There are definitely a few advantages to being a Timbaland protégé. He's obviously got a rich hip-hop history, and a serious catalogue of beats, which Tink has benefited from. In addition to getting some pretty hot beats from Timbo (like on "Around the Clock" and "Ratchet Commandments"), she's also been able to safely re-make an Aaliyah classic. When Drake attempted to do this without a Timbo and Missy co-sign there was definitely some backlash, but with Timbaland's blessing, the Chicago artist has re-worked "One In A Million" with "Million."
Does it work, though? Are you thinking Tink yet?
Quotable Lyrics
Your love is like a back rub when I back up
Can you catch what I throw down
Your love is what I breathe from
I would go now if you left me here right now
Our love gets stronger when we break up
We be right back in no time
