    I know exactly what hes talking about when he said god just said "no more" during his addiction. Being an ex heroin addict of 4 years it happened to me. One day god hit me with a feeling and i was like enough is enough and i got some suboxone and detoxed myself and never looked back, that was 5 years ago. Everyone alway says heroin is one of the hardest drug to come off of and it is but, from my experience quitting is the easy battle, staying off of it is the war. If you can stay strong and make it thru the first year, the hard part is over. You will come out the other side noticeably stronger and confident that there aint no obstacle you cant get over and the stresses of life and the thoughts of "how am i gonna get thru this" decline drastically. One good thing that came out of my addiction is that i am stronger and my confidence is higher. I no longer worry about things because "I KNOW" ill be victorious in battle.

    Such an amazing interview. Being from VA, I watched his career take off with his early music and seeing how humble he is now, shows such wisdom. “You’re only as good as your team.” Hard to digest that in our younger years but with age comes wisdom and he truly is an inspiration. Thanks, Tim, for working hard to give us so many great times with your music and for keeping up the good fight. I’ve sailed to many countries and rocked your jams for many people. Much love to you, Missy, Pharrell and everyone who puts in the work to make our lives more enjoyable.Thank you and please keep doing your thing. We appreciate you. #VA #TwoUpTwoDown

Even though many of Pharrell's productions sound more pleasant to my ears, I admit that Justin's more futuristic stuff comes from Timbo. Timbo simply revolutionized what we hear on the radio and I respect him for it ! Especially being an electronic music fan

Shows good spontaneity to listen to their answers, formulate a follow up question in your head and make sure that question is well worded and will be provocative enough to really get an in depth and informative answer too.

I'm 50 years old and after working for others most of my adult life, I'm embarking on a web/data analytics consulting firm to help creative individuals reach their dreams and corporate/government entities reach their goals.

    2:02 signature Timbaland snare PS: I have to admit, the melody part as he said was heavily influenced by Missy Elliott and Static Major. All three together were untouchable when it comes to music. I still love Timbaland's production but can't help to admit that ever since they stopped directly working together, Tim's beats remained solid, but the melody part of his production did take a backseat

    Your thoughts on how important music can be to people is spot on. Frequencys can move people in ways we dont understand, but when theres a flow to it, when u hear something that makes u feel good, it can change the outlook on your Day. So Thank You Timbaland for your dedication to your craft and staying in it through all your ups and downs. When that music vibe is correct.. Everything seems to fall into its place. Your music will be heard and felt Forever. Timbaland the Best and we know this.

    He once said in an interview, the whole production game has changed. You don't have many great producers anymore, you now have great programmers. Most of these new kids don't even know how to make their own drums, melodies, basslines or percussive sounds, because most of them have never played an actual instrument before. Now, they just resample and recycle everything, using nothing but a computer and some software.
