Oh Timbaland...

Anyone else noticed this?

Timbaland et. al - "Give it to Me"
When Timbo is in the party, everybody put up they hands
I get a half a mil' for my beats, you get a couple gra-an-and
Never gon' see the day that I ain't got the upper hand
I'm respected from Californ-I-A, all the way down to Japan


Timbaland et. al - "The Way I Are"
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we'll be the perfect soulmates


Writers and lyricists can take on characters during a creative process, but this feels more like a calculated business move than an artistic decision. It would be easier to take if Shock Value had a bit more depth (despite its 17 tracks), but hey, with a couple massive singles and McMoney in the bank, who needs artistic fulfillment?

Give It To Me


The Way I Are
