Magoo's shortcomings notwithstanding, Indecent Proposal is a must purchase for many reasons. It provides contemporary beatmakers with some more lessons in futuristic beat construction (peep "Indian Carpet"); there's a hot collaboration featuring singer-songwriter Beck in a duet with the late Aaliyah ("I'm Music"), and more lovely ballads by Aaliyah ("Love Me"). Lastly, Tim claims that he will not be releasing any more albums after this one so here's your chance to cop the last full-length recording from one of the most eclectic producers in the contemporary rap and R&B game. --Dalton Higgins

Album Description
Out of print in the U.S.! 2007 UK reissue of this 2001 album from the Norfolk, Virginia Hip Hop duo featuring Timbaland, who would soon become one of the biggest producers in the R&B and Hip Hop field. Originally released in 2001. Indecent Proposal features some of the most inventive production in Hip Hop, certainly years before it's time. Includes guest appearances from Aaliya, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Petey Pablo, Jade and others. Universal.

Album Details
Originally Released in 2001 and Provided an Outlet for their More Experimental Productions. Featuring Contributions from Jay Z, Twista and One of the Last Performances from Aaliyah.

This album doesn't really live up to the expectations of some, proving that Timbaland hasn't given his all on this album and on the contrary deciding to let his "B-side" tracks control the majority of this album.

Fortunately, Timbaland and Magoo do have some hidden beauties in the form of "All Y'all" and the sonic-filled "I am music" which does show that Timbaland can produce a few good tracks on his own work should the appropriate single be required to attract the ever-so widening audience.

Overall I recommend this album to the new generation of hip-hop lovers and the hardcore Timbo' followers but unfortunately this album has more filler than killer which could leave some listeners with an impression of someone with great potential yet to display full potential through his own work and collaborations.

Timbaland & The Posse: The Outtakes! Is what it sounds like!

This man is a Genious!

He is by far the most Innovative (Futuristic) producer of our time! I would rate the Neptunes next but Tim will be always 1st! Timbaland has been Beating ...down for the last 6, he is entitled to one mistake! I cannot believe he lacked on his own project. And where was Magoo? I was really looking forward to hearing the two comedian's bounce off one another. This album has entirely to much Petey Pablo and I really don't like his voice. Also the album comes off as a compilation of Outtakes of others albums he produced. The first 6 tracks are Hot to death and then the album takes a generic turn for the worst. Then it picks up a bit with the Tweet song "Love Me" and AAliyah's "I am Music". This really shocks me considering the first album was so creative throughout and had alot of MAgoo? This could have been a return of the Dynamic Duo and it was ruined by to many guest appearances and some spare tracks. Tims Bio, is a far more satifying effort even without Magoo's presence all the way through. We all know that Timbaland never stops Beating these Ni**az up side the head! Your still the man though everyone knows. He proved that on Missy's "Under Construction" and definitley on Justin Timberlake's "Cry me a River!" Also we must not forget the superior "MS Jade- Girl Interupted LP!" Which is Bangin' from start to finish! Timbaland probably was having Girlfriend Problems or a Kool Aid Break! Please don't "Beat" us down or hurt us to hard Tim" we know you are coming for Revenge it's already here! And it started with Ms Jade, which is a masterpiece in the Timbaland production Archieves!

I felt that Timbaland & Magoo should of came through with something more than an "Indecent Proposal"/Album is so-so/It's like a movie you want to see but can wait till it comes to video/With an array of artists on the album you would think Tim can't miss/But the beats ate the artist like praying mantis/Jay Z and Ludacris survived/Happy to be alive and tell their story/Magoo will never receive mainstream exposure/In closure, 3 stars cause Tim thrives as a beat explorer - Dimpals a.k.a "Leroy"
