Timbaland Indecent Proposal CD - Import

As a producer, Timbaland has provided cutting-edge tracks not only for every hip-hop ace in the book, but for pop icons such as Janet Jackson as well. When he teams with Magoo, though, the pair offers up an individualistic approach to hip-hop that eschews gritty, thug-life scenarios for mercurial stylistic shifts, audio wizardry, and linguistic virtuosity. On INDECENT PROPOSAL, the duo is joined by a variety of impressive guests, including Jay-Z, Twista, and Ludacris, but a great deal of emphasis is placed on the contributions of Petey Pablo, who appears on five of the album's cuts. Pablo's forceful, urgent style adds just the right amount of edge to Timbaland & Magoo's highly developed skills. And of course, the highly distinctive beats and production courtesy of hip-hop's most-admired studio wizard take the whole thing to another level.

Spin (4/01, pp.154,156) - 7 out of 10 - "...Timbo's done everything right: downplayed his Jenkins-jerked, Neptunes-nipped, Eminem-pathed 'tchikka-tchikka' skitter, raised up a wall of Dr. Dre-worthy analog-to-diggity, party-fied the mix everywhere he can, and the let the beat drop. It makes songs sound great..."
