Editorial Reviews

Praised by knob twiddlers around the globe for his schizophrenic, digitalized, genre-bending soundscapes that were first heard on Ginuwine's "Pony" in 1996, Timbaland could be expected to employ the same hit-making formula, right? Well, yes and no. On Timbaland's third release with rhyme collaborator Magoo, his drum programming and beat structures continue their funkified, futuristic trajectories on "Humin," an ode to club hoppers who forget to use their Listerine, and "People Like Myself," with its off-kilter Middle Eastern samples. However, the jury's been out on the nasal-toned, Q-Tip-sound-alike Magoo since 1998's Tim's Bio, and Tim's commitment to introduce a retooled Magoo to the rap public's jaded consciousness is part of the problem with this release. As the featured emcee on a large bulk of the tracks, Magoo's mic skills get outclassed most of the time by guests like Jay-Z and Tung Twista on "Party People" and Ludacris on "Considerate Brother."

Magoo's shortcomings notwithstanding, Indecent Proposal is a must purchase for many reasons. It provides contemporary beatmakers with some more lessons in futuristic beat construction (peep "Indian Carpet"); there's a hot collaboration featuring singer-songwriter Beck in a duet with the late Aaliyah ("I'm Music"), and more lovely ballads by Aaliyah ("Love Me"). Lastly, Tim claims that he will not be releasing any more albums after this one so here's your chance to cop the last full-length recording from one of the most eclectic producers in the contemporary rap and R&B game. --Dalton Higgins

5.0 out of 5 stars A proposal no Hip-Hop fan can turn down!, November 20, 2001

This review is from: Indecent Proposal (Audio CD)

This new one from timbaland and magoo is the best cd that they did out of the three they have done so far. Every beat on this cd is T.I.G.H.T! and I couldnt skip not one track on this cd. The funny thing is that he made this cd so long ago but yet the beats sound so far ahead of some people that are out now and brings a whole new sound again. Let me break down the tight tracks for you:

Drop -- This is a club song that starts out with a hip-hop beat and ends the rest of the song in a club beat. A good way to start off the album. This should be a single. The best I have ever heard timbaland flow.

ALl Y'all --- This has a tight hip-hop beat with a midtempo flow. It sounds different with the chinese chimes and different instruments in the background with tim and magoo flowing over it. Tweet tops it off with the smooth R+B vocals. (Tweet is another singer to watch out for)

Its Your Night - This has a mid-tempo club flow about taking it easy and just enjoying yourself. I like the flow of this track. For some reason magoo sounds like snoop dogg on this and sin sounds like a biggie imitation but the track is still good.

Indian Carpet - This track has a climatic flow on it with piano playing and gregorian chanting in the background. Another track where tim and magoo gets to flow a lil more.

Party People -- This one has a hard bouncy Hip-hop beat with jay-z giving anthoer one of his best flows. reminds me of jigga what --jigga who a lil bit but tight track. I could see this as another single. They all give some of their best flows on the cd on this track.

People Like Myself -- This track has a indian beat with a hard hip-hop base line.....very different. Once again showing how tim can swicth it up. maggo gets to shine more on this track.

Roll Out --- Petey Pablo gets to shine again on another hip-hop country beat that will have your head nodding. All the different sounds in this will take a whiel to pick up but once you do you cant help but to think...."tim is really on a different level". tight!

Love Me -- Petey Pablo and Tweet come back for a tight slow jam on this one that sounds very futuristic but laid back and smooth at the same time.

I am Music -- Here we get to hear Aaliyah(aka "babygirl") sing on another hot song from tim again. She sounds real good singing with static here. The track has a tight slow jam with a Hip-hop beat to it.

Overall this whole album is tight. I only mentioned the ones that really stand out but trust me when I say everythign is good here. Fans of Tim(like myself) will really enjoy this cd. Even non-fans should check this one out. This is a party album mixed in with a few slow jams but overall the vibe is upbeat. It has a flow like their previous albums but to me this one comes together the best overall. What else can I say about this except to just pick it up A.S.A.P. Its all about the beats and sounds here and one genius producer with partner in crime to show you how its done.

Get It!

This CD is so dope. I'm a huge fan of Timbaland's music and his productions, but since I haven't heard his entire first album, I can't do any comparison. but I DO have this one, and I do like it. there are hot club tracks with him and magoo, but there are also some good slow songs on there that showcase other's talents. I like this piece, it's dope.

This album is off the chain. I been down w/ Timbaland since his 1st record and this album proves why Im stickin w/ him. Im a music producer n this record aint nothin but ear candy both instrumental and lyrical wise. Nowadayz its hard 2 find legit producers who keep me either bouncin or bobbin my head constantly. Timbo does his job 100% bringin out full potential on every track. U should def. cop this record if u in2 pushin the lines of hip hop music 2day n lookin 4 a new sound.
