Tim's Bio

缔造妮莉费塔朵与贾斯汀两人音乐事业第一支冠军作品的幕后推手 1998年跃入全美专辑榜TOP41+获颁金唱片个人首张大作 请到蜜西艾莉特、路达克里斯、艾莉亚、杰斯…等巨星合作 从创作才女摇身一变火辣靓女，缔造Nelly Furtado/妮莉费塔朵音乐事业第一支冠军单曲“Promiscuous”；从偶像团体变身成熟性感型男，夺下Justin Timberlake/贾斯汀个人单飞第一支冠军作品“Sexy Back”；他们的幕后推手都是这位黑人大块头Timbaland，Nelly Furtado协同Justin感恩回馈与Timbaland三人快乐和鸣的“Give It To Me”，又再次双双夺下英美两地排行冠军。 已在乐坛打滚十余年，Timbaland受到嘻哈界同大只‘重’量级人物Missy Elliott/蜜西艾莉特提拔，开始在乐坛中活跃，从事幕后制作/撰写工作，与饶舌歌手兼工作伙伴Magoo以二人组型式推出过三张专辑，却都没有太出色的成绩，虽然Timbaland的名字时常出现在一些知名歌手的合作名单中，似乎都是呈现很忙碌有点红，但又没有顶红的状况。 1997年就已和好兄弟Magoo共同推出过首张专辑『Welcome To Our World』，但是创作力旺盛的Timbaland，翌年打铁趁热的端出个人首张大作【Tim’s Bio】，得到全美专辑榜Top41，获颁金唱片一枚。有着纽约街头诗人之称的东岸饶舌高手Nas，以他霸气十足的说唱调性助阵于“To My”之中；Timbaland协同蜜西艾莉特与Magoo三人，特别在“Here We Come”重拾昔日之情携手合作；浓厚放克音符包裹之“Lobster & Scrimp”，请到东岸饶舌界天王Jay-Z/杰斯帮腔；当时还是位新人准备问世个人专辑的Ludacris/路达克里斯，现已成为天王天后们极力邀请与之合作的对象，“Fat Rabbit”有他精湛饶舌技艺；被赞誉将嘻哈音乐传奇延续传承下去的接班人Twista，秀出一口快嘴饶舌功力于“Who Am I”里头；永远的节奏蓝调小公主Aaliyah/艾莉亚，留下生前最动人之音在“John Blaze”中。此张专辑提供Timbaland完全发挥玩乐的空间，与之合作的歌手，在现今歌坛中都已是赫赫有名的巨星级人物，更可窥见这群人马的不凡身手。 Timbaland, the producer most responsible for the sound of hip-hop circa the late '90s, finally released his proper solo debut (after a 1997 LP recorded as Timbaland & Magoo) in late 1998. It's not quite the personal statement implied in the title, but it is full of excellent productions. He spoofs the hip-hop fad of sampling '80s pop by rewiring familiar themes, like those of Spiderman and I Dream of Jeanie, into barely recognizable forms. Timbaland regulars like Missy Elliott and Magoo contribute tracks, though the best songs here feature multi-platinum rappers like Nas ("To My") and Jay-Z ("Lobster & Scrimp"). Though his trademark style of stuttered beats and obtuse samples is probably best witnessed on singles by Missy Elliott and Aaliyah, Tim's Bio is a solid introduction to the talents of hip-hop's best young producer of the late '90s.
