Ginuwine sounds off on Timbaland
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Early in his career, Ginuwine's music was shaped around the production from Timbaland. Before he began working with Ginuwine, Timbo was a small-time producer. However, after the success of his debut single, "Pony," both Ginuwine and Timbaland were famous. That song gave birth to what is known as the "Timbaland sound."
In the fourteen years that have passed since the release of "Pony," the careers of the two have gone in different directions. Ginuwine has posted a few hits since then. Meanwhile, Timbaland retired in 2003, but returned to become one of the top hip hop producers. Despite being one of the best in hip hop, Tim is quitting hip hop.
Ginuwine does not have the star power that he had a few years ago and he was hoping to work with Timbaland. He said that there was a time when Timbo was his closest ally in the industry. However, over time, Timbaland has not been as close with him. Each time that he has reached out, Ginuwine said that Timbaland has ignored him.
For the past few years, it has appeared that the only black artists who can get a Timbaland beat are Jay-Z and other big names. While he still associates with Missy Elliott, he is not as close with her as he used to be because of his new connections. Ginuwine is truly upset with Timbaland and he feels that Timbo owes him an apology. He said that there is no need in Timbaland reaching out to him now, because he did not do it in the past and Ginuwine is going to go at his next album alone. Before the end of this year, he wants to release another album.
