Timbaland is one of the best musicians of our life-time.
In the late 90's he and Aaliyah worked together and merged RnB and hip hop, and that sound dominated for the following 5-10 years.
Then in the mid-00's, he and Nelly Furtado merged hip hop and dance music, and now that sound is dominating completely, and has paved the way for artists such as Lady Gaga and Ke$ha to have success.
I'm interested to see how Timbaland and Keri Hilson revolutionize music this time around.
If this album is anything like Loose, it'll be fantastic. After the success that Adele has had this year, I have hope of Timbaland getting successful in the mainstream again. And, to be fair, it was only a year ago that Carry Out was slaying in the US and If We Ever Meet Again was slaying in the UK.
