If you see us in the club we’ll be acting real nice
"When Timbo is in the party everybody put up their hands," sings hip-hop impresario Timbaland in "GIVE IT TO ME." "I get a half a mil for my beats you get a couple grand."
Well, at least one grand. For Chillary.
Which is to say that TIMBALAND is hosting a $1,000-a-head fundraiser in Miami on March 31 for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.
And former President Bill Clinton will be in the hizz-ouse.
Contest for our readers: find the Timbaland lyrics Sen. Clinton will least likely want to be asked about.
Will the party feature Timbaland’s "Sex Beat (interlude)"?
"Ahh… it’s time to slow it down for a bit
Like this
Oooh, ahhhhhh
I call this here… take off your drawers music…
See I don’t disrespect no woman
As long as she don’t disrespect me, see what I’m sayin?
I would never call a girl, that B word
Never call you no hoe
All I wanna do is lick on your toe
And, pull off your, tight Girbauds
Ahhhhhhh, huh"
Or how about "Naughty Eye":
"Been boning girls in the Scooby Doo Van (Doo Van)
"Chicks been missing since the Summer Of Sam (Of Sam)…"
Or how about "Smoke In Da Air (feat Static)," the most off-color LYRICS from which I can’t even print here…
Word!

CPAC: Romney Struggles to Convince Voters
Obama Backs Off Birth Control Battle?
“Show me your friends, and I’ll show you who you are,” says the old adage. Nowhere does it apply more than in this ill-conceived fund-raising activity for Sen. Clinton as a guaranteed source of potential embarrassment at some yet-unspecified time in the future.
Imagine, if you will, Repub presidential nominee Rudy Giuliani asking a crowd of voters if they want Sen. Clinton to lead them while Timbaland’s “hit” is playing in the background: “You know we got plenty of smokin’/Open for ***** pokin’/Clown but we ain’t jokin’/2 pound of weed token…” I’m positive THAT impression will go over well with folks in the heartland and will encourage moderates and independents to vote for her!
As you can surmise, I’m ill-equipped to judge Timbaland’s “art,” not to mention his political influence, other than to emphatically state his “music” makes me wax nostalgic for the wit and sophistication of such classical masterpieces as “Disco Duck.”

that’s a trick question because he’s not a lyricist
Hillary has definitely increased her cool factor. Just by assocation. And this will make for good copy. Like Busta Rhymes and Martha Stewart.

Timbaland is a production group that is popular amongst younger listeners because they represent ideas without censorship, which many fans equate to being reflective of their reality.
I am not a Hillary supporter, to me she Obama, and all the rest of the candidates, both dems and reps represent a continuation of the political corruption that is destroying this nation faster than any of Timbaland’s lyrics ever could.
Having said that, If this is how Timbaland can raise money to support a candidate they believe in, how is that any worse than big oil, who make megabux from destroying ecosystems and local economies in the pursuit of oil profits supporting the reps?
If a potential voter thinks that because Timbaland speaks of enjoying marijuana that Hillary C. is goint to legalize it, then no wonder our loved ones are dying in Iraq, the voter gets what they deserve, using such superficial issues to make decisions
