Timbaland and Timberlake were a dangerous combo, they need to do more music again
Not as Dangerous as Timberland and Miss Elliot but I see where you're going
@@ejicon3099 false, 100x more dangerous. JT n Timbo are the best duo ever.
@@SKATETAPES444 1000% False. Missy and Timothy have more hitz.
@@ejicon3099 Souls, remember this verse: 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Which clears out the question(complains) that bible is man written, IT IS NOT. Our sinful nature allows not to write any which were written into the bible. Nor can any man see future, unless GOD has given him visions. Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Neptunes and timberlake
The fact that JT can have a conversation and beat box, but still keeps the tempo while explaining just shows you how musically talented he is. Much respect
This dudes combination of talent is not fair, Singer, Songwriter, producer, dancer, actor and a good looking dude. Save some for the rest of us JUSTIN!
Ikr 😭
For me is 1- Cry me a river (best pop song from 00's). 2- Sexyback (his most unageing song). 3- What goes around, comes around (His most never getting tired of listening song).
I personally feel like, “She Knows” is one of the greatest songs ever
@@kvngamo205you mean lovestoned?
I love your list!! I agree
You must’ve read my mind this is exactly what I think and would choose as my top 3 favourites by him!!
Him beatboxing the Sexyback instrumental is gold
Cry Me A River beatboxed is gold (4:46)
"And he goes 'YEAH'" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ikr! I couldn't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Mind…blown.. 🤯 😂😂😂😂😂
From 7:37 to 7:55 he is having the conversation with Zane and you can tell the beat is playing in his head because he does not miss the beat in between the conversation. He has a metronome in his head.
Crazy 🤣
Exactly. Not a beat missed.
Strawberry Bubblegum is so mellow and perfect, also the end of let the groove get in is Timberlake perfection. He’s so so good at an outro
All night long 🙌🙌🙌
His best outros, in my opinion, are in "Tunnel Vision," "TKO," and "What Goes Around... Comes Around."
Yes!!!! Strawberry Bubblegum is my song! And the outro is my favorite! I play that song all the time!!!!
This is why Justin Timberlake will become a legend in his career. His songs never get old. I'm still listening to his songs after years and it still feels fresh and new
Mirrors❤️
He's already a legend!
Andre Palhares he already is a legend
my love !💖
yeah , hes up there with Lennon , Led Zepplin , Elton John , Joni Mitchel, Kate Bush, James Taylor, Carol king, Fleetwood mac, Stevie Wonder.
2:56 "I'm dangerous but not that dangerous..." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That was EXACTLY it!!!
Man JT and Timbaland go together like PB&J. Crazy how that synergy created such a dynamic and fresh style.
“Don’t Hold the Wall” is an underrated masterpiece and by far the best song he’s ever recorded.
A G R E E D!!!!!!!!
Facts!!!!!!
At least Top 15
most definitely top 5 in his catalogue lol
That whole album man, serious timeless gem.
LoveStoned/I Think She Knows Interlude is still one of the best things he created.
Amen
And the most underrated
Yessssss!
That whole album
yes.. whole album future sex/lovesounds is iconic in my opinion
The 20/20 experience to this day is one of the most modern, elegant and crazy albums ever. I love this album
Same
Justified for me.
I agree
I am SO GLAD someone else feels this way!!! It’s an experience every single time I listen!!
Its really good
JT is one of the best pop artists in history, his stuff is both incredibly catchy and incredibly avant-garde and risky and out of the box. 20/20 Experience is a goddamn masterpiece.
Futuresex lovesounds is also a big masterpiece, along with justified ❤️❤️
@@Lux_bxdiee Agreed, FSLS is a masterpiece to me as well. Justified was top notch too. The way I describe it is, Justified is Justin's Off The Wall and FSLS is his Thriller. I know a lot of people loved 20/20 Experience and it definitely has some hits that I love on it... but I didn't love the album and personally wouldn't call it a masterpiece.
He has 1 great album
@@aaliyce 🧢
"avant garde" lmao bruh
JT has some of the best vocals to ever come around. People forget he’s been singing for a fat minute
Are u serious..
Cry Me A River is like a Michael Jackson classic with live instrumentation. Main Recording sessions took place at Westlake Recording studios in Studio A. Timbaland handled the percussion and beatboxing, hired Scott Storch that came up with the main melody and keyboard parts of Cry Me A River. Tim also hired Bill Pettaway that played the bass and guitar parts, hired Philly String Arranger Larry Gold that arranged and conducted the strings for the song all the way in Philadelphia at Larry Golds studio. Tye Tribett and a Gospel Choir was brought in to fill the back ground vocals towards the end of the bridge. Very much like how Dr. Dre that worked with session musicians that directed orchestrated the whole thing like Quincy Jones.
Gotta say, after all this time, I didn't know Tye Tribett was involved as he backed the latter end of the song the choir. Very cool detail you've listed here. Nice.
@@talon3684 tye tribbet is a legend
I believe Pharrell actaully created most of the songs for MJ and i think he passed on it or something happened
What about "my love"? is the greatest song of JT
facts I love that song so much
They talk about My Love in the full episode.
Every JT song is the greatest song of JT. Every single song was an absolute banger on all albums. This video should have been them talking about every single song he created!
@@wristhack Except the last album. It wasn't on his standards
@@brice5244 i agree to disagree.
With amazing headphones... the audio quality on this is pure bliss.
The video quality is also amazing!
it sounds so like soft and clear
Being a metal head/rocker guitar teen in the mid 90s and early 2000’s, yeah we made fun of boy bands. But when his first solo album came out I was jamming in a cover band and we learned some tracks of the first solo album.. my musical mind was blown away by the arrangements and style. I love hearing how songs were created. You the man Justin! Love how you appreciate the musicians and the musicianship. 👍👍👍
Justin Timberlake is an icon! I will FOREVER be a fan, I've bought all his records ( from the very beginning!) and every time that he released a live concert DVD I bought that too. I still listen to Justified to this day. And of course I was a huge NSYNC fan. I was able to go see Justin in concert last year, with my niece, on his MOTW tour!! Talk about a dream come true and it was so surreal because I had watched him perform on TV countless times. I just love JT so much and watching this has brightened my day! Especially knowing that he is coming out with new music soon, OMG, how exciting!!! And Justin's impressions are always spot on and hilarious, he is so cool.
Timberlake and Timbaland a Dream combo like no other
So no one is gonna talk about how good those mics are 😂😂holy shi...
Hahaha damn you're right bro
Crisp clear in my headphones
the comment I was looking for. Good man
Exactly what i was thinking, lol!
And here they didn't talk about Rock Your Body, My Love, LoveStoned and Mirrors! How many great songs in his discography! 💯✨
Ikr, his masterpieces😭
Rock Your Body might be too controversial for him to talk about
@@captainbryce1 no it isn't
Wish this interview was longer. Always respect for JT
The full, 1-hour interview is on Apple Music, on Essentials Radio section.
@@TW734 Justin Timberlake is Jesse Williams in blackface make up. Same person same liar!
@@TW734 I just found it, but just the "podcast". The full version isn't in video?
@Mrs Meowmeow music.apple.com/br/station/justin-timberlake-essentials-radio/ra.1528604907
The transitions inside of the tracks on Future Sex/Love Sounds were out of this world! But big ups and mad respect to this man’s whole career. One of the best to ever do it.
What goes around comes around. Masterpiece
👏👏👏👏
Ty yes!!!👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻🫶🫶
25 seconds in and i've got a big smile on my face and have already laughed once. What a legend JT is
Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are such an underrated duo. Suit and tie will always be one of my favorite songs.
Holy Grail
JT & Hov co-headlining the Legends of the summer tour. When it came through B'Mo city. What a show.
@@pearlgracestillpearl7441 under-rated? I don't think this adjective goes with both of them
@NehaDhiman I named a song. That’s it. The complaint department is somewhere else.
HOLY GRAIL ALSOOIO
I need an UNCUT 3 hour version of this!
Future sex/Love sounds and the 20/20 experience were both amazing albums so many tracks I still play today.
MIRRORS is a stroke of genius.. DUDE!!!
Hoped to hear a bit more about What Goes Around... / ...Comes Around
I’m hoping this is just a highlights video and there’s a full version
I know right! I was like get to the ending where the key changes!! its so good!
My all time favourite
Hope someone reads this review 💪Always healthy💪 📚Easy to learn📚 💏There will be a lover right away💏 💲Make a lot of money💲 I just made youtube, hope you support me, thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
20/20 is one of the classics. Those beats were insane. Deserves so much more credit. Let The Groove Get In, Tunnel Vision, Strawberry Bubblegum, TKO, Amnesia, Don't Hold The Wall, Gimme What You Want, so many more underrated gems
20/20 is one of my favourite albums ever, all these years later
Damn yes! Strawberry bubblegum is awesome
I love all albums, but yeah, 2020 is another level, so good musics, love them all
Mirrors was crazy that last part of the 8 minutes insane!
You got it on is one of my favorites
Love two people just have that overwhelming passion for music.
How could they not talk about “mirrors”?
Right ? My fave
I agree
omg mirrors is that song that just sticks with me no matter how old I’ll get beautiful song and album ❤️
How could they not talkt about „My Love“ ?
Just thought the same when it was ending. Mirrors is kinda magic song that sticks in every mind.
Justin Timberlake is the best to ever do it! His live shows are unlike anything! We love you JT!
Bruno Mars
@@drewviz5102 not even close
Love Bruno Mars, and others over the years, but... (SEE ABOVE in General COMMENTS) 👈✊✌️
Michael jackson
@@elliekb8067 compare their superbowl performance
Justin Timberlake said " I'm bringing sexyback " and truer words haven't been spoken since.
GAGAGAGAGAGAGA I just saw something very unpretty! I looked in the mirror! GAGAGAGAGAGAGA!! But I am the cool KZheadr with two hazardously hot girlfriends so IT is all good! Thanks for you attention dear ellie

I LOVE hearing the behind the scenes stuff on the magic and creation of these masterpieces!! I would give anything for a part 2, part, 3, etc of this interview!!!
Thank you for being part of my journey so far it because of people like you I’m where I am today Thanks for being a great fan......
@@justintimberlake255 LMFAO
JT has talent in every part of his DNA. An absolute Legend. WOW! 🔥
The interview is too short considering JT’s insane body of work, but I loved it 👍
His songs never get old! He is really talented!
"If I was Jay and I had a pig I'd name it 'Yo'!" 😂😂😂😂
Lol
11:38 crazy how he didn't feel attached to Can't Stop The Feeling yet it's become his most streamed song on Spotify by a long way. Mega hit
The last part of What Goes Around... is on another level!
Gone was basically JT first solo single technically
Facts. JC's vocals could have slayed 2nd verse, but it was all JT on that one.
I’m so glad someone mentioned Gone. His vocals were everythinggggg in that song.
Since it was supposed to be a duet with Michael originally, Michael should've hopped on the remix
@@Khymeira Justin Timberlake is Jesse Williams in blackface make up. Same person same liar!
@@ScottBott5000 I don't understand what this means.
Absolutely loved this interview! One of my favorite Justin moments especially being a Memphis kid myself! Can't Stop This Feeling for me was the 2nd coming of Happy from Pharrell! It had the same vibe and this was truly a song that transcends generations, cultures, and all walks of life to be enjoyed and sung the same no matter where you go!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"its just Justin" lmfao that whole convo was hilarious
This guy never ages.
This interview/conversation could have gone on for another 3 hours.
Full 1 hour interview is on Apple music.
"Take 'em to the chorus" equals David Byrne influence. Yo...mind blown! Great interviewer.
lmfao "I'm dangerous but not that dangerous."
I was 4 years old when I fell in love with Justin’s voice in *NSYNC. Now I’m 25 and I’m still in love with his voice. He is a LEGEND, everything he touches, turns to gold.
Amen
Justin is a musical icon. He is so talented and charismatic.
Hello Thanks for your comments, likes and Supports.
@@justintimberlake7153 I hope I get to make music with you one day. Much respect and love

Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹🎻 I have you to be most thankful for 🎻🎻🌹
What goes around comes around will forever be my favorite 💛
OMG the part about Jay'Z's pig's name killed me lol 🤣!!!
"Take Back The Night" is my jam.
Michael Jackson sound
That song is timeless to me
Justin the only guy I was ever on a concert💯 You are such a great artist
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, I’m not complete without you as my Fan I have you to be most thankful for 🎁🎁
This guy is fangirling and every interview should be this way.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It only works if the person being interviewed can go with it. Usually if you’re going to be a interviewer they expect you to be professional and not make them feel uncomfortable by acting like a fan
@@TheVANITYKILLJOY basically all celeb interviews are about being fun. It isn't 2020
Isn’t it Zane Lowe? He’s been doing it for decades
People watching this like: - in bed - not in a full screen - reading comments
Shiiiit you ain't wrong when you right, dog 🤷♂️
Glad you know 💯
Traveling by train here✋🏼
Damn ur on point
Exactly
A true legend going for over 20 years like if u cant wait for new JT
Justin Timberlake es el mejor artista pop en vida💙💙💙
That opening interlude to cry me a river is my favorite till this day when it comes on if I am in the car I am turning it up and dancing...
I've been a fan since I was 9 years old. I'm 22 now and I still listen to his music almost everyday. This man is irreplaceable♡
oh man, any notification of Justin it's already enough to make any tnkid heart stop beating 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
For real!
For sure!!
True 😭
I know I was so happy when I saw it
@@ruanneviana8075 Justin Timberlake is Jesse Williams in blackface make up. Same person same liar!
JT really is that dude! Seen him in concert 6 times and all 6 times have been unreal!
A friend and I saw him 2 nights in a row, he was amazing! Justified tour.
Omgg I am so jealous!! I was once on his Man of the woods tour. It was really something out of this world and I watched old concert videos and I just want to go back in time and be there so bad
This is so short! I want an hour of pure eargasm of them talking about JT's music! Honestly this made me smile.
""timbaland doesn't do anything offbeat""
I Really Love You Justin Timberlake. Stay Blessed J.T.
◇♡◇
Justin is a fucking legend. One of my favorite artists of all time.
That was thoroughly enjoyable to watch, man. JT is a legit legend with a career full of iconic moments and more hits than a Tyson fight 🏆 There’s a old clip of him and Pharrell somewhere on the KZheads working out the bridge to Rock Your Body that’s really cool to witness.
"more hits than a tyson fight" lol
👍🏾💣
The dude is just uber talented whether singing, talking, writing, whatever. SEEMS like a good fella to talk to as well
kzhead.info/sun/p9eymaWFpapvm4U/bejne.html here you go
Well that’s because Tyson fights only took 1 hit
Artists who my third favorite R&B singer, Justin Timberlake is influenced by: - Al Green - Arcade Fire - Brian McKnight - Chic (Band) - David Bowie (second biggest influence) - David Byrne - Elton John - Enrique Iglesias - George Michael - Janet Jackson - The Killers - Madonna - Marvin Gaye - Michael Hutchence - Michael Jackson (biggest influence) - New Edition - Pharrell Williams - Prince (Musician) - Radiohead - Robbie Williams - Stevie Wonder - The Strokes - Usher
i feel like jamming out to his older songs now
I'm a 31 year old straight guy and I fangirl over this dude like crazy! I literally can't fucking wait for the next Timberlake-Timbo collab. And they're working on it already!
Im 20 but same dude same😂😂 I feel you man
This dude has been my idol since forever, hes got everything, he's done everything, the dude is the definition of legend.
Though he don’t mention *NSYNC too much, the most iconic one is Bye bye bye.
THANK YOU
"I'm dangerous but not that dangerous" perfect description of how most people saw him at the time 😂that first album shut allot of us up though
The drums in Let the Groove Get In in the second half is SICK
Justin seems like such a sincerely great guy. Seems so humble and genuine, love this guy, and his music for years to come🥰
Thank you and you as well! I hope you have a blessed Easter and the rest of year with your family. I Look forward to hearing more great stuff from you!
@Justin Randall Timberlake Absolutely, thank you for sharing such inspiring music throughout the years!
JT was my absolute favorite artist when I was in middle school and the beginning of high school. His songs are all iconic!
Thank you for being part of my journey so far it because of people like you I’m where I am today Thanks for being a great fan....
This interview was BOMB! I really didn`t want it to end. And now i am off to listen to all of his songs on my i Pod :D LOVE YOU JT!!!
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for 👏👏👏
my boi JT let's gooo
Actual.
kzhead.info/sun/q5GuZcduqoCgdJ8/bejne.html
Love this interview. JT is a legend in his own lifetime. Love hearing how the songs were generated. TIMELESS!!!
he just melt me by speaking, not even have to sing. his voice is gold
I’ve been listening to this man for 25 years. His range and styles of music have appealed to every side of my bones. My husband treated me to VIP tickets for Man of the woods and it was emotional for me. He even gave my husband a high five..I almost fainted. My favorite hands down. The fact that he’s going to come out again with more music nothing like before is so exciting!
Oh my god after this I'm going for JT music marathon.
Fr tho🤣
Literally just lined them all up from justified to the trolls 2 album 😂

Ahhhh jt and his music. Fan for life. Nothing compares to his live shows. So much love for this guy.
This interview was so good, a great talk playing Justin’s music, it’s something that I know that I always want it ❤
How many wonderful songs! LEGEND! 💯🙌🏻
To this day, Justified is still the best musically assured, melodic and magical male POP/R&B album since Michael Jackson's Off The Wall and Thriller or even Innervisions and Songs in the key of life by Stevie Wonder. To this day, there is still not a album that tops it since 2002 for me. Maybe Bruno Mars 24K Magic album, but it's still not the same kind of vibe Justified gives me. They are both masterpieces of albums to me but Justified will always be more sentimental and nostalgic for me all time
Usher's Confessions is certainly an iconic male r&b performance of the 2000s
@@allsmilez13 Agreed it's a far bigger and more iconic album for the 2000s era. I'm a big Usher fan as well, but I would still take Justified any day of the week over Confessions. I just feel musically it's not even close. Can you really say Confessions album was "Real" music. Some of it yes, but as a whole I would say no. Justified had way better old school R&B and classic 70s and 80s pop quality music that I feel older music fans could appreciate far more. I don't know, for almost 20 years Justified gives me a totally different feeling when I listen to it that Confessions or any other Usher album no matter how good gives me. Even FutureSex/LoveSounds was far more innovative and had better Old School Prince/MJ 80s quality music on it. I'd even say Bruno Mars 24K Magic album and Pharrell Williams Girl album is musically far superior to any Usher album as a whole. Perhaps not more epic as albums but much better music overall. Most of Ushers music is just hot music for 20 and 30 somethings mostly. Not iconic quality you can put up there with Stevie Wonders best albums or Michael Jackson's best albums or even Prince's best albums. We're never gonna listen to his music on that level no matter how good some of his music is throughout his career. Not saying JT or Bruno either but at least their music recalls better classic music from the past that evokes those all time greats. Very little of Ushers music has ever done that for me
Daniel Rodriguez ever checked out the band Jamiroquai? Try their first album ‘emergency on planet earth’ From 1992. Great live band and the bassist was a beast kzhead.info/sun/Y89tf7SPn2afqKc/bejne.html ✌🏼
@@MrBillyboyroge Agreed I love Jamiroquai. To me they definitely beat JT all time. Their music is authentic sounding 70's disco and funk at it's absolute finest. Nobody can beat Jamiroquai's sound in the modern era, not even Timberlake, as great as his sound is, They're on a completely different level
What about frank Ocean or sza
I’d love to see a similar interview about his non-singles. My fav JT song is Strawberry Bubblegum.
There are so many but I just love that track.
Don’t forget Tunnel vision , so enchanting...
Body count
Yessssssssssssssss
Yes, that’s his best non-single! ❤️❤️❤️
I loved this ♥️ I really wish music was still like this 😩
Music and alot of other things are going somewhere, loving, caring, kind people shouldn't ever go.😮
One of the first pop artists to ever make me(a nu metal teen) start to take pop music more seriously. TY JT and Timbaland for changing my musical listening journey 🙏
Justin Timberlake Brasil te ama❤❤❤
This white boy here is THE BEST‼😍😍😍😂 i loveee all his music🤞
I could watch this 1000 times and it will never get old!
