Why People Should Not Use Wikipedia As A Source
"Timbaland presents Shock Value"...his solo LP effort drops on March 27, 2007. One of these two pictures here will be the official cd cover. Now, myself as well as others have went into Wiki, trying to take down the fake cd cover someone made in two seconds to replace it with the new cover images. Someone took a pic from Tim's 2003 release and "made" a cover....leading people to believe that it's the actually print. Everytime we change it, someone changes it back. It is annoying me because people are actually believing that pic is the CD cover. I even gave them a statement saying the cover was fake...and yet and still..someone changes it back.
Peaple please be aware that everything on Wiki is NOT true.

What Most People Don't Know About Me
I am shy and extremely self conscious...I hide behind my image...I hide behind my smile...but indeed I am in a shell. I guess it is a way to save myself from being hurt, or just that I was the small town "goodie two shoes" that got ignored for years. I don't drink, I have never smoked, I am rare...and alot of people find it so hard to believe.

Tim and The "Do It" Sample Controversy
      First, I must say that I respect everyone's opinions. It is now time for me to say how I feel. It takes alot of talent to be able to sample something and turn it into a track as hot as some of the things Timbaland has done. Whether you people want to admit it or not, Timbaland has changed this industry. Whether you want to face it or not, not everyone can do what Tim can. In no way is Timbaland "God" to me...but he's a muscial genius. No matter how much you hate him, go listen to his music. NO NOT JUST JUSTIN AND NELLY. Timbaland has been around for years, and I have seen more hate coming from the people that don't even know what "The Batchelor" album was or whom the Bassment crew consisted of.
      I say, at least give the man time to answer. He's on a tour with hardly any time to even sleep for God's sake. He's not gonna stop what he's being paid to do just to satisfy a "few" people. Yeah that's right, it's a few people. It's a few because yeah this YOUTUBE and WIKIPEDIA, and DEMOSCENE army is big...but the army of dedicated fans is bigger. For every 100 that hates him, There's 500 that don't.
     I tried to keep my silence on this since frankly I am one who understand's people are intitiled to their opinions. If he did it then yes you are right, he is wrong. The key word there, is "IF". I also see some of you are turning on him or how you say "losing respect" without even knowing wtf is REALLY going on. It's crazy how people use youtube/wiki as reliable sources, and believe anything anybody says. Truth is -- you can't base the entire man's career off of this one incident. You also cannot believe just anyone. There are so many ways this could have happened...including the person getting paid under the table and just feels ripped off because "loose" went farther than they expected, so they want more.
      Some people spend a lifetime trying to get rich off of other's success, or see others fail. You also can't only allow him a week (yes its only been a week since he found out this was going on) while he's going through an extremly chaotic and hectic schedule and expecting him to stop...say omg...and hop, skip, and jump with a response.
     I am an artist, if someone steals my work I would be pissed. But If I got on youtube and forums, say some famous graphic artist stole my concept for something....it is crazy how many people would believe me, trash the person's name, and disrespect that person before even hearing his/her side. Tim is finally at a point where people are starting to give him his long over do respect in the industry...what did you think ? That this would happen smoothly with no problems?
Defeated
With that being said, I have encountered my weakness. I have encountered my downfall; The label. First, it started with Interscope records stepping in with creating a Timbaland Myspace page....when he already had one up. Feeling confused and in a situation where I faced "passing it over or risking deletion" I passed the page over to the label. In the end, I learned that Timbaland appreciated my work more than I thought. He wanted me involved with the Myspace so it ended with the label and my team ended up working together. At first I was a little iffy, but I realize now that it's a good idea. "The label" has the money and the power, while I have the communication and talent. That combined = hotness.
It would have been great if would have stopped there, yeah?
Well now I just found out they built a website...why does this bother me? Because they want it to become "The Ulimate Timbaland Desination"...(sounds familiar). I am paying out of my pocket for Tim's site to be up....so why should I continue if some one else is getting paid to do so now? I am more angry at the fact that "The Label" should have been doing this YEARS ago. I put alot of work into what I do and I have reached a point where....I am Defeated. I believe I am ready to wave the flag and give up. I will never step down from my title, and I will never stop supporting Tim. But maybe I should step back and let the label do their thing. Competing isn't helping Tim....*sigh*
Random Thoughts
He probably doesn't even notice me in that way anyway...
It's like he knows I'm here but with his surroundings, his mind is too busy to realize...
how deep this is...
Yeah, he's heard it before...
It probably doesn't phase him..
To have someone admire him like a hero...is probably nothing new to him..
I mean..look at him...
From head to toe.... he's flawless to me...
what's the difference between myself...and many other "women" that want him?
I don't care for his persona...
So I continue watching him from a distance...
Thoughts of clentching his bedsheets fill my imagination...
...I Clear my mind...I think of something else....I back away...and pretend I don't care....
so...I'll stay here and wait...
Peering through the crowd...
Dropping hints....
Days will pass......
Weeks will pass....
Months will pass.....
I will continue watching and daydreaming...
for an eternity if I must...
Only showing my feelings through my eyes....
and through my talents....
until the day comes...
Whether in this life or the next...
when all I want him to do is realize...
I love him more than any words on paper can ever express...
More than silence could love his music...
More than an empty canvas can crave colorful paints...
More than any radom thoughts could convey...
