Song writer or beat maker…

Posted April 14, 2008 by JohnJohn



Timbaland was named ASCAP’s songwriter of the year. I’ve always respected Timbaland as one of the premier producers of our time, but as a song writer I can’t really see him winning this award. I ain’t hatin’ but I ain’t congratulating either. I believe an artist should be judged on their body of work. Can you name 5 great songs off the top of your head that Timbaland has written….exactly!


What does this say about the current state of music and song writing….is Timbaland that good or are today’s songs that bad?


PS: Whats up with the 50 Cent tank top…and the baby oil.

    He ain’t a song writer. He can’t sing. He can’t rap and all his beats sound the same.

    I feel you on that John-John. Timbaland is tight with beat production, but there are some phenomenal talents in the songwriting industry, and that just doesn’t sit right with me. If a beat is an instrumental, it’s considered a song. If it’s behind a verse, it continues to just be a beat. All bullsh!t aside, without Missy in front of his tracks, his music really isn’t too appealing to me. I think she brought Timbaland’s music to the forefront. Not that he wasn’t talented, her vibe just meshed perfect with his music.

    AD you brought a good point…I’m really concerned with the state of music…it sounds like ASCAP is just trying to appeal to a younger pop culture…I can think of at least 10 song writers in different genres that wrote better songs this year.

    Oyea….that baby oil is just ridiculous :-)

    I think he really wants to be 50 Cent.

    Here’s a link to a guy who rates producers (as far as beats go) and Timbaland AKA Baby Oil Blues didn’t even make it in his top 10… How the HELL did he get TOP SONGWRITER!!!
