That’s my worry I guess: that the music won’t be that good. That JT x Tim x Nelly song wasn’t good and neither was the NSYNC one. Timbaland contributions on MOTW wasn’t anything interesting either

Tim does look like he’s still capable of putting out rly great beats but no artist has really been able to get the best out of his work yet

It'll just be more promo at the end of the day. Should fade out by the time the album is coming around

Isn't the Britney stuff just the blaccent and he didn't wanna have a baby

And she’s alleging he cheated first

But really it’s all compounding into the initial bad PR with Janet and him s*** shaming her for years (imo deserved since she cheated on him)

Idk how reliable The Sun is but they’re saying he is gonna delay his comeback because of this memoir

I see what you're saying

Idk if that will cause problems with the new album especially cause he doesn't drop often

Not sure people will kill him for that

Plus if you really know your s***, Britney is not as innocent as she makes herself seem. Also the Janet s*** is pretty much dead at this point, people don't really care that much unless you're a heavy stan or somethin.

Obviously MOTW was bad but I feel JT started seeing the worst PR of his career during the promo for that and that definitely played a role in it tanking sales wise.

are Justin and Janet in good terms?

They been on good terms. It's just the public is not letting go of this s***.

Maybe for R&B I always hated those double time beats for rap tho that shii did not age well

Like

Britney’s been through so much

It feels weird that this is what all the PR’s about

That vita song is crqzy

Reminds me a lot of 2000s pre danja timbaland from around the whole Magoo, Missy, Cry me a river, put you on the game, etc era

My Way is a vibe.

Vita sounds good as hell too

Bruh I swear JT's streams are extremely bad. He's on Usher / NeYo level of irrelevancy. I can't comprehend how this happened so fast.

20/20 was his commercial peak I think

Don't think he'll even come close to that but the music should hopefully be good

@op

I need Tim to bless this man

He was much bigger during his 2006-2007 run.

His singles after Mirror mostly flopped. 20m views for videos while YouTube was in its heydey amd people got 1B views left and right

S&T and Mirrors were the only real singles of that era, let's be real...

And both were hits, with Mirrors being a smash hit

Very unplanned era

20/20 Part 1 sold 900k FW iirc

1st single: S&T

2nd single: Mirrors

3rd single (Summer): Tunnel Vision without an explicit video and with radio and TV promo

4th single (September): Spaceship Coupe

no act 2 in 2013!

The MOTW singles initially did well, because people were interested at first...

Say Something was a minor hit that year

While Tunnel Vision, TKO and Take Back the Night did nothing.

Miley overshadowed him that year.

Timbaland is done man. Time to hang up the jersey

Initial hype vs an organic hit that had a huge singles campaign with 3 #1 hits over 2 years. 20/20 was big, but 2013 was a very competitive year and even Robin Thicke had a bigger smash hit that summer. While JT owned late 2006 and early 2007.
