In Case you Missed It...

Here's the full video of "Timbaland: E! True Hollywood Story."

Rare Reel: Missy Elliott's "E! True Hollywood Story"

While clips of Missy's E! True Hollywood Story episode have been floating around the internet for years, our friends over at This is a Missy Exclusive Suckaz! just shared the full episode for Missy fans everywhere. The episode reveals Missy's childhood in Virgina, domestic abuse, forming Fayze/Sista, meeting Timbaland, hooking up with Devante and Da Basement Crew, her first big break, weight loss, Aaliyah's passing, and many other moments in her life. The episode features interviews with Timbo, Ginuwine, Madonna, Tweet, Kevin Powell, LeShawn Shellman of Sista, and her mother (Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!!!). Peep the episode here:



Thanks again to This is a Missy Exclusive Suckaz!

Rare Reel

We haven't had a rare reel in quite some time and today we're bringing you some real gems from Missy performances throughout the years. Check 'em out:

"Pass The Dutch" on SNL in 2003


"Sock It To Me/The Rain" w/ Magoo and Pepsii Riley? HOT performance!!


"Gossip Folks/Work It" MTV Spring Break 2003


"Sock It 2 Me" from Martin (who is that singing??)

Way Back When: "Lil' Apartment"/ "I'm a Real N***a"

Tim decided to go into his vault for this week's Timbaland Thursdays and released Lil' Apartmet. Most Timbo stans will recognize the song (and probably have it on their playlist) as "I'm a real n***a," a track that leaked in full almost three years ago and was slated for the indefinitely-shelved 6'2, Attitude, and Timbaland group album (they recorded over 60 songs for that album! Tim, you need to release that entire album for the next Timbaland Thursdays). Now, even though the track leaked in 2008, the real geeky Tim stans will remember that we first caught a glimpse of this record back in the spring of 2006 when a random video clip (seemingly recorded by Brian Byrd) of Tim, Hannon, Jimmy D, pre-American Idol contestant Chris Richardson (who recorded a song with Sebastian), King Logan, and (I think?) Danja listening to the track at Thomas Crown Studios. Peep it:


Hannon and Tim

Byrd | Myspace Video

I played this video so many times that I memorized Tim's mannerisms to the song, and still do them when I listen to 6'2's verse lol.

Well, there you have it. Another Timbo history brought to you by the good folks over at The Thomas Crown Chronicles :-)

The Rarest of Reels

Quite some time ago, I discovered 4 of some of the Rarest Reels to date:

Playa's "Ms. Parker"
Ginuwine's "G Thang"
Sista's "Hip Hop"
Jodeci "Sweaty"

All of these videos definitely exsist.....somewhere. You see just as quickly as I found them on youtube, they were deleted, and after extensive searching I have still yet to find them again. Have you ever seen them?

Rare Reel

My apologies for the sound at the end.

Dear Timbo, we miss you....

Rare Reel

Stan alert: there is a version without Tim's rap.

Rare Reel

Now take a listen to Mel B's "Word Up", anything sound familiar? Also for the stans, there's an alternate to this track as well.

Props to Alex on the reels.

Rare Reel

For all the stans add this track to your video version list as this is different than the original and Tim's Dance Mix.

In honor of Timbo's birthday let's take you WAY back to the good ol' Supafriendz days:

Rare Reel

LIVE Ginuwine "I'll Do Anything/I'm Really Sorry"

Anyone recognize a certain back-up singer?

Rare Reel

So that's how she did it!

Happy Birthday Aaliyah

Happy Birthday baby girl, you would have been 29 today and on top of the world. You are missed by so many of us.



Also here are some Rare Reels from a San Diego concert back in 1999:

"Back and Forth"

"At Your Best"

"Hot Like Fire"

"Four Page Letter"

"If Your Girl Only Knew

"One In A Million"

Rare Reel

It's almost hard to watch:

Drunk Juliette & TImbaland

Maybe the Muse track will make Shock Value II If it ever sees the light of day. Plus where's that 4th Bjork track?

Rare Reel

i finally found it again:

Black Russian "Back Up Out My Way" f/ Magoo
Uploaded by ThomasCrownChronicles

featuring Magoo produced by DJ Kool & Screwface.

If you're not sure who the Black Russians are take a look here to learn. I still have no idea where these guys came from, where they went, or how they were tied to Timbo.

If anyone has a downloadable link to the video let me know!

(Very) Rare Reel

It just surfaced:



Rare find indeed. Big props to the person who posted it. This would be considered the same as the radio edit so update your lists!
