This album is so innovative and precisely produced. With beats provided by Mozart Timadeas (my favorite producer), vocals by Magoo, Missy, Playa, Ginuwine, Aaliyah, this album is a 5 out of 5. At first listen you'll be like what the heck is this, but for sure after the first listen of the whole album you'll be hooked to it. From the first track to the last. You have hip hop and R&B throughout this entire album. When you listen to the album you will notice that they were ahead of their time. After listening to the album I thought, damn, "These cats were on some tight stuff back in '97", and indeed they were. I am telling you this is one of the most creative albums ever. There is a track on the album where Timbaland just talks over the beat and you actually rock to it. I love the whole album, but my favorite tracks are Luv 2 Luv U ( both versions ), Up Jumps The Boogie ( both versions ), Joy, Man Undercover, Clock Strikes. I am a true Timbaland fan, I am down with him and the whole click, holla at ya boy!

I love the combination of Tim's deep, robot-ish voice and Magoo's higher, cartoon-character voice. With both of them, plus Missy and other guests, it never gets boring. The lyrical references are clever ("Help, I see a Beatle, Cool out, it's only Ringo") and sometimes obscure, which I like. And of course the beats are phenomenal! Tim is the master. It took me a while to realize this, as I'd heard "Clock Strikes" quite a bit without really paying close attention. But then I heard some other songs, notably "Luv 2 Luv U (Remix)", and I was hooked. It's just so smooth and catchy, yet quirky and totally unique. I think Timbaland is what people always say Puffy is -- a visionary producer whose style seems to have invaded the genre with all the imitators who have popped up after him. But unlike Puffy, Tim has this certain something that makes me want to listen to his stuff non-stop, even when it's sung by artists I previously had no interest in (e.g., Aaliyah). Plus, he's got his own style and charisma. Timbaland rules.

Not only does this cd have beats, but magoo has some lyrics you cant mess with. Bomb flow, and the lyrical contect just cant be comprimised or compared. Up Jumps Da Boogie will always be one of my fav. songs of all time.

With the combination of Timbaland's choppy, slow-down-speed-up lyrics, and magoo's smooth high pitched sounds, this album is a sure shot winner. It's phat beat's and guest appearances by Shaunta, Ginuwine, Playa, Alleiya, and Missy Elliot, only make the album that much better. I heard Timbaland produce song for Missy, and I was instantly hooked.

Great CD It arrived earlier than expected and in the condition advertised. It skips at certain points but I expected that. But, overall this is a good product.

I used to own this cd when it first came out but lost it. Therefore, I finally got around to ordering it here on Amazon because one can no longer buy this album in the stores for some reason. This album is great from start to finish. Everyone knows Timbo and Magoo were a duo that turned the music industry around and gave it a new sound. I definitely recommend true music lovers to have this album in their collection.

I remember this album when I was in the 5th grade. I love this album! The beats always make my head nod. Fresh and utterly original, this album is defined by its decidedly back-to-the-future hip hop approach. While running light on samples, Tim concentrates on pushing the artistic envelope through experimental beats that effectively craft an identity for American-made electronic music. Within that buoyant and fluid framework is an atmosphere perfectly suited to the freestyle rhyming of Magoo & company. Tim's early work as a DJ is perfectly reflected in the album's mix of moods, styles and personnel. They created in an atmosphere free of pre-conceived limits and stylistic boundaries. This album has been certified Platinum. Remember, this was 1997.

This cd is one of the best cd's I've ever heard. Timbaland's beats cant be replaced, magoo's gritty voice and timabland's hooks are great together. Mix in ginuine, missy, playa, and aaliyah...and the album is complete. My favorite songs are Man Undercover (by Aaliyah), Up jumps the Boogie Remix, Smoke In The Air (Playa) and Joy (Playa and Ginuwine.) This album is definitly worth your money. I love it!!!!!!!!

I'm not that big on Timbaland as a rapper but this CD is pretty cool. It has a variety of people Like Aaliyah, Missy Elliot and Ginuwine featured in the songs. Luv 2 luv u, Man undercover & Writin Rhymes are some phat cuts

maybe we mitt get to know each over one day but beleave me its hot.
