    also feel like teddy riley was really trying to keep up with timbo in the late 90's/early 2000's. wouldn't say he was straight biting him but he dropped some of his worst production ever around this time trying to keep up with the times lol

    Speaking of Beat Biters am I the only one who thought Slow Down and Ain’t No Way sounded kinda similar?

    Sean Garrett x chris brown made hits might be an underrated team tbh

    those synth sounding sound effects pushes over the edge of being unbearable imo. remove that and im not mad tbh. also the fact meth actually caught the pocket of that mess is impressive itself.

    @op anybody during that time that was biting their style, but my biggest guess would be Darkchild during late 90s

    tbh i thought this was a Timbaland beat when i first heard it

    and i remember Brandy directly admitting she was inspired by him and Aaliyah when making it

    It's hilarious that Darkchild did all that to just let Timbo make an amazing remix on his ass

    It's plain obvious here. Missy, Aaliyah and Timbaland is throughout this album.

    I definitely feel like everyone influenced each other around that time. There were so many great producers coming up during the latter part of the 90's and it's hard to tell who inspired who.

    Timbaland/Darkchild blew up around the same time and Neptunes a bit later (They didn't really become a household name until after Superthug even though they were co-producing some of Tedy Riley's stuff before that). They all had their own signature sound yet they all must've inspired one another.

    As a musical listener, I remember those years as the most innovative era I've experienced.

    Very true.

    Out of all the producers you just named Timbaland was able to shift the sound of music multiple times.

    After Ginuwine’s The Bachelor and Aaliyah’s One in a million, you could clearly see that his drum programming was being emulated in Hip-Hop and R&B. And then he did it again with Pop radio for Futuresex/love sounds and Loose.
