A Decade of Timbaland

796111531 69x53 A Decade of Timbaland
Timbaland pondering how he'll dominate the next decade of music.
Timbaland produced Aaliyah's "Try Again" off the Romeo Must Die Soundtrack, as well as "We Need a Resolution" and "More Than a Woman" on Aaliyah's self-titled album.  It's pretty safe to say that had it not been for Aaliyah's untimely death in 2001, the 00s would have been filled with more timeless hits from these two.
In 2003, Timbaland produced "The Jump Off" for Lil' Kim's album The Bella Mafia.
Back in 2002, long before "tweet" was a verb that had anything to do with Twitter, it was most associated with the artist of the hit “Oops (Oh My)", another well produced Timbaland song.
It's nearly impossible to listen to BubbaSparxxx's "Ugly" and not hear Timbaland's fingerprints all over it.
Don't call it a comeback.  Just call "Headsprung", produced by Timbaland, LL Cool J's biggest hit of the 00s.
Odds are, if you liked a Missy Elliott song in the last 10 years, TImbaland produced it.  Miss E… So Addictive, Under Construction, This is Not a Test, and The Cookbook: all collaborations with Timbaland.  Just looking at this catalog of Missy/Timbaland hits makes us super excited for her new album set to debut in the spring of 2010.
Ludacris' hits "Roll Out" and "The Potion" both produced by Timbaland.
First he helped Justin Timberlake get Justafied, then Timbaland helped him bring ‘Sexy Back”.  Most importantly, though, he helped Justin transform from boy band to man as an artist.
Jay-Z’s “Dirt of Your Shoulder”  has Timbaland’s producing to credit for being named one of Rolling Stone's 100 Best Songs of the Decade.
When Nelly Furtado wanted to reinvent herself, she looked to Timbaland to help her show the world she was now a "Maneater" and a "Promiscuous Girl".  He also produced 8 other tracks on her album Loose, including dance hit "Say It Right".
Though it was overshadowed by the success of "Paper Planes", Timbaland produced "Come Around" on M.I.A's latest album Kala.
Timbaland even had a hand in Rihanna's 2007 success, producing "Rehab" the last single released from her album Good Girl Gone Bad.
Yes!  Even Ashlee Simpson.  Timbaland produced Ashlee's song "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)" creating surprise whenever possible.
Beyonce’s “Get Me Bodied”, you guessed it, also a Timbaland production.
Thanks to Timbaland, Madonna was able to bet Elvis Presley's record of most songs in Billboard's Top Ten with her single "4 Minutes".
Timbaland’s remix of OneRepublic’s "Apologize" was so successful, OneRepublic included it as a bonus track on their album.
Was it his sampling of her song “Jóga" on Missy Elliott's "Hit 'Em Wit Da Hee (Remix)" or just his Midas touch that got Bjork's attention?  Co-producing her song "Earth Intruders" gave Bjork her biggest hit in the US since 1993.
While Timbaland and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden's collaboration on Chris' 2009 album Scream was considered a failed experiement, it proved just how wide Timbaland's scope as a producer reached in the last 10 years.
