!!Tropes:
* GenreBusting: What made Timbaland stand out among his peers at the time was the heavy EDM influence in his beats, especially in his work with Aaliyah and Ginuwine. His beats have been compared to jungle and drum and bass, though he denied being influenced by those genres.
* HipHopSoul: One of the [[TropeCodifier architects of the sound]], and is cited as the reason why hip-hop and R&B gradually took more explicit influence from electronic music.
* {{Supergroup}}: Was originally part of [=DeVante=] Swing's Swing Mob collective, which also featured Missy Elliot and Ginuwine.
