Just Blaze - trying to be the new Timbaland ??

(1/5) > >>

Jome:
Is it just me, or is Just Blaze going in Timbos footsteps a little too much??

* Producing for Jay-Z & The ROC
* Same type of futuristic club-hits, with many similar patterns, and some times near stealing Timbo's drum-patterns.
* Copying Pastor Troy's Timbaland-produced "Are we cuttin" on Freeways "Flipside" track
* Using Timbalands trademark synth-effects all the time..

Dont get me wrong, he's pretty dope, but Timbaland seems to be his big inspiration..

ZILLA THA GOODFELLA:
It's a classic "Everbody wanna be like Mike" situation......

KVB:
I don't think Just Blaze's style sounds anything like Timbalands. I can clearly seperate the two's beats, but I think Just is a little more innovative. I can identify a Timbaland-beat as soon as I hear it without having read the credits. The same can't be said about Just Blaze.

Just is Roc-A-Fella's in-house producer, naturally he works a lot for them - Timbaland, on the other hand is just a good industry friend of Jay-Z, and therefore they work a lot together - you don't see Timbo work much with the Roc-A-Fella camp apart from Jay-Z.

Some of their beats may sound similar, but I don't think you can accuse Just Blaze of stealing Timbo's style, if anything, there are bigger contenders for that title than Just Blaze. I didn't know "Flipside" was a copy of a Timbaland beat... a shame though, I thought that was the illest beat and song on Freeway's CD... but beat biting has happened before.

Example: the Rockwilder produced "Release Date" on Xzibit's last LP was almost a straight jack of Mobb Deep's "Quiet Storm" (produced by Havoc) Just Blaze ain't the only one copying beats.

I think he is one of the best producers in the game right now. He may sample a lot, but when it all comes down to it not many producers can create beats as dope as him.

Agua:
I like Just Blaze, but he's far from bein a new Timbo.

word.  IMO Just Blaze has more variety in his beats than Timbo.
