Timberlake's 'Sexyback' Makes Men Question Their Sexuality

Justin TimberlakeHip-hop super-producer Timbaland thinks that the massive Justin Timberlake hit "SexyBack" -- which he produced -- might make an otherwise straight man question his sexuality. As he tells Blender magazine, "Some people listen to a song like 'SexyBack' and think, am I queer?Am I funny? If you are that way, you're just that way. But if you're a masculine man, embrace it. Have a glass of wine, put the record on, invite your girl over to get sexy." (Did he say a glass of wine?)
Timbaland, who also produced another summer mega hit, Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous," reflects on the tough financial times that the hip-hop industry is suffering. "There was a time ... like '97, '98, back when the industry was hot that I was getting $300,000 a track. And I was doing 10 tracks every two weeks! [Now] I stay in the digits, but it's nowhere near where it was."
But the producer has a distinctly un-masculine view of things when it comes to cheesy, cloying ballads. "I think 'Time After Time' is probably the best ballad ever besides maybe that 'Titanic' song," he declares.
