With partner Magoo, he is a member of hip-hop group Timbaland and Magoo.
Timbaland and Magoo's second album together, Indecent Proposal, had been scheduled for release in November 2000, and was to feature appearances by Beck, Aaliyah, and new Timbaland proteges--some of whom were signed to his new Beat Club Records imprint--Ms.
On the label are singers Nelly Furtado and Keri Hilson, and rapper D.O.E. Timbaland's parternship and mentorship of upcoming producer Nate "Danjahandz" Hills is evident in Timbaland's rejuvination in music.

 Review of Timbaland and Magoo's Indecent Proposal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Magoo does his thang, he does good do, “Live in a mansion, next to Hanson” Whatever, it still sounds ok, naw it sounds tight, this is the perfect club song, the perfect song when you just chillin’, this is an awesome single.
Magoo is his usual annoying self, and the beat don’t cancel him out, although the beat is good.

Rapper McGruff debuted in 1995 on Big L's Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous and also appeared with Heavy D on Monifah's "I Miss You." Signed to his own contract, for Uptown/Universal, the Harlem rapper dropped his debut single, "Before We Start," in early 1998.

 Timbaland
His solo and co-led releases are not usually his best work, partly because he insists on rapping instead of staying at the controls (see Jermaine Dupri) and partly because his cohort Magoo is squeaky and annoying, but there are always at least a couple of gems to be found.
Which is a good thing, because Timbaland is an incredibly bad rapper, lacking presence (most of his vocals are heavily filtered, as if he were talking through a phone) and unable to construct a coherent lyric (sample "rhyme": "Got to keep it radio friendly/So everyone in America can hear me").
Magoo projects a little more personality ("Clock Strikes"), but his whiny schoolboy voice is grating, particularly when he's indulging in clichéd boasting about his sexual performance - which is often.

 Rakim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rapper said he was unaware of the warrant, but he agreed to pay $2,000 in child support for his 14 year-old son.
As music journalist Dima Leybman has observed, many recent rappers (both underground and mainstream) acknowledge a huge debt to Rakim's innovative style; one of his more prominent fans include Nas, who dedicated a song to Rakim, "U.B.R. (Unauthorized Biography of Rakim)", on his album, Street's Disciple.

This new one from timbaland and magoo is the best cd that they did out of the three they have done so far.
For some reason magoo sounds like snoop dogg on this and sin sounds like a biggie imitation but the track is still good.
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.

The Norfolk-born Magoo first met his super producer partner back in 1988, introduced by a high school friend who said this guy Timbaland knew something about production and DJ-ing.
Around the time of their meeting, Magoo was still busy pursuing work as a dancer; rapping was a developing talent he kept under wraps.
In that way Timbaland and Magoo create in an atmosphere free of pre-conceived limits and stylistic boundaries.

 RelishNow | Net-cees take the rappers' word battles to the Web
Some online rappers use cheap music-editing software to battle one another with actual songs; others, who call themselves text-cees, simply type their rhymes.
As the rappers started going at it more often, Maldonado and his friends developed house rules: Site administrators set the length of the rhymes, the battlers had 72 hours to post, and the rapper who earned the best of five votes from the online audience was declared the winner.
Because online rappers' opponents are invisible and largely unknown, it takes some creativity to come up with truly personal put-downs.
