Reviews

"A fantastically inspirational story about weathering the dynamics of the producer-artist relationship, the rigors of show business and one man's insistence on constantly evolving, one beat at a time." -- Soul Train"[Timbaland] changed the course of hip-hop and R&B... The open-minded, genre-hybrid approach that dominates contemporary production would be hard to imagine without Timbaland's example." -- Rolling Stone"The most important producer of the decade." -- The New Yorker
