El Hip Hop, género musical y cultural, tiene sus raíces en la comunidad afroamericana y latina de los años 70 en el Bronx, Nueva York. La música Hip Hop se caracteriza por su ritmo y poesía hablada en forma de rap, acompañada frecuentemente de beats electrónicos y samples de otras canciones. La cultura Hip Hop también incluye elementos como el breakdance, el graffiti y el DJing.
Las letras del Hip Hop a menudo tratan temas sociales y políticos, como la desigualdad, la discriminación y la violencia en las comunidades urbanas. También se utiliza para expresar identidad y orgullo cultural. El Hip Hop ha evolucionado y se ha diversificado en subgéneros como el gangsta rap, el conscious rap y el trap, entre otros.
El impacto del Hip Hop en la cultura popular es significativo en todo el mundo, no solo en la música, sino también en la moda y el lenguaje. Muchos artistas de Hip Hop se han convertido en íconos culturales y han utilizado su plataforma para promover la justicia social y la igualdad.
Timbaland (nacido como Timothy Z. Mosley el 10 de marzo de 1971 en Norfolk, Virginia) es un productor estadounidense de R&B y hip hop y rapero cuyo estilo ha influido en ambos géneros. Con el rapero Magoo fue miembro del grupo de hip hop Timbaland & Magoo. Timbaland es similar a productores como Phil Spector, Brian Eno o Norman Whitfield en que han ayudado a redefinir el sonido de un género musical entero con un estilo de producción inmediatamente reconocible. Las canciones que produce se caracterizan por su sonido e instrumentación, vinculados por una marca registrada de espacio y ritmo. Como ocurre con Spector y Whitfield, las producciones de Timbaland a veces eclipsan al cantante y convierten al productor en la "estrella" real de la canción. Con los cantautores Steve "Static" Garrett y su amiga de la infancia Missy Elliott, Timbaland ha ayudado a crear algunas de las canciones más exitosas de la música R&B y Hip Hop moderna y urbana, incluyendo singles para Aaliy...
Have we meet somewhere, baby?
Hey, hey
We fuss we fight your fault my fault
We was on the same team least thats what i thought

You cant talk that shit
You cant travel to the future if you walk backwards
Once you walk out the door, you cant walk back in
We gotta find a way to solve it, think about our kids

You want me to cop that plead and say ok im wrong?
Things are gettin heavy but i gotta stay strong
I try to talk it over with you when i coulda been gone because

I told you once, i told you twice
And now my shoulders cold, like a block of ice
You playin games like you rollin dice
Hey what you know about sacrifice?
Baby ive been in the middle
I've been givin you more than a little
Had the ball then you double dribble
I guess that love is a riddle
You never listen i dont ever get my point across
I washed ya dirty draws, you out with dirty broads
You did me dirty dawg, cos yous a dirty dog
It's a quit n call, and i aint mad at all
I gave you more than you deserve, i was worth it all
Bottom line i hope you find what your searchin for
You hurt me, said i hurt you
And i complain about the things that you dont do
And i dont wanna take the blame niether do you
We got too much to lose
We gotta meet in the middle
