4.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Production Is The Focus (4 Stars), October 7, 2004

When cats like Timbaland drop an album, you pretty much know already that the focus is on the beats instead of the rhymes. And I have to say that the beats on this album were some of the tightest out at the time. I want to say that Tim is the best producer to ever come out of Virginia, but The Neptunes are running neck and neck with Mr. Mosley (with Nottz holding down 3rd place). The guest appearances are even tight. There are a lot of no names on this album along with the usual suspects like Jay Z, Missy, Magoo, Nas, Aaliyah, Skillz (aka Mad Skillz)Ginuwine, and Ludacris (this was actually my first time ever hearing of Ludacris). Even Twista comes through and tears a Timbaland beat to shreds. There really aren't any negative things to be said about this album. Even the no name artists hold down their positions very well.

Basically, this album is a showcase for Tim's beats. We all know this. And the beats on this album don't disappoint. It's a great addition to your collection and still bumps even today. Tim has changed up his production schemes since this release, but this is still some of his best stuff. I'd suggest getting this album if you haven't heard it already.

Standout Tracks: Lobster & Scrimp feat. Jay Z, Fat Rabbit feat. Ludacris, Here We Come feat. Missy & Magoo, Who Am I feat. Twista (My Favorite), To My feat. Nas & Mad Skillz, and Bringin' It

5.0 out of 5 stars He's the man... they call Timbaland!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tim's Bio: Life From Da Bassment (Audio CD)

After listening through hip-hop's mainstream, you hear tracks from the innovative DJ Premier, the Trackmasters, & No Limit's Beats By The POund. We look into the deep depths of the dirty south in southern Virginia and we find Tim Mosley (a.k.a. Timbaland). With many hits tied behind his belt including Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody?", SWV's "Can We", and even Jay-Z's "Nigga What? Nigga Who?", Tim has kept a low profile and is the most popular beat maker of hip-hop today. His first effort (which is really a compilation produced by him) is the best of his work. With the hardcore elements of the album (i.e. "To My" featuring Nas & Mad Skillz, "Who Am I?" featuring Twista, and "Fat Rabbit" performed by Ludichris)along with a taste of rhythm & blues (i.e. "Keep It Real" by Ginuwine, "Happy Birthday" by Playa, and "Talking On The Phone" by Kelly Price), Tim stays true to his unique sounds and banging beats. This album is a definite jeep-rocker and is good at parties. It also has numerous guest appearances by such artists as Jay-Z, Magoo, Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, Nas, & Twista. He also introduces to the world a new group called 1 Life 2 Live and a new female MC, Bassey. Timbo's vocal presence may not be present much on the album, but his bangin' beats make up for it. This is a must for the beat bangin' production freaks out there. Timbaland is an inspiration to many and has created a new sound for the new millenium.

5.0 out of 5 stars this really is a soundtrack, not timbalands solo cd, October 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tim's Bio: Life From Da Bassment (Audio CD)

this really is a soundtrack, and not a solo cd. my favorite song and the only song worthy or buying this cd for is mocha's solo "what you know about this" (featuring Baby Blue & Timbaland). Mocha is da bomb and i can't wait for her solo joint to drop. ya heard
