Another person Timbaland works with that has a pretty interesting
R&B/D&B sound throughout is GinuWine... I wanted so much to just
dismiss him as a pretty boy, but tho his vocals arent the best in the
world, the music is actually kinda interesting.
The only thing about it tho, is that Timbaland is limited in his
beats/sounds... I had Aaliyah, then I heard GinuWine and the first
thing I noticed is how similar the beats/samples are... Its like
GinuWine's album is the male version of Aaliyah's in many respects.
Also, while your typical jungle beats can get quite experimental and
complex, Timbaland's drum and bass seems to be one pattern that is
just looped. Worth checking out tho.
Im interested in hearing what he does with Missy(the rapper who has
appeared in everybody and their mother's songs)'s album, which was
produced by Timbaland and is supposed to be coming out today...

Dear list: If large segments of the U.s. are ever going to get
jungle such comprehension will come via the music genre that has akways
led the way into the mainstream: R&b . Twice this year I have heard
rap and r&B TRACKS THAT HAVE USED jUNGLES RHYTMIC APPROACH WITHIN THE
CONFINES OF r&B. aAaLIYAH'S ONE IN A MILLION AND 4 PAGE LETTER,bOTH
PRODUCED BY Timbaland have jungle turn-arounds that are actually
quite innovative.That these songs have crossed pop means that American
radio listeners are getting some jungle type vibes spoonfed them in
controlled doses. I would also recommend Timbalands work in general ,as
he is the hottest producer out there and has an interesting style(see:
SWV's Can We?) and good melodies in an R&b vein.
The second is a track on the album By Do or Die it uses hi-hats to make
a beat that in Jungle would be done on a full kit . This adds a
syncopated percussive topline that goes faster than the slow southern
style track. I know of another southern rapm song out that does this(big
mike) also a sign that some american musicians with mainstrem audiences
are digging D&b and learning stuff from it.
