Title: No longer Fresh
Product review: I think this suffers from the fact that when Missy Elliot and Timbaland first appeared, this sound was new and fresh. Now if you switch on the TV, 50% of tracks are inspired by them so this doesn't stand out as much at the 1st 6 or 7 tracks from the 1st Timbaland LP or the first time you heard and saw 'The Rain' video. Missy Elliots new LP is the best she's done I think yet this is clearly Timbalands worst...he's been giving his best work over to others. Of course, most of the lyrics are banal and hopeless but thats not why you listen to this stuff. Jay-Z stands out amongst a bunch of banal and uninspiring performances. Truly mediocre. I'm not losing complete faith in his work, but he's right to make this his last release as clearly his best work he does with other artists.I like the track 'Serious' and 1 or 2 others...if they were out 3 years ago I'd have been even more excited.
