by Timbaland ft. every artist under the sun: When I realized that I missed the release date of Shock Value 2, I was uber excited to get the sequel of the original Shock Value. However, when I pressed play this morning I began to wonder what happened?!? I love Timbaland and his usual collaborations with Nelly Furtado, Justin TImberlake, and Keri Hilson but I don’t know what happened this time around. He has those usual suspects, but everybody else is just random and it sounds like Timbaland’s secret sauce has lost the ingredients.! The only memorable tracks are Carry Out and Say Something. The rest are wiggity wiggity whack! Timbaland + Miley Cirus? That says enough! It seems like Timbaland is chasing mainstream money instead of staying true to himself. I think Timbaland needs to call up Magoo or Missy to remind himself of what “Timbaland the artist” sounds like. Or, he can stick to producing and get off the tracks! Luckily, there is one track that I can play off the album. How ironic that it’s the second single – after the first didn’t do too good…

by Timbaland ft. T-Pain: I contemplated posting this song a few weeks ago, but I did not want to make anyone aware of ANOTHER T-Pain song. Seems like I can’t get away from it! This track is on every mixtape I listened to today! I do know this beat is hot and with my car’s sound system on high, this will beat hard! I also think this is a great club song! With a drink in my hand and this song playing, I am positive I would be dancing. This song is one of the singles off Shock Value 2, Timbaland’s 3rd solo album. In my opinion, the original Shock Value was a great album. Timbaland describes the Jr. as a Now That’s What I Call Music! compilation which means that this album is anticipated to be pure hotness!
