You have to sit through 1:40 of Timbaland rapping over chants of “My Love” before the video version of this cut gets to what Timba does best — cook beats that wear through your ironic mugging and have you bounce side to side. It’s not wrong to like this song. (Right?) The clip is standard empty-set-with-group-choreography pop-hop fare, but the ladies can look at JT and guys can, well, they can listen.

Fellas, find yourselves doing more than just listening? Timbaland says it’s okay! In speaking about JT, he told Blender:

Some people listen … 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 ? get sexy. ?Cause you might get some drawers off. Trust me ? I know what I?m talking about.

If that makes you feel better.

  5. TimberMo  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    I freaking hate that song. Repetitive computer generated crap.

  6. Alec  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    i love that song. i don’t fuckin’ care.

  7. a is for applebits  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    I hate that I love Timbaland these days…anyway, the video and video version are boring.

  8. danni_bauer  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    i love that i love this song. timberlake is good shit. love what you love, dont deine because it is consider uncool…because jt is cool. peace homies

  9. There were some nice synth licks, I can appreciate that.

    Having said that, it is only a matter of time before Justin corrects Michael’s wrongs and operates himself into a fully black man.

    Ahh. Justin Timberlake. The modern day micheal jackson does it again. I really don’t want to like this song but it’s like crack. And crack is whack but in the end crack is your baby momma.

  11. Alex  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    Yo, I did what Timba said and brought my girl over, kicked back with a glass of wine, and played that video. My girl threw a Built to Spill album at me and left. Yo, that’s cold.

  12. seiche  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    I just can’t get past his voice, it’s like nails on a chalkboard for me. I really want to like it, I do, because the beats are sick, but that voice just kills it for me.

  13. J Cool  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    Justin does have a pretty mouth.

  14. Claytron 1985  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    This shit is insane. It’s funny that homeboy denounced “computer-generated crap” while using a keyboard; what a fucking closeted JT fan. You know you love it douchebag…I mean, your girl was diggin’ it last night while I had her bent over the speaker with JT’s soft crooning in the sails of our love-boat, gently sailing to orgasmland.

    P.S. Best T.I. verse since “Rubbaband Man”

  15. dudesweet  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    By “Computer Generated Crap” I think he meant forwarding thinking, original and a great relief from all the 70′s nostalgia music that passes for indie rock

  16. calliwell  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    I can’t explain why I’m liking the Timberlake either. Congrats Justin, now don’t fuck this up stick with the Cam Diaz and say no to the plans of having a theme park in your backyard.

  17. FU kids  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    Claytron, you wigga bitch.

  18. No Fudge  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    You have to be a serious fudge packing flamer to like this song.

  19. Full disclosure, I like the new Justin’s.

  20. I love this song, and I wish they hadn’t put the intro from the CD in the video. Overall, this is the best song on the album. And T.I. definitely stole the show on this one.

  21. that song sucks.

  22. kylie  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    i’m a fan of the song too. can’t help it. the beat is just fantastic. hell, i like the whole album. there, i said it.

  23. allison  |   Posted on Oct 12th, 2006

    do you guys WANT me to kill myself??!?

  24. Why would you have to be a “serious fudge-packing flamer” to like this song?

    I mean, I AM, but still…

  25. eh. i mean, it’s not terrible (the song, that is– the video sucks), but it’s not great. the beats, i think, are actually sort of boring. Timbaland could do and has done way better. same goes for JT. overall a pretty boring song.

  26. joe $  |   Posted on Oct 13th, 2006

    all dudes like justin. it’s cool. he’s cool. we’re all cool.

  27. I’m so pleased other people are closet JT fans!!! I’m not alone. I didn;t really love the first album but (rock snob and all) the new stuff is just so infectious, in a good way.

    If liking JT is wrong then I don’t want to be right.

  28. jack gallo  |   Posted on Oct 13th, 2006

    I think stereogum just jumped the shark.

  29. God I hope you are being ironic…

  30. JT brings sexy back. If you liked this you should buy the tribute to JT, nothing but classics:

  32. Jigga Butt  |   Posted on Oct 15th, 2006

    I you love this song, then you love your buttplug.

  33. Physchoanalyst  |   Posted on Oct 15th, 2006

    It sounds to me like there are a bunch of closet homosexuals posting on this message board. Liking certain kinds of music does not make one a homosexual. Constantly calling others homosexuals and bashing homosexuals on the other hand does lend itself to a sort of latent homosexuality.

    YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

  34. JTate  |   Posted on Oct 16th, 2006

    Come on people….both Timbo and JT are freakin talented and know what sells. I dont see anybody else doing it! The dancing is on point and the beats and vocals are far from boring or homo.Anybody that has any sense of music appreciation knows that. “Lean wit it” and “Walk it out” are for homos….finally some music with some thought put into it is out. I dont know about others but I would take Justins spot n a second!

  35. bakukealuke  |   Posted on Oct 16th, 2006

    dude, i like, totes love this song! the verse sucks but if you don’t like the chorus, you’re like wicked weird.

  43. David  |   Posted on Oct 18th, 2006

    I think it is hilarious that some of these postings such as the “fudge-packing flamer” guy are sooo wrapped up in thinking if you like this music you are gay hahaha I think you gotta do some growing up, it’s good stuff…it’s not for everyone but it’s good music to dance to and he is growing as an artist and guys you gotta get over this music association with sexuality..this comment is brought to you by a gay male who likes rap..WAIT does that make me straight? haha
