can't think of any off hand but I was just shown hermaphrodite porn for the first time on some 2girls1cup shit....someone was like "yo you gotta see this." I couldn't really compute it - it was just so far fetched....like looking at one of those text book optical illusions that your brain doesn't know to compute - the ones that sort of look like MC Escher drawings.

I was so uncertain, I had to google to find out he was a man ... which was a little unsettling because up until then I thought he was a fairly cute girl ...
cant believe dudes here are getting heated over timberlake i have never understood why people get worked up over other peoples opinions of artist. if some one likes an artist you despise, why try and change their mind, it just doesnt make sense to me

I have sick ass soul records in my collection and I cut like hell for the Timberlake records. Deal with it.
And all along i thought 99% of Justin's fans were 12-18 year old females
Guess i was wrong
Well, my partner's a 30-something black woman whose Aretha and Al Green collections are probably as deep as most of the cats on here, and she is most definitely a fan, so make of that what you will.
One of the things that most consistently boils my piss nowadays is the tendency some folks display towards trashing music purely on the basis of the people who listen to it, whether that's the teenage girls who like Justin Timberlake, or the young marrieds who bond over a mutual love of someone like James Blunt. Me? I like music. I look for the good in everything. Sometimes it's there to be found, other times it isn't. My take on Justin Timberlake is that he makes state-of-the-art pop music that has most of his peers eating dirt. He is absolutely the best in his lane right now. Dude is a good singer, a great performer, and he clearly has his own ideas about what it takes to make a pop record that'll make grizzled old fuckers like me sit up and take notice, even if those ideas might be no more than "I should hook up with Timbo/Pharrell/Rick Rubin". In any event, wanting to work with musical heavyweights is by no means the same thing as actually getting them to agree to work with you. This alone would suggest to me that Timberlake has got something. I mean, Timbo, the Neptunes and Rick Rubin can work with who the fuck ever they like, when the fuck ever they like, and I'm certain none of them need the money. Maybe they know something you don't. What's that Muddy Waters lyric? "The men don't know, but the little girls understand"? True as it ever was, it seems.
saying. this "smash hit" was/is one of the worst frauds ever perpetrated on the world music market.
it's not a good song.
Thank you. I get that it's bangin' in the club and the girls love it, but I still don't think it's a good song.
I respect JT. He's not the greatest singer, but he's made some great records, a couple that I like very much. I will never, ever, ride for Sexy Back though.

No, Usher is definitely better and Chris Brown is probably better too.
I really couldn't imagine Usher even attempting the kind of creative hard-left that a record like "Future Sex/Love Sounds" would represent for someone in his position. That could be down to some kind of "white privilege" shit, whereby a performer like Timberlake will get the chance to do close-mic'ed, torchy ballads with Rick Rubin without too much of a fight, whereas in similar circumstances I'd imagine Usher might be told to shut up and keep giving the kids what they want if he ever walked up in his record company offices and said, "Y'know, what I'd really like to do on this next record is something that sounds like Radiohead..."
Don't get me wrong, I like Usher. "Confessions" still gets major bump in my house, and while I think Chris Brown is OK, he's a little too much like Usher's Mini-Me. "Run It" wasn't much more than a rework of "Yeah!", but not anywhere near as exciting. I freely admit to being impressed by the way in which Justin Timberlake has shaken off his boy-band past and made a serious attempt to grow as an artist. I'd really like to see someone like Usher try to follow suit; maybe not in quite the same way, but I think he's established enough now to take a risk or two. Sadly, it's always been tougher for black artists to get those kind of risks sanctioned. I mean, if Usher wanted to stop being Usher, would his fanbase switch their loyalties to Chris Brown? After all, I don't think anyone seriously thinks Usher and Justin Timberlake are in competition with one another, but it's worth considering that Justin probably doesn't look over his shoulder and see someone ready to steal his whole shit if he decides he wants his next record to sound like Sonic Youth.
interesting, good music that developed out of a collaboration between a white pop artist and a well known hip hop producer:
you see, in order for good music to come out of a collaboration like this, the artist has to be interesting and talented and not intrerested in making ringtones for 15 year old beckys
unlike doc mccoy i could see usher pulling a timberlake on his next record ... but he hasnt done it yet. be real, futuresexlovesounds set the bar kinda high for crossover pop R&B and thats what usher does, and its what chris brown wants.

LOL @ the idea of Bjork's music--and, specifically, her collaborations with hip-hop producers--being in any way superior to Timberlake's.

Well, I'd counter that by saying that Bjork had already made a grip of interesting, good records long before she got in the studio with Timbaland.
As for your second point, I would counter that by saying that Justin Timberlake is pretty much unique amongst his peers inasmuch as he seems to be genuinely motivated by a desire to make the best records he possibly can, rather than simply "making ringtones for 15 year old beckys". As ever, your mileage may vary.

although we hit a brick wall on our opinions a while ago, this statement has driven the final nail in the coffin on this point...the fact that you say JT>Bjork just proves to me you are bat shit insane...
Let's talk more concretely and less subjectively - who would win in a wrestling match?

Whilst I disagree with Faux Rilla on that point as well, it should be said that he wasn't the one comparing apples with oranges.

claims to be female but I think it's a man, baby
dude, you will not look that up on my computer!
I was so uncertain, I had to google to find out he
was a man ... which was a little unsettling because
up until then I thought he was a fairly cute girl ...
But how do you feel about Elvis?

I'm still not feeling "Sexy Back", though.

No, Usher is definitely better and Chris Brown is probably better too.
I will even go as far as cosigning Rootless over this.
Chris Brown is "good" at basketball, "decent" at imitating Michael Jackson's dancing and "bad" at making music.
the hollow planets have alligned.
And still better than JT.

I was 4 or 5 when my mom was bumping some Sylvester. She saw me looking quizically at the album cover, and explained to me what drag queens are.
'confessions' was definitely > timberlake's debut
