Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment
Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment is a 1998 album released by Blackground Records. Though nominally the debut solo album by R&B/hip-hop producer Timbaland, the LP is technically a compilation of tracks produced by Timbaland and often though not strictly featuring his vocals. A litany of guest stars appear on Tim's Bio, from Timbaland's "Swing Mob" partners Magoo, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Playa, and Skillz, to outside performers Nas, Jay-Z, Twista and others. Tim's Bionotably marks the on-record debut of Ludacris on "Phat Rabbit", later included on his debut LP Back for the First Time (2000) -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
The Early Registration
No matter what questions pop in your head while listening to this overlooked endeavor, it certainly answers the question, is Timbaland one of the best producers of all time?
-
All CD Covers
Bassment regulars get the star treatment they have become accustomed to, while new talents--such as Kelly Price and wordsmith Twista--shine just as brightly.
-
All Music
Tim's Bio is a solid introduction to the talents of hip-hop's best young producer of the late '90s.
-
EW
Steeped in comic-book culture, a trend that allows rappers to indulge in violent fantasies that have no connection to reality.
-
Rocks Back Pages
So what's immediately striking about Bio is its failure to probe a fresh new direction.
-
Sears
It's his youthful sense of fun that proves most infectious.
-
Hip Hop Isn't Dead
A rambling mess.
