Timbaland With The Edge Leaders Magazine (Interview)

Timbaland spoke at the recent Collision conference in Toronto, and The Edge caught up with him to find out more about the business end of his various projects.

This year you launched an online masterclass, an instructional series on production and beatmaking. Can you speak to how this has inspired others?
A lot of producers and people that I work with, they tell me that what I’ve explained to them has really moved their career forward. I’m not selfish. I give all my tools. I tell my producers, ‘You can go through my computer, and take all my sounds,’ because I try to better them. They look at me like it’s unreal that I do that.

I try to tell people, ‘God made you, and you only. So, I can give you everything that I have, but it’s not going to sound like me. Because God made just me. So, for you, it’s going to help you go further, and have an identity for yourself.’

So, when I explain that to all my students that work under me, they are just in awe. They call me ‘Timbo the King’ but I’m like Jon Snow. I don’t want it – like Game of Thrones. I just give the information because I tell them, ‘You are the next one. You are greater than I ever was. I just broke the wall for you to come in and be who you are.’

Is there anything you advise to help more women get into the industry? 
Before it used to be stereotyped – but now you have WondaGurl. I think it’s all about your work ethic. I’m looking for the best female producers. You always see the male dominance, and I’m trying to bring the awareness of women understanding sound.

I told the men, whatever y’all are doing, you are vibing to your own beat. If they don’t vibe to it – trash. The women make the world move. They know what, sonically, what is great, and what moves them. As men in music, we follow the women. They won’t say that, but when they go to the club, they don’t start dancing first. They see their girlfriend, then they are going to react.

I feel like the women producers really are going to take over. Women producers understand sound and the movement of a woman. I think we are going to see more. I know they say 7% [of producers] are female, but I think we are going to see that go up. The same advice goes for women that goes for men: It’s just all about perseverance and breaking down those barriers.

How has technology changed music lately?

It is easier, but like everything in life it has a pro and con. It’s good if you’re good. Technology is growing. Nothing beats the human touch if you are great. But you have to be aware that artificial intelligence is around the corner.

Technology doesn’t mean that you stop. It means you keep going, because your mind is still making new things. People have to be willing to change. Don’t be afraid to step outside of the box. I feel like with producers now I always hear, ‘Everybody sounds the same.’

No, if you step outside the box, everyone has the same program, and the same dial, but you can do something different. As humans, we get accustomed to one thing, and we just repeat that one thing. For me, I’m not afraid of technology; I embrace it, because this is what I always wanted when I was a kid. I always wanted more technology, so I could do things easier. Now that I have it, it’s a blessing.

What’s your secret to success? 

It’s really just one thing: never give up. No matter what is in front of you, you always have to pick yourself up and try again. It’s just like that song I made with Aaliyah, “Dust yourself off and try again.” That song means more to the world now than it ever has.

Missy Elliott & H.E.R. - Paint It Black (Pepsi Zero Commercial)

Pepsi has tapped Missy Elliott and H.E.R. for an ad pitching Pepsi Zero Sugar during the Super Bowl. The 30-second spot is clearly aimed at its arch-rival Coca-Cola with the opening scene showing H.E.R. and a large crowd having their red soda cans transformed into black, Pepsi Zero Sugar cans. 

 Sure, the cans say “Cola” but the reference couldn’t be more obvious with Pepsi using Coca-Cola’s typeface while in the background you can see Coke’s well-known wave symbol. The whole spot is anchored by a cover of The Rolling Stones’ classic song “Paint It Black”.

Timbaland Previews Collaboration With Playboi Carti

A collaboration that you would probably never thought to ask.

Playboi Carti seems so perfect on the production of Timbaland that you would never have thought, or hoped, that it is working with another producer.While Carti will continue to be one of the duos rappers-producers of the most loved of the game,  This is a collaboration that comes out of left field – a true mesh of generations and sounds – but based on the excerpt, extended code provided by Timbaland, this works! Timbo has posted a video of him on Instagram, wearing a mask of robber and jumping on the “banger” that he has concocted. He has not provided any information in the legend regarding the project on which this song is going to be made or when we will receive it.
