Ryan saw there was a demand for Timbaland sounding songs and took the opportunity. 

Has he disrespected any women lately?

What exactly about "Rockstar" sounds like a Timbaland song?

These songs sound nothing like a timbo beat tho

These don't sound exactly like Tim, BUT I get where you're coming from …they have a similar vibe.

 

I always said "Greedy" sounds like it belongs on a 2024 version of Loose.  
 

And hell, he was Tim's protege, so it's not shocking, imo.

Timbo is an ******* but his ear for beats at one point in time remains superior to Ryan.

This is so crazy because a friend literally thought “Greedy” was “Promiscuous” when we were out last night. Apparently she’s not the only one!

i feel like Kaytranada is going to be the next Timbaland more than Ryan Tedder

Yeah it's something about the groove or drum pattern of the song.  It's not super obvious, but definitely has a hint of Loose/Promiscuous. 

Nope

greedy is very much inspired by that Timbaland soundscape in the 2000s

Did you miss your doctor's appointment to get your ears checked? Maybe it's time to spend less time here.

As a washed up producer? Yes.
