Timbaland "Shock Value 2" (Discussion Thread Only, no asking for inks)

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

Sub-par party tracks.... That's all that my mind is suggesting at this point...  C'mon Timbo I know u got writers...

A definite conclusion: Non-urban artists working with Timbo = Smoove formula.

lol, I started skpping tracks on the last song.  So I guess that was an okay album length.

Ok, I didn't look at any of the features, so the names didn't hype the tracks up for me.  And honesty none of the females stood out.  Keri Hilson sounded whack as hell.  The rap features were good aweful, not surprised to see Attitude and DOE the in-house leechers have some less than inspiring verses on here..

The beats are decent, above par for for a standard album.  The real thing goin on here is lack of lyrical content.  Some of the concepts are just so played out, which could work if done right, but for the most part they are written horribly and the melodies are just too conforming...

3/5, which is below expectations for this kind of release.

See ya in the AK thread.

i hope the homie Timbo (DMV STAND UP!!) goes back and does a hardcore hip hop record.  i know Tim ain't no gangsta rapper or ever has been but this Euro-pop shit is kinda wack.  homie could get some nice MC's on his records 4 once.  i mean i get tha audience he's goin' 4 but damn, gimme some hip hop

This album suffered from lackluster production and poor artistic decisions compared to the first one.  It feels like a demo version of Shock Value rather than Shock Value 2.  The auto-tune was indeed shocking as my ears were suffering everytime Timbaland used it.  The Drake reference track for Say Something was superior.  It all felt like a forced effort to get radioplay through the usage of autotune.   

I think his album with Chris Cornell was a commerical disappointment (and while feeling like futuresexlovesounds part 2) it was a step in the right direciton. 

timbaldans osund is gettings played out

he should have used chris cornells album as an example of what i wanted to hear from him... that album was a banger.... and i luv it when he switches up the beat at the end and then flows into the next track.... he should do an album like that with the majors in r&b like alicia keys, mjb, and mariah....i would luv to hear an album like that.... and an underground rap album.... ppl who would rip his beats apart..... krayzie bone did some awesome shit with timba tracks... check out his fixtapes....

Will be copping this tomorrow when it drops. I've only heard "Morning After Dark" and a snippet of "Say Something". Sounds aight but I miss Timbaland & Danja on the boards.

I've only heard "Morning After Dark" and a snippet of "Say Something".

After one listen, these two are the only good (decent) tracks
