    Good observation.

    It’s a man trying to keep up with a sound he doesn’t truly understand

  • first one sounds like a RZA beat tbh lol

  • Botney

    tell me 3 great Timbo songs from 2009-2012 (and I'm sure they all from Shock Value II)

    Off that
    Venus vs mars
    Say something

    But I don't know any outside of that lol

    this man was really throwing s*** at the wall

    linkin park sample fake timbo impression going into a soul 2 soul sample with a mid rap verse. i will say. i have heard nothing like this before. probably for good reason.

    this album actually not that bad, its all over the place but its just when teddy tries to lean into rapping instead of singing he suddenly becomes awful

    Trash or proto opium lmao

    this is the equivalent of all the glam rock bands having to do a grunge album in the 90s so they could remain relevant

    (This prolly why Method Man sounds so good on that song cause he prolly thought it was a Rockwidler beat.)

    you know what.

    I didn't get @op point and did highkey just look at this as some hating niggas for tryna be different until this post.

    I get it.

    Teddy RILEY (fuck is this TR s***) shoulda just kept on being himself woulda probably saw more success in the 00s. He already had his own sound.

    Production ages over years but it shouldn’t become offensive on the ear like the production here lol. P, timbo and swizz production from this exact era hasn’t aged to the point where it’s nearly unlistenable like the songs in op

    idk man some of these swizz beats that DMX saved kinda doo doo butter in hindsight

  • raps

    you can't put that on him tbh, every 90s kid (including me) thought that was MJ because Kipp Lennon literally was hired to sing just like MJ because labels wouldnt allow MJ himself to do it.

    yeah sonically his production aged like ass, i feel like the rhythmic patterns his beats had and how he would work hook/melodic ideas into them is what made them stand out and still hold up...on some level.

    more about the bounce than the quality of the sounds being used when it comes to swizz imo

    I think the amount of hate is proportional, that first track has 2.3k views

    Scarface and Snoop sound good on that second beat (as expected), the Figadoh s*** reminds me of the beat on Shyne Bad Boyz

    I like that the logo in the background of that Sisqo song looks like Dean Blunt Zushi

    In summary OP is WRONG!!! these tracks are nothing to write home about but Teddy Riley is a legend and never gets enough love online in 2026

    The Zushi logo is straight up just the Dru Hill logo

    The Zushi logo is straight up just the Dru Hill logo

    Its a good thing he a part of dru hil lol

    I didn’t say one good thing about the songs except Scarface and Snoop sound good (like they do on most beats lol)

    They copied the sample idea from Bad Boyz, is it disrespectful to Ye to say that Logic made a song that copied him

    Simmer down
