To go more in depth: without Timbaland, you have no FutureSex/LoveSounds as we know it and no Loose, not to mention no "The Way I Are". Without these you have, by extension, no Blackout, no "Poker Face", no 2008-2012 "dance trend" as we knew it in my opinion. Timbaland was huge in establishing that sound and transitioning mainstream radio to dance. Plus "Promiscuous" and "The Way I Are" together are superior to every post-2007 pop career out there.
Danja was a huge player in the last wave of pop trends, too, especially with his work on Blackout.
