I can't hate this man, yes the last album was just ok, not bad, but wasn't at or above FS/LS. But he's a good writer and came back with HIS sound.

This also shows me that Aaliyah would've been at a whole different level, Timberland is our gen great producer. There's only a few artist that he makes masterpieces with, that's Aaliyah, Missy and JT. The rest are forced. I recall Tim, JT, Aaliyah and Missy talk about just being in the studio and just vibing. It's comes down to the vibe and trust and THAT's why those 3 artist records are so timeless.

People bring up Usher and Usher is the ONLY entertainer that can stand next to MJ or have a huge carrer in his own right. But his last records has been "keep me relevant Vs this is my sound and craft. He's coming, but he need to find that middle ground between great R&B, Pop and taking a chance.
