Tim's Bio -Life From Da Basement

The Source (1/99, p.184) - 3.5 Mics (out of 5) - "...Timbo shows and proves that he can cater to outsiders as nicely as he can to his own fam....Better known for his beats than his use of samples..."
Vibe (1/99, p.190) - "...Timbaland creates skittering rhythms, layered with whispered incantations, that are among music's most bugged....he proves that you can be commercial and innovative at the same time..."
Rolling Stone (12/10/99, p.120) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...If Timbaland is making futuristic funk,...he's envisioning a bright,...technology-makes-life-easier sort of world."
Muzik (2/99, p.80) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...the real joy here is the production: the depths of between the...bass and lush top end, the skittish, robotic drums neatly paralleling the latest underground garage developments...a perfect snapshot of this...modern of contemporary soul."
Entertainment Weekly (12/18/98, pp.79-80) - "...With its reference to Spider-Man and its liner note nods to Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, TIM'S BIO is steeped in comic-book culture, a trend that allows rappers to indulge in violent fantasies that have no connection to reality..." - Rating: B+
Mixmag (1/99, p.115) - 3 out of 5 - "...the saviour of r n' b....dancehall-inspired stuttering rhythms, sinuous funk and off-kilter melodies....Focus on the production...for proof that Timbaland really is a genius..."
