BossPlayya presents: Timstrumental of the Week

BossPlayya checkin w/ the Timstrumental this week.

It's my daughter's birthday on sunday, so I decided I'ma dedicate July to the ladies. Timbaland has produced many great tracks thruout his career, and his chemistry w/ the females is always nice

For the first one, I'ma go back to the beginning of 1997. The BOOTY CALL soundtrack to the movie starring Jamie Foxx and Vivica A Fox came out. It was dominated by established artists such as R Kelly and Joe, had at the time fledgling producer Rodney Jerkins on there AND...Sisters With Voices were back with a new song.

I had no idea, CAN WE hadn't gotten single status yet, but that joint instantly became my fave off that cd. It stayed on repeat, I was happy as hell to see the Timbaland name in the credits. 'Dude is unstoppable' I remember thinkin...ONE IN A MILLION, THE BACHELOR and he kept it goin with this. The song became a huge radio smash, at least where I was livin. It didn't really help album sales, SWV squandered that by releasing it's album way too late.

It's a shame we never got to hear SWV do more tracks with Tim. Aside from Coko's HE'LL BE BACK, we probably won't hear her over a Tim beat again. This is a great track that has that signature 96/97 Timbo sound that was 'changing' R&B radio (as Tim has put it very often). Anyway, here goes CAN WE by SWV, a highlight of the Timbaland/Missy partnership.

  1. TIm said many years back in an interview (which I will be posting soon) that this was his favorite beat he ever did. Good look Rod!

    It just encompasses that whole era that Tim was making his name in. Perfection.
