley (from VA) sound that Devante’s sound changed and brought in a whole new era of hip hop and rnb, and proof is in the pudding. Though they left Devante each artists was able to be successful, not because of hype or clout or any of that, but because their music was just that good. It pretty much defined the 2000s and oughts. Shame Devante swing wasn’t there for it but he was the one who created the sound.

One of my favorite things about Timbaland's music is how timeless it is. Most music sounds very much like the era it came from and you could place when it was made within a couple of years, just from hearing it. But Timbaland's music always just sounds like Timbaland. I can always identify when a song has been produced by Timbaland when I hear it because his signature is so strong, but there's no date on it. He's so innovative, yet consistent at the same time. No other producer stands out to me the way he does.

The feel like their special and unique bond over the years these two have has paid off, love these guys, growing up with these guys in my middle and high-school days, Justin and Tim’s music was an inspiration and their songs hit me in a great way, keep up your success gentlemen, you guys are way too good to stop☺.

[@s.n.2939]

All the collaborations of these talanted guys are awesome. Qualified sound, perfect singing, driving beats and that chemistry between the two of them are so fantastic! Thank Timbo and JT

[@CAROLGAMERLIFE]

Future/sex/love sounds is definitely one of my favorite albums of all times I love EVERY song in that album. Love this partnership it just feels so natural. Timbaland is unique.

[@sharayahsunshine11]

Me too. Future Sex/Love Sounds album is one of my favorites from that era. I remember getting it for my 22nd birthday along with a new car stereo. I blasted that album for months. Still a nostalgic album for me.

[@britt_britt777]

Same. Such a classic album!

[@j.o.5291]

I could watch 3 hours of this

[@wheelsondatrack3548]

Timbaland/Neptunes were the best thing to happen to Justin Timberlake they made classics together

[@alanwatts2076]

For anyone that knows popular music, what Justin says at 5:00 is 100% true. Sexy back and My Love brought EDM to the forefront of popular music and COMPLETELY changed the sound. I remember Sexy Back getting mixed reviews because it sounded soooo differently then what was popular at the time. Flash forward a year and everything had the EDM punch. As Justin said, it lasted for over a decade.

[@danielspinelli3662]

These two need to drop their new album already.. they’ve been teasing around in the studio for ages!

[@laurants]

The last one was kind of odd. The 2020 Vision's "Drink You Away" should have been saved for that last album. I just hope he plays to his age instead of making music for horny 23 year olds.

[@MrGenexxx]

@@laurants 40 year olds can be horny too

[@lee6704]

A song or two a day is absolutely insane for how big a footprint the songs made and how catchy the songs were.

[@sashalyles]

Justified is considered one of my favorite albums…start to finish

[@dolo9410]

Justin has always kept a fresh line up

[@dwe2a]

Timbaland has been one of the best talent developers in music history. His love for his art doesn't just stay with him. It inspires others, of multi generations to produce some of the best songs to lift you up and get you out of your seat! Great work. These two are a great collaboration.

[@silverrhode]

They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Iconic duo 🤩

[@jermaineflowers1538]

I like the approach they take with engaging the audience. Picking the right tempo, changing the rhythm to get a specific response during the course of a song.

[@goldenlifelove7251]

That 20/20 Experience album is still one of my favorites & one of the best albums ever imo! They made so much good music together!! I hope more is coming!

[@wespe1717]

i miss the time when this kind of music could be heard everywhere

[@Kamitube]

My first JT concert was Justified, second was Futuresex/Lovesound and Timbaland was surprise guest. One of the best days of my life. These two had such an impact on pop music, I'm glad I was there when it happened. We had so much fun learning and performing Justin's choreographies at dance contests. It was an era that inspired a lot of people to start dancing.

[@LuisMartinez-ut7vu]

Please give us another album! 🙏🏽

[@aellis7612]

What Justin said at the end about taking a break and coming back... The 20/20 Experience was a solid album all the way through

[@bunjiiit]

Include Nelly Furtado and it completes my entire teenage vibe. They made really eargasmic music. 😍

[@TheRib09]

I could honestly watch hours of a documentary covering all the songs they’ve done together. JT is my #1 artist for sure and Timbaland absolutely broke the glass ceiling to get him there. Legendary

[@JasonB95]

It's about time they collab again. We need their magic back on the radio.

[@Nancy2420s]

Amen to that! Lord Jesus save us.

[@daleseansimonse6149]

The respect these 2 have for each other. Unmatched!!!

[@simply_deja]

Blue Ocean Floor is that girl. So underrated and slept on!

[@lucky81970]

Idc what no one says.....these two are iconic together. My favorite producer artist combo in R&B for the 2000s-2010s

[@thehighmaintenancehippietarot]

Cry me a River is my 5yr olds fave song 🙌🏽

[@K717MOS]

PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM!!!!!!

[@argauw]

Cry Me River, What Goes Around and My Love are masterpieces and timeless. Mirrors is the most perfect song that i've ever heard until now and it has been 8 years?

[@linkinpark2380]

Seriously, they made such great music. I wanna go back to those times. Please release a new collab?! 🙏🏻

[@ksajak]

These 2 were absolutely amazing together!! Cry me a river and what goes around comes around are amazing!! Masterpieces! Esp the interlude/outro of what goes around comes around. Always loved the interlude/outro of that song its sooo good!

[@NamishBelbase]

Thank you for embellishing my childhood, my teenage days with such magical music! True Legends right there! Nothing but respect and love for you both...

[@SACHIV]

When TIMBALAND & TIMBERLAKE get together it's MAGICCCC!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@reneewinchester2758]

Can’t wait until we hear new music from you two. Best collaboration ever!

[@brandadse.1741]

This came out my hs graduation year and while I was into my screamo indie stuff, I still appreciated this album for its catchiness

[@Sara31186]

Love these two!❤️

[@will_sketch]

These guys make fire records together. The 20/20 Experience is truly one of my favorite albums. It's so sonically different and takes me to another place when its on.
