damn boy i cant wait for this ish! this is my ish right here! long as you got that suit and tie. damn my boi justin done did it again!
suck that d!ck a little harder son
^^^^ And THAT is whats wrong with internet music nerds. Give somebody props for creating great music and your a dickrider. Fuck off shit-for-brains. I guess the only way to not dick ride nowadays is to hate on everything
why is this shit here
Because Timbaland, one of hip-hops most well known producers is doing the production. Because Jay-Z’s on it. Because Beyonce’s on it. Because let’s be honest JT’s songs usually run the clubs when they come out.
What the fuck do you mean why is this shit here?
“Because Jay-Z’s on it” “Because Beyonce’s on it” Wow thats amazing lol.
Drebin, what he means by why is this “SHIT” here is beacuse: Regardless of his songs being played in the clubs or who produces the album (Timbo, being as dope as he is) its still news about a mainstream r&b artist who lets face it, is mainly listened to by girls(mostly under 16)and has nothing to do with the word HIPHOP.He can sing for as many rappers as he wants but he is still r&b.
This site is called “HIPHOP”DX not r&bDX.
WOW 16 year old girls? Are you talking about NSYNC? If not you must not have heard Future Love/Sex Sounds. That album is a masterpiece. Lets face it bruh, Justin Timberlake is the Michael Jackson of our generation. Timbaland being our Quincy Jones. No disrespects to either, just calling it like I see it. NOBODY else is doing it like them, or THEM.
JT is about to do some big numbers when he releases his album. Rappers gonna be jealous.
cant wait for this jt is the dr dre of rnb
What does that even mean? Lol
^^^^^ Idon’t know but I think he said,
“jt is the dr dre of rnb” smh
“Justin Timberlake is a triple threat dude. He’s like multiple threats.” -workaholics
He needs to do a track with Eminem.
Have you ever heard Eminem 99-02 most of it was him dissing boybands primarily Justin Timberlake.
eminem also had a bunch of homophobic lyrics but he performed with Elton John soooo your point?
I’m not saying Eminem still has a problem with Timberlake, I’m saying Timberlake probably doesn’t like Eminem. Anyway Eminem doesn’t really fit on a JT song.
fuck it. do another song with tip!
I love when people still see Justin Timberlake and be like
UHH ONLY 16 YEAR OLD GIRLS LISTEN TO HIM DERP!!!!
NSYNC was out 14 years ago ya’ll, any 16 year old girl that use to listen to them is 30 now & todays 16 year old girls could give a fuck less about this guy. They have an different Justin to obsess over.
Oh, and his last album was great by R&B standards, hate if you want doesnt change reality, feel free to deny him his props because your still mad your high school girlfriend had a crush on him lol
Agreed… while I don’t really care for his own stuff myself I have not hated his guest spots and this guy worked his ass off to seperate himself from the early break he got in music with N’sync. He reinvented himself like 10 years ago but some can’t stop hatin for the sake of doing so. I am in no hurry to buy this new album honestly but I will give credit where it is do… kid has worked to get himself to where he is at today and its to bad some will trash him for the sake of doing so.
Nice! finally some real R&B music. Looking forward to this
more like Pop music but whatever
R&B coming from a member of N’Sync………..
I would actually define most of his solo stuff as Contemporary R&B & Adult Contemporary but whatever.
Justin Timbergay
mature
remember when he pulled Janet Jackson’s tit out and then hid from the press and allowed her to take all the heat for it? pretty much sums this guy up. oh, and that homosexual People magazine wedding cover photo. corny ass cracker
Remember when you did nothing with your life… ever.
ok im fucking tired of you fucking lames saying ” oh remember when he did this?” or that shit man even if it is true or not man shut the fck up…ninjas wanna listen to this mans music not fucking know how green this man really is (which can be possibly be true), also in an industry like this…DUH..what? yall ninjas think the music industry and entertainment industry are a walk in the fcking park?! nah bro. In this so called “industry” people gotta be grimy, take any advantage, and go on with it, whether its color of race or not, or relevancy or hype. ITS DO OR DIE NINJA!!! Like i said…this industry is shady. i hate it myself but yall ninjas gotta shut the fuck up about what grimy shyt he did to janet and enjoy this man. Everybody is too stuck about “what he did on this on that”. Just Enjoy La Musica.
is it just me, or is “ninja” somehow more offensive than using the n-word?
Also, 10 years from now Abstract will be dick riding the “reinvented” Bieber.
Good one.
As long as people put out good music what’s the problem liking them, so if Bieber put out good music what’s the problem liking it?
Try and answer maturely…
Hip Pop DX?
To all the people complaining about this being pop, I would personally say it’s definitely more r&b/soul than anything else
Dope album overall. Really feelin the production..I feel like Timbaland has definitely stepped his game up once again and came with something innovative like FutureSexLS, but on a different frequency. You can hear some MJ inspiration sprinkled on the album as well.
I agree. Timbaland’s beats have been nothing special over the past few years but he seems energized this time around. Looking forward to this album.
Album is fuckin dope front to back! But i must say DX…is this hip-hop? Dah well.
this album is beyond dope right now, but if he woulda had a Ja Rule feature on this shit tho guaranteed platinum first week sales!!
“That Girl” is the best R&B track I’ve heard in the last 5 years, and arguably the best since D’Angelo’s plethora of gems on Voodoo. Timbaland and JT are both phenomenal throughout the whole album. The only issue I have with it is that the last track doesn’t really get HUGE like I feel it should, but it’s a small problem.
And to those complaining that this is a Pop post or whatever, I’d argue, to a degree, that Future and Drake are almost as much Pop artists as Timberlake is. People like Rihanna and Chris Brown are definitely purely Pop artists. This record is an R&B record with heavy Pop and Hiphop influence.
It surely blows every other “R&B” or Hiphop Alternative project by anyone in the last 5 years, with the exception of Beyonce’s work, out of the water. Frank Ocean, Miguel and Alicia Keys can’t even hold a flame to this record.

Full Leak^^^
I’m buying this!!
Funny that Justin Timberlake is making better R&B than Usher, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown right now!lol Not that I don’t think Usher and Ne-Yo have some dope albums but Justin has already put out two records that murder their albums in my opinion.
I have to co-sign that, especially with Ne-Yo and Chris Brown falling into this techno, dance, dubstep mess.
as much as his music might be dope..
this guy has offended MJJ in so many ways, while he knows that MJJ is his biggest inspiration.
I for one aint cool with that, JT wouldnt even exist withouth MJJ. SO FUCK THIS GUY, Hes a BITCH!
fucking fraud
This ain’t Rick The C.O. Ross mane!!
U Guys cant be serious.
this what MJ gets after all he has done for everyone on the planet? Get your shit right NIGGAZ.
or aren’t u NIGGAZ?
(no racist shit, so fuck off)
OK fuck you & MJ too
Yes fuck you and MJ too
lol he looks goofy as fuck in that cover
If you’re talking about the second picture at the top of the page, that is not the cover.
Finally!!!! A CD I can go purchase. Say what you say but this Guero makes good music!!!
Sound like a solid album.
Guess he wants his spot back while Robin Thicke gets that TV money
Robin Thicke ain’t got shit on Justin Timberlake!
During our “Most Embarrassing” album discussion, someone brought up buying a Justin Timberlake album. Nay good sir, I say be proud about listening to JT! As fucking unlikely as it once seemed, the man has morphed into a legitimately funny actor who also makes some damn good pop/R&B music.
In other words, don’t worry about it, you can stream JT’s upcoming “20/20 Experience” album right now and not feel like less of a man. People become pop stars because they make music both women and men can admit they straight up enjoy, and Timberlake is a legit pop star.
Enjoy…
Why is this so fucking good.
He made grown folks music. He made kiddie stuff. He made teen music. He made kicking it in the club music. Now it’s that grown folks music. You can hear his music growing with him. He also has 1 set producer who knows him & what sounds he’s looking for. I’d rather have a great Artist/Producer duo than an Artist/Artist duo.
Dream Collab:
Drake featuring Justin Timberlake (Produced by Timbaland, co-produced by Boi-1da)
you’re a faggot. or at least i hope you’re a girl
JT is killin these R&B niggas! oh wowzers can’t wait to cop this one!
Any negative comments on this album would be the words of a musically deaf, dumb, and ignorant child. This fucking album has all the elements of a classic. If you can’t hear it then you need to just give up on music or just stay tuned to that young money/chief keef/whatever garbage you’re listening too cus this shit is on that super molly. Color need not be a factor…and if you wondering, I’m dark enough to be in a Rick James skit. March 19th I”m coppin.
this is the most ignorant, snobbish, self righteous thing ive ever heard from a music fan. wow. youre digusting.
Ok? Take that, melt it down into a bullet sized particle, and kill yourself. You’re obviously an avid fan of trash.
I REALLY LIKE JUSTIN,,,REALLY WANTED THIS CD TO BE GOOD,,,
IT ISN’T(as a whole),,,
A BIG LETDOWN,,,7yrs AND TO COME BACK WITH 10 OVERBLOATED SONGS IS CRAZY,,,
PUSHER LOVE
SUIT & TIE
STRAWBERRY
THAT GIRL
THE REST ARE EITHER TOO BUSY OR LYRICALLY CORNY
THE 2ND PART OF THE SONGS SOUND BETTER THAN THE ACTUALLY SONGS
THIS CD SHOULD BE CALLED
TIMBERLAKE IN TIMBERLANDS
BRING BACK PHARRELL/NEPTUNES OR OTHER RPRODUCERS
This album is his best! The lyrics have even more meaning this time around. The production and vocals are top notch! Loving every single song.
THIS CD IS A BIG LETDOWN AND FAR FROM CLASSIC

THE 2ND PART OF THE SONGS SONG BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL SONGS
PUSHER LOVE GIRL
SUIT AND TIE
STRAWBERRY
THAT GIRL
STAND OUT,,,THE OTHERS ARE JUST TIMBERLAND BEATS FEATURING JUSTIN
you people don’t have a clue the the album cover and tittle say its all J/T 20/20 experience this is basically a joint album with Justin timberlake and timbaland. you get the best of both justin songs and vocals and then timbaland doing a beat change and giving you what he does. all i know is timbaland has been doing this style of music with beat changes from hum from jump. nice to see it back and productions sounding so good from this man. i though he had lost it or while.. its nice to hear the beats riding out sometimes. good music
