Timothy Zachery Mosley (born March 10, 1972), known professionally as Timbaland, is an American record producer, rapper, singer, songwriter, and record executive. He has received widespread acclaim for his innovative production work and distinctive “stuttering” rhythmic style.

In 2007, Timbaland released a solo album, Shock Value, which was followed by Shock Value II in 2009. Timbaland’s production credits during the 2000s also include work with Jay-Z, Nas, Ludacris, Missy Elliott, Bubba Sparxxx, Madonna, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, OneRepublic, Brandy, Drake, Björk and others.

10. Ayo Technology (Curtis, 2007)
“No QUESTION about it, easily the best song he’s ever been involved in. This has the best beat and Justin Timberlake makes this one of the best songs in all of 2007.”
9. Carry Out (Shock Value II, 2009)
“Carry Out is a cool song from Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. It is very catchy especially the chorus. But if you listen to it too much you can get a little bit sick of it.”
8. Elevator (Once Upon a Time in 2008, 2015)
“Still to this day, this hook stays in my head. Flo might have lost his pure rap roots he’s always making dance/pop songs now but no denying this guy can make a timeless banger!”

7. One and Only (Shock Value, 2007)
“The remainder of the CD has Timbaland teaming up with random rappers and rock groups in order to create some of the more interesting tracks in hip-hop today. Teaming up with ultra-popular pop-punk band Fall Out Boy on `One and Only’ was a brilliant step. In fact `One and Only’ is one of the best tracks on the album.”
6. Say It Right (Loose, 2006)
“The reason why it’s so timeless is because her singing is carrying most of the melody. There’s just simple beats in the background which really makes the singing shine”
5. Pass at Me (Pass at Me, 2011)
“This song is actually pretty good in its genre of dance hall. I love the modern references. Timb has always been awesome. This music collaboration of Timbaland and Pitbull for this Pass At Me song is very sizzling and amusing to listen to.”

4. 4 Minutes (Hard Candy, 2008)
“4 MINUTES was the first single from Madonna’s Hard Candy album. The song is a very energetic radio friendly track that stays in your head. After being ignored by U.S. radio stations with her last 2 albums American Life, and Confessions on A Dance Floor, Madonna decided to take a different direction and work with hit makers Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.”
3. If We Ever Meet Again (Shock Value II, 2009)
“This songs raise my moment of happiness and makes rejoice every time I listen to it. This is one of the best songs from Timbaland with Katy Perry adding elegance. Katy Perry and Timbaland rock in this song.”
2. The Way I Are (Shock Value, 2007)
“The best song he ever produced, fantastic beat on this, it’s between this and Apologize for top spot but I’d say this should be top since Apologize is a One Republic song. This will always be his best song because of the legendary beat it has, the genius lyrics, the catchy chorus and the awesome singers in it.”
1. Apologize (Shock Value, 2007)
When I heard this version with Timbaland existed I wasn’t impressed because I thought the song was already good but you know what? He really adds something, I can’t say for sure what it is but it makes an already cool song even better. I never get tired of listening to it and his haunting backing vocal just fits it perfectly.”
