A video comparing original composer Janne Suni's track to Timbaland and Furtado's is available on YouTube.
- This link is now invalid, as the user has retracted the video. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.9.140.105 ( talk) 12:33, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
Its not entirely false. Timbaland is planning to do something with the WWE Divas in his next video. and he is also going to sign some kind of deal with the WWE.

Is this the same Timbaland did a remix of Nelly Furtado's single "Turn Off the Light" from the "Whoa Nelly" album. He's credited on the CD single, so had worked with Nelly before. This isn't mentioned either on this page, or on Nelly's page.

As you can see in the history, user Timbachick seems dead set to remove the Plagiarism controversy paragraph. What are the circumstances for an user/ip ban? On a sidenote, if her claims are true and she IS an intern for Timbaland, would that mean that THIS is an official action by Timbaland? Could it be that Timbaland is actively removing information about all this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.122.59.104 ( talk) 01:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

“Timbaland is similar to producers such as Phil Spector, Brian Eno, or Norman Whitfield in that he helped to redefine the sound of an entire genre of music with an immediately recognizable production style.” --- I removed this ridiculous comparison from the opening of the article as it has no basis in reality. It was clearly written as a stretch to cram a flavor of the month producer into the pantheon of the greats; and is hardly neutral. Sorry, but comparing the inventor of the “Wall of Sound” technique that created some of the most memorable pop symphonies of the ‘60s, the pioneer of the legendary Motown sound, and the reigning king of sonic soundscapes to a guy who fucks around in ProTools until he comes up with “beats” is nothing short of offensive. Unless somebody can cite a credible source to somehow draw this insane comparison, I will continue to delete it anytime some idiot posts it.
At least cite a credible source, or make a reasonable argument as to how this is any more than mere opinion. Also, someone please explain to me how my reasonable argument for the removal of the phrase shouldn't be given precedence (or at least equal consideration) over a guy who just spelled "ignorant" as "ign'ant" on a website that supposedly prides itself on accuracy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.103.91.207 ( talk) 05:30, 30 April 2007(UTC).
This part of the article is far from neutral - most of the article is not neutral - but this is making a comparison with two undoubted geniuses based on two single reviews. Two reviews do not make the equivalent of a genius. I have edited this out. Robojam 05:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
And now you know why Wikipedia isn't taken seriously: people with axes to grind who substitute their opinions for verifiable facts, but still claim - falsely - that they're not engaging in 'original research.'

PITCHFORK MEDIA?! There goes Wikipedia's credibility. If this page had any.
I don't know much about either Bjork or Timbaland, but someone recently told me that Timbaland is producing or has produced Bjork's latest album. I thought that this was VERY strange considering that they make vastly different kinds of music...has anyone else heard or read about this? If true, perhaps this warrants a mention in the article? -- WassermannNYC 12:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I've failed this article for GA status. The biggest problem is that the article needs references and citations for its content. There are problems with original research in analyzing his style, and I don't see any citations for the quotations. The Plagiarism controversy section is not in chronological order; it also needs to be expanded because two sentences simply is not enough to summarize the 2007 Timbaland plagiarism controversy article. Lone years should not be linked. The After Swing Mob: 1995 - 1996 is too short. Also, the song titles in the Rivalry with Scott Storch section shouldn't be bolded. ShadowHalo 04:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
This section needs some massive clean-up and referencing. Take a look at Scott Storch's page for a better example of what this should look like. I went ahead and found a couple references about both Timbaland Presents Shock Value (the latter) and the beef (both):
Check them out and let's clean this section up. Then let's get it promoted! Rockstar915 04:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
is there a reason for there being two sections on Timbaland's singles? The sections are almost identical, although there is one additional track named in the second. Also the chart position of the track 'Give It To Me' is different in the two lists. Does anybody know which is correct? thanks Zero187 16:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
The right wing is attacking Timbaland and Hillary Clinton after she attended a fundraiser for the rap producer. Not to mention that Timbaland has not responded to the accusations of the Focus On Family, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, and Rush Limbaugh right wing machine. I'm sorry, I support decisions but for the right wing to attack on a person who had nothing to do in the political field is totally ludicrous...not Ludacris. LILVOKA 20:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Does Timbaland actually sing in that song? I listened to it and did not hear him. It may be worth mentioning in its article. – thedemonhog talk • edits • box 02:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
added by 71.9.8.150 ( talk) at 6:07 on November 14, 2007 (UTC).
Er, yes. I believe that's what was mentioned. The fact remains, he does not actually perform on the track, did not sing it, does not play any instrument, did not write a note of it, and, contrary to myth, did not produce the song. To "produce" the song would have meant he had a hand in the recording of the master tracks. He didn't. He remixed EXISTING tracks. This is made quite clear in the liner notes to the song's release, on both the single and LP. So no, Timbaland really can't justify any credit for that song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.9.8.150 ( talk) 19:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Tim has a son Frankie. He brought Frankie onstage @ Z100 Jingle concert. Read and watch here. Add this to the personal section. Also , I think the personal section should be moved up to his bio, not thrown under the 2006 section. From "after swing mob" on needs to be under 'career' section. 70.108.56.92 ( talk) 05:52, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Is the line “Some critics consider Timbaland the most influential pop music producer since Phil Spector,” allowed in the lead? Source is [1].
Yes, include it but also add another source to evidence it's not just one critic's opinion. The statement hardly prevent other bios from having the exact same statement and my opinion would change somewhat if this was a list of top music producers, but it's not. We write bios in relation and considerate of the subject, not to spare the dented egos of everyone else who this wasn't said in relation to. Benji boi 20:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
"If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it."
First of all, please don't try to hide your edit war behind this. As has been explained to you before, this is to be used in exceptional circumstances, of which this is most certainly not one. It can only be used where a rule prevents you from improving wikipedia; what you are trying to do is not an imporvement, and as such, WP:IAR does not apply. Furthermore, if you really want to play such games, your edits can subsequently be reverted, also under IAR, this time by ignoring the IAR policy. Perhaps before you go justifying everything using IAR, you should understand what it means, particularly the section on what it does not mean. Perhaps you could justify how your edits will "improve the encyclopedia". Nouse4aname ( talk) 09:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

The interesting thing about Timbaland is his style of music and rythm. You can always recognize a Timbaland heavy beat in any song. Not too diverse but still very catchy and unique....
Timbal is ancient african instrument. The brazilian group Timbalada uses heavily it.

"My pony" seems to be in waltz time. Like Jimi Hendrix's Manic Depression. So: What's Timbaland's musical education? Is it exposure to three-four time in Florida, or is it Strauss?

The article as it was was in dire need of attention. It was full of peacock terms and clutter. Heck, it still is.

I know it is not really of great importance, but it is quite probable that Timbaland is a Christian making Holy Hip Hop and wearing a crucifix, isn't it? Thanks for your answers! -- Jesuit222 ( talk) 23:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC) I am unable to provide a sufficiently deranged answer to match the tone of your question, so this will have to suffice: Timbaland makes completely commercial rap devoid of any dominant message, theme, or purpose. 216.96.231.60 ( talk) 16:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
There is no way this should be a "good article" if there is an eight year gap in its coverage. Outside of the lead, collaborations with Ginuwine and Aaliyah are barely mentioned, there is no discussion of the early Missy Elliott.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Timbaland's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

In the beginning of the article there are two problematic sentences:
"From birth he was diagnosed with a severe Tourettes Syndrome.[citation needed] Even in early life he showed very little aptitude for music, this has been said to have greatly influenced his avant-garde style in his later music career."
Is the "Even in early life...this has been said to have greatly influenced his avant-garde style in his later music career" supposed to be in jest? As if the disease actually helped him? Not sure where to start here, but his music is also definitely not avante-garde.
Also it would fit in the article if he showed A LOT of aptitude for music, not "very little" as it says in article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.57.164 ( talk) 03:00, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
He is currently invested and working with Open Labs, yet there is no mention of this project in the article? Could this please be fixed
"Timbaland said in a statement that he has been using Open Labs’ technology for years and wanted to invest in the vision to bring “music creation to the masses.” Open Labs has signed deals with Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Intel, and this round of $500,000 will help the company add more customers and continue growing StageLight.

“Timbaland is similar to producers such as Phil Spector, Brian Eno, or Norman Whitfield in that he helped to redefine the sound of an entire genre of music with an immediately recognizable production style.” --- I removed this ridiculous comparison from the opening of the article as it has no basis in reality. It was clearly written as a stretch to cram a flavor of the month producer into the pantheon of the greats; and is hardly neutral. Sorry, but comparing the inventor of the “Wall of Sound” technique that created some of the most memorable pop symphonies of the ‘60s, the pioneer of the legendary Motown sound, and the reigning king of sonic soundscapes to a guy who fucks around in ProTools until he comes up with “beats” is nothing short of offensive. Unless somebody can cite a credible source to somehow draw this insane comparison, I will continue to delete it anytime some idiot posts it.
At least cite a credible source, or make a reasonable argument as to how this is any more than mere opinion. Also, someone please explain to me how my reasonable argument for the removal of the phrase shouldn't be given precedence (or at least equal consideration) over a guy who just spelled "ignorant" as "ign'ant" on a website that supposedly prides itself on accuracy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.103.91.207 ( talk) 05:30, 30 April 2007(UTC).
This part of the article is far from neutral - most of the article is not neutral - but this is making a comparison with two undoubted geniuses based on two single reviews. Two reviews do not make the equivalent of a genius. I have edited this out. Robojam 05:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know much about either Bjork or Timbaland, but someone recently told me that Timbaland is producing or has produced Bjork's latest album. I thought that this was VERY strange considering that they make vastly different kinds of music...has anyone else heard or read about this? If true, perhaps this warrants a mention in the article? -- WassermannNYC 12:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I've failed this article for GA status. The biggest problem is that the article needs references and citations for its content. There are problems with original research in analyzing his style, and I don't see any citations for the quotations. The Plagiarism controversy section is not in chronological order; it also needs to be expanded because two sentences simply is not enough to summarize the 2007 Timbaland plagiarism controversy article. Lone years should not be linked. The After Swing Mob: 1995 - 1996 is too short. Also, the song titles in the Rivalry with Scott Storch section shouldn't be bolded. ShadowHalo 04:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
This section needs some massive clean-up and referencing. Take a look at Scott Storch's page for a better example of what this should look like. I went ahead and found a couple references about both Timbaland Presents Shock Value (the latter) and the beef (both):
Check them out and let's clean this section up. Then let's get it promoted! Rockstar915 04:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
is there a reason for there being two sections on Timbaland's singles? The sections are almost identical, although there is one additional track named in the second. Also the chart position of the track 'Give It To Me' is different in the two lists. Does anybody know which is correct? thanks Zero187 16:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
The right wing is attacking Timbaland and Hillary Clinton after she attended a fundraiser for the rap producer. Not to mention that Timbaland has not responded to the accusations of the Focus On Family, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, and Rush Limbaugh right wing machine. I'm sorry, I support decisions but for the right wing to attack on a person who had nothing to do in the political field is totally ludicrous...not Ludacris. LILVOKA 20:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Er, yes. I believe that's what was mentioned. The fact remains, he does not actually perform on the track, did not sing it, does not play any instrument, did not write a note of it, and, contrary to myth, did not produce the song. To "produce" the song would have meant he had a hand in the recording of the master tracks. He didn't. He remixed EXISTING tracks. This is made quite clear in the liner notes to the song's release, on both the single and LP. So no, Timbaland really can't justify any credit for that song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.9.8.150 ( talk) 19:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Tim has a son Frankie. He brought Frankie onstage @ Z100 Jingle concert. Read and watch here. Add this to the personal section.

Is the line “Some critics consider Timbaland the most influential pop music producer since Phil Spector,” allowed in the lead? Source is [1].
Yes, include it but also add another source to evidence it's not just one critic's opinion. The statement hardly prevent other bios from having the exact same statement and my opinion would change somewhat if this was a list of top music producers, but it's not. We write bios in relation and considerate of the subject, not to spare the dented egos of everyone else who this wasn't said in relation to. Benji boi 20:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
"If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it."
First of all, please don't try to hide your edit war behind this. As has been explained to you before, this is to be used in exceptional circumstances, of which this is most certainly not one. It can only be used where a rule prevents you from improving wikipedia; what you are trying to do is not an imporvement, and as such, WP:IAR does not apply. Furthermore, if you really want to play such games, your edits can subsequently be reverted, also under IAR, this time by ignoring the IAR policy. Perhaps before you go justifying everything using IAR, you should understand what it means, particularly the section on what it does not mean. Perhaps you could justify how your edits will "improve the encyclopedia". Nouse4aname ( talk) 09:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone know what Timbaland is referring to when he calls himself Kaiser Sensei in the intro to "Pony"?

The interesting thing about Timbaland is his style of music and rythm. You can always recognize a Timbaland heavy beat in any song. Not too diverse but still very catchy and unique....
Timbal is ancient african instrument. The brazilian group Timbalada uses heavily it.
how many songs has timbaland produced? should this be referenced?
I believe so. There's quite a bit of Songs missing from the list: Wonder'bout and Let Me give you my love are a few. --Sakamura

I see that the section was integrated in the 2006-07 section of the article by User:Andrewlp1991.

"My pony" seems to be in waltz time. Like Jimi Hendrix's Manic Depression. So: What's Timbaland's musical education? Is it exposure to three-four time in Florida, or is it Strauss?

The article as it was was in dire need of attention. It was full of peacock terms and clutter. Heck, it still is. I think the next step should be to reorganize what's left between “personal” and “professional”, and after that, to organize his work into tables or something like that. — NRen2k5( TALK), 07:24, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
I know it is not really of great importance, but it is quite probable that Timbaland is a Christian making Holy Hip Hop and wearing a crucifix, isn't it? Thanks for your answers! -- Jesuit222 ( talk) 23:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC) I am unable to provide a sufficiently deranged answer to match the tone of your question, so this will have to suffice: Timbaland makes completely commercial rap devoid of any dominant message, theme, or purpose. 216.96.231.60 ( talk) 16:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
There is no way this should be a "good article" if there is an eight year gap in its coverage. Outside of the lead, collaborations with Ginuwine and Aaliyah are barely mentioned, there is no discussion of the early Missy Elliott. Beyond that, the article as it stands now is awkwardly structured and poorly written. -- FuriousFreddy ( talk) 05:58, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Timbaland's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

In the beginning of the article there are two problematic sentences:
"From birth he was diagnosed with a severe Tourettes Syndrome.[citation needed] Even in early life he showed very little aptitude for music, this has been said to have greatly influenced his avant-garde style in his later music career."
Is the "Even in early life...this has been said to have greatly influenced his avant-garde style in his later music career" supposed to be in jest? As if the disease actually helped him? Not sure where to start here, but his music is also definitely not avante-garde.
Also it would fit in the article if he showed A LOT of aptitude for music, not "very little" as it says in article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.57.164 ( talk) 03:00, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
He is currently invested and working with Open Labs, yet there is no mention of this project in the article? Could this please be fixed
"Timbaland said in a statement that he has been using Open Labs’ technology for years and wanted to invest in the vision to bring “music creation to the masses.” Open Labs has signed deals with Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Intel, and this round of $500,000 will help the company add more customers and continue growing StageLight.

He also has invested with them this year.
Timbaland continues his 2013 series of investments with a major stake in music equipment and software maker Open Labs. Known for their expensive music equipment, Open Labs is currently focused on promoting a low-cost music making app called StageLight.
