This is Legendary 💎 Proud of you all for this one and all the knowledge and support you give to the community 💪🏾💎🏆
-
Producers from his era didn’t need tags because they all had unique sounds. Today everyone sounds like each other so a tag is necessary.
-
What I love about Tim is that he didn't just producer records for other people he also had world class records of his own. definitely a Super Producer
-
This is a whole new level of greatness for the podcast!!!! Let's go!!!!!
-
He could charge 300-500k a beat because that song would end up in the top 10. Like literally Grammy winning beats. Producers now don’t have that type of talent to make a beat that would guarantee you a top 10 spot. That’s when you’re a super producer. Timbaland is a super producer.
-
Timbaland has consistently had his finger print in chart topping music since the mid to late 90s he's responsible for the futuristic sonic change of sound in the late 90s, the success of soo many artists careers and too many other things to mention he deserves his flowers💐 now!!
-
Timbo is my main source of inspiration TILL THIS DAY
-
Back in the day when i wanted to produce like Timbo and dance like Timberlake in the same time 😂😂😂 thanks for the inspiration Legend
-
He’s dropping gems in the first 4 minutes! Had me ready to get back to work. I’m learning to produce edm, but no matter the genre his gems apply
-
Bro who’s next, Dr Dre ?😂
-
As a producer I relate to almost everything Timbaland said, the reusing a sample, and drums to make something completely different, people expecting you to make the same type beats lol, he dropping knowledge
-
I can feel his love for music through the screen makes me want to make 100 beats a day
-
glad to see dylan back bro💯💯💯
-
Man, thank you to @ProducerGrind for having Timbo on the show. I have been a long time fan and grew up in the generation he debut in, and even I didn't know about his servere injury from an attack. We almost never HAD a Timbo!! Him overcoming that and the way he expressed his purpose and drive afterwards brought me to tears, and that's hard to do. This video has helped me today, thank you to the entire PG team and Producer community!
-
Good to see Dylan back on the pod 🔥🙏
-
Always hitting home with the advice 💥💥💥💥
-
I set a notification for this interview and I finally get to listen! Let’s get it!!!
-
this was a mad inspirational interview and the Nft part gold man. Good job✌🏽⭐
-
Dylan coming back for this one is crazy! Need to. Timbaland is one of the best ever. Kanye had a crazy story about him on Lex Fridmans podcast. Said he mixed something muddy and nobody could fix it aside from Timbaland
-
thanks for the Interview!
