Justin Timberlake's Top 5 Songs (+ Our Favorite *NSYNC Track)
Justin Timberlake's solo catalog spans six albums and two decades, so narrowing it down to five songs apiece is no easy task. On this episode of 50 for 50, hosts Mike Joseph and Garrett Gonzales each bring their Top 5 Justin Timberlake songs to the table and defend their picks — a mix that spans "SummerLove," "Mirrors," "Love Never Felt So Good," "Rock Your Body," "Not a Bad Thing," "Can't Stop the Feeling!," "Cry Me a River," "Until the End of Time," "Suit & Tie," and "My Love."
It's less a definitive ranking and more a real argument about what actually makes a Timberlake song great — the Timbaland-and-Danja futurism of the FutureSex/LoveSounds era, the Neptunes' funk-pop chemistry, or the raw vocal moments that don't need a big beat to land. Mike and Garrett also run through the songs that just missed their lists, and — because no Justin Timberlake conversation is complete without it — each names his favorite *NSYNC song.
This episode pairs with our full Man of the Woods deep dive, where Mike and Garrett cover Timberlake's entire career: the *NSYNC years, the Justin-vs-JC Chasez solo race, the Pharrell/Timbaland production breakdown, and a full track-by-track dive on Man of the Woods itself.

00:10.425 --> 00:23.666
[SPEAKER_01]: We are back with the top five on the Justin Timberlake catalog and instead of doing the rock with it, stop with it.
00:24.900 --> 00:47.026
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of just wanted to think about like how deep, like if we had a top 10, like what missed the cut for you, that is not on your top five, because I found some songs, I was like, gosh, you know, I didn't realize how many Justin Timberlake songs that I considered to be just like top shelf songs.
00:47.426 --> 00:50.187
[SPEAKER_01]: And so there was a little bit of a fight to get into my top five,
00:51.728 --> 01:03.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, as we recorded our original episode, I've been picking up my notebook in like re-ordering things because you're like mentioning songs and I'm like, oh, I forgot about that.
01:04.998 --> 01:14.646
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's, I mean, first of all, there's no in-sync songs in my top five which like I probably could have done a top five of just in-sync songs.
01:14.766 --> 01:19.270
[SPEAKER_01]: What in-sync songs are your, get me your two favorite in-sync songs?
01:20.354 --> 01:30.278
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say this I promise you, I just think that's a beautiful love song, beautiful wedding song, like shout out to Richard Marks who wrote that song.
01:31.878 --> 01:36.320
[SPEAKER_00]: And we talked about Brian McNight earlier in the song that he has on celebrity called Selfish.
01:36.340 --> 01:38.000
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's probably my second favorite in
01:45.265 --> 01:46.386
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, on perfect.
01:46.807 --> 01:47.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:47.607 --> 01:54.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, instead of imperfect, they use the one unperfect in that song.
01:56.096 --> 01:56.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:56.816 --> 01:57.717
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know,
01:59.357 --> 02:20.797
[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird like it hits a weird chord when you hear it the first time you're like, why do you say that instead of imperfect, um, but I don't know, I mean, I don't know the reasoning behind that and it's anybody can find Brian McKnight under whatever rock he's in under, uh, did he like get to horse or some, he's he's a bad person, man, like, I don't know, he's just turned, yeah.
02:22.047 --> 02:27.508
[SPEAKER_00]: My lasting association with Brian McKnight will be Johnny Gil was on.
02:27.528 --> 02:28.988
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was on Quest Love Supreme.
02:30.169 --> 02:39.751
[SPEAKER_00]: And Quest Love As soon as it ever musician that you played on a bill with, that you wanted to like beat the crap out of.
02:39.891 --> 02:44.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this had Johnny, Johnny had to be like, hey, I'm gonna come on this show.
02:44.972 --> 02:46.772
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like Brian McKnight, you set me up.
02:47.392 --> 02:48.093
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
02:48.193 --> 02:49.573
[SPEAKER_00]: And Johnny Gil was like,
02:50.613 --> 02:58.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't stand run, so, you know, there's, uh, R&B Uncle Beef.
02:58.717 --> 02:59.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
03:00.278 --> 03:08.462
[SPEAKER_01]: I think my two favorite songs of InSync are, it's going to be me and maybe girlfriend.
03:09.303 --> 03:09.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
03:10.283 --> 03:13.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I, I, I, I feel like,
03:15.485 --> 03:21.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I like it when there's the other song, which is really only J.C.
03:21.648 --> 03:24.550
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's with black bringing it all to me.
03:24.570 --> 03:32.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's like there's a, anytime where I get those guys to kind of just sit in the pocket and groove, like I love, I love that stuff from in sync.
03:33.515 --> 03:34.736
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
03:34.816 --> 03:35.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
03:35.176 --> 03:36.957
[SPEAKER_00]: So in shout out to J.C.
03:36.997 --> 03:38.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause J.C. is such a dope singer.
03:39.058 --> 03:39.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
03:40.679 --> 03:41.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
03:41.439 --> 03:42.720
[SPEAKER_01]: He's what could have been, man.
03:45.091 --> 03:50.477
[SPEAKER_01]: What still could like maybe, you know, if they do do a in sync reunion, he can kind of get his again.
03:50.497 --> 03:51.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
03:52.519 --> 03:54.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right, let's talk about this top five.
03:54.701 --> 03:57.525
[SPEAKER_01]: So the some of the songs that fell outside of mine.
03:58.586 --> 03:59.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Still on my brain.
04:00.878 --> 04:06.902
[SPEAKER_01]: which is from his justified that was my favorite of the slow jams on that song.
04:07.642 --> 04:18.409
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you mentioned selfish that was right outside of my top five, but I didn't really want to include in sync songs, but if I did, that would have been right there.
04:20.710 --> 04:25.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Love stone, losing my way, those songs were also there as well.
04:26.594 --> 04:28.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Can I say I cheated with my list?
04:30.836 --> 04:38.350
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a song that when we get there, I think you're probably going to roll your eyes at me of what I added to my top five.
04:38.450 --> 04:40.133
[SPEAKER_01]: But if I'm being honest with myself,
04:41.364 --> 04:46.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, it deserves to be there based on what I enjoy about Justin Timberlake songs.
04:47.510 --> 04:50.353
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be like his version of September by Earth when it fired.
04:50.393 --> 04:50.593
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
04:50.813 --> 04:50.993
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
04:51.114 --> 04:53.416
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably, you may even think it's worse, but okay.
04:53.496 --> 04:53.656
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
04:53.696 --> 04:54.136
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
04:54.156 --> 04:55.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's, let's kick it off.
04:55.157 --> 04:55.698
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll start.
04:56.339 --> 04:56.779
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
04:57.440 --> 05:01.884
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm kicking it off with not a bad thing from the 2020 experience.
05:03.225 --> 05:03.906
[SPEAKER_01]: There are.
05:05.136 --> 05:06.856
[SPEAKER_01]: some songs of Justin's.
05:06.896 --> 05:16.879
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, you know, I actually, I wanted to ask you this on the actual episode for Man in the Woods, but there's a song called Drink You Away.
05:18.759 --> 05:29.122
[SPEAKER_01]: And that kind of sort of wonder if he saw how people reacted to Drink You Away, which I think was like one of the last singles on on that album.
05:29.142 --> 05:29.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:30.202 --> 05:37.444
[SPEAKER_01]: And it kind of got co-opted by different markets of music.
05:38.245 --> 05:45.027
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wonder if that was kind of like, oh, I can act my next, one of my next albums, I'm going to lean a little bit harder that way.
05:45.047 --> 05:45.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Be harder into it.
05:45.927 --> 05:48.648
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, drink you a ways how the whole Stapleton connection started.
05:50.295 --> 05:51.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and that's a good song.
05:51.855 --> 05:52.576
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that song.
05:52.616 --> 05:53.716
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I forgot about that.
05:53.736 --> 05:59.518
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another song I forgot about, but it's funny because not a bad thing was initially in my top five and I kicked it out as we were talking.
05:59.678 --> 05:59.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
06:00.058 --> 06:11.501
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's, I just think it's a really, really solid track and when Justin can kind of get, you know, away from that, uh, you know, I'm too sexy for my own good.
06:11.861 --> 06:12.561
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hot shit.
06:12.581 --> 06:16.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when he can get away from that a little bit, I think I like him a lot a little bit more.
06:16.922 --> 06:17.142
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
06:19.846 --> 06:27.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, my number five is my love, I just like the production, you know, Tim Bolan can be a little uneven as a producer.
06:27.735 --> 06:30.818
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the production of that song is just so like bright.
06:32.540 --> 06:34.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, um, it, it's, um,
06:36.130 --> 07:02.052
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's just one of those songs that like, you know, it kind of like pops off this, you know, pops out of the speakers when you, when you play it, you know, it makes, I can tolerate T I on it, you know, which, one of the few times I can actually tolerate listening to him for more than like couple of seconds, but yeah, my love is is number five I just saw T I.
07:04.011 --> 07:05.653
[SPEAKER_01]: in a movie the other day.
07:05.713 --> 07:09.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have you ever seen American gangster?
07:11.260 --> 07:12.322
[SPEAKER_00]: No, the Denzel movie?
07:13.042 --> 07:13.303
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
07:14.224 --> 07:16.527
[SPEAKER_01]: He plays Denzel's nephew, who is
07:22.203 --> 07:43.056
[SPEAKER_01]: a baseball prospect and instead of going to try out and and like I think there's a meeting with the Yankees that he skips and the reason he skips it is because he sees his uncle doing big things as like the craziest drug dealer most successful drug dealer he's like I just want to be you and so he ends up working for
07:43.957 --> 07:49.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Frank Lucas and then he can shot like in the midst of of all that.
07:49.618 --> 07:52.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I was like, see, I like, what's he doing in this movie?
07:52.999 --> 07:53.879
[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot about that.
07:54.559 --> 07:55.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha, I didn't realize that.
07:57.019 --> 07:57.219
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
07:57.239 --> 08:10.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Number four, maybe my favorite of the, I want to be a 20 or 2002 version of a young Michael Jackson is rock your body from justified.
08:13.318 --> 08:19.651
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's somewhere in my top 10 would have been outside the top five, but yeah, that is, I mean, that I think is the most like
08:20.800 --> 08:29.786
[SPEAKER_00]: ball faced Michael Rift off of, you know, like the the 1981 version of Michael definitely would have done that song.
08:29.846 --> 08:35.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if the invincible he wouldn't have had you naked by the end of the song now that I would have gone somewhere else.
08:35.210 --> 08:41.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, I mean off it was like post off the wall Michael would have like that that is right in that pocket.
08:41.815 --> 08:41.955
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
08:42.375 --> 08:43.596
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so.
08:44.217 --> 08:44.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:44.397 --> 08:44.877
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what's
08:46.638 --> 08:48.218
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, another song with the rapper.
08:48.519 --> 08:49.999
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, a number four is suit and tie.
08:50.839 --> 08:55.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, like again, like it's just, it's a good vibe.
08:56.100 --> 08:56.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Jay Z.
08:57.921 --> 09:04.742
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I love Jay Jay, particularly on other people's records can sound lazy.
09:04.762 --> 09:05.302
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
09:05.402 --> 09:07.183
[SPEAKER_00]: In this case, he does not sound lazy.
09:07.223 --> 09:09.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's actually like in the pocket with Justin on this record.
09:10.684 --> 09:11.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, like again,
09:13.113 --> 09:18.694
[SPEAKER_00]: If this was 1998 or 1999, you'd be like, how Jay-Z and this hintsync dude make a record together?
09:19.214 --> 09:22.895
[SPEAKER_00]: But soon-tive actually works like it's a really good song.
09:23.635 --> 09:26.496
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, considering all M&M did was clown on these dudes.
09:27.076 --> 09:29.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, right, right, yeah.
09:29.897 --> 09:35.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah, I wonder if Chris Kirkpatrick ever do to any part of his name rhymes would get your ass.
09:35.638 --> 09:37.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess that's literally all I happen.
09:37.858 --> 09:40.259
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if Justin Timberlake and M&M have ever actually
09:42.339 --> 09:42.860
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
09:43.220 --> 09:44.180
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about that one.
09:44.981 --> 09:49.044
[SPEAKER_01]: That'd be an interesting conversation, though, because they've never worked together from what I remember.
09:49.464 --> 09:51.085
[SPEAKER_00]: Nah, nah, he wouldn't.
09:51.125 --> 09:53.167
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Eminem spent years justing in sync.
09:53.207 --> 09:54.748
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to turn around and then.
09:55.248 --> 09:56.829
[SPEAKER_00]: But 50 did a record with Justin.
09:57.950 --> 09:58.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what was that album?
09:58.970 --> 09:59.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, was that song called?
10:00.131 --> 10:01.192
[SPEAKER_00]: The AO technology.
10:01.212 --> 10:03.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.
10:04.454 --> 10:05.555
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, here's where I'm cheating.
10:05.695 --> 10:07.436
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is where you're going to realize.
10:07.456 --> 10:07.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
10:09.683 --> 10:24.256
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael Jackson many years after he passed away there was a song called love never felt so good and then they just randomly added just in timber like to the song I mean not randomly But like the song is from like how many years ago?
10:24.516 --> 10:33.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, added just in verse As if they were working together Right I like the version without just in more
10:34.976 --> 10:36.837
[SPEAKER_01]: But I still really like this version a lot.
10:37.597 --> 10:38.337
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a cool song.
10:38.557 --> 10:48.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if for what it's worth, you know, I mean, Justin and Michael had a history, and I believe Timbalen produced for remixed love never felt so good.
10:48.521 --> 10:51.201
[SPEAKER_00]: So it made sense to put Justin on it.
10:51.782 --> 10:56.763
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, if I remember correctly, gone by in sync was originally written for Michael Jackson.
10:57.143 --> 10:57.664
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no way.
10:58.164 --> 11:01.085
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, could Michael Jackson have done that
11:05.371 --> 11:05.791
[SPEAKER_00]: totally.
11:06.912 --> 11:07.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:07.152 --> 11:07.672
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
11:09.152 --> 11:09.352
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh.
11:09.993 --> 11:10.893
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an interesting one.
11:11.733 --> 11:11.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:12.313 --> 11:12.534
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
11:12.554 --> 11:13.274
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your number three?
11:14.374 --> 11:20.456
[SPEAKER_00]: My number three is until the end of time, which is on Future Sex Love Sounds towards the end.
11:22.057 --> 11:27.959
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, you know, got like a little bit of a Prince influence to it, but it's really like the only slow jam.
11:29.208 --> 11:43.594
[SPEAKER_00]: on that album, later they did a version with Beyonce, I prefer the not with Beyonce version, but that's probably my favorite song on Future Sex Love Sounds.
11:44.135 --> 11:45.075
[SPEAKER_01]: It is really good song.
11:45.715 --> 11:57.580
[SPEAKER_01]: I did the remix with the Beyonce too, but it just seems like you're just adding her on it just because you want two stars on it, rather than because it's a song that she would sound good on.
11:59.121 --> 11:59.981
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and it's crazy.
12:00.041 --> 12:19.111
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess, you know, I mean, everybody collaborates with everybody nowadays, but like the long list of artists that Justin has like written for produced for, you know, like Madonna and Beyonce and Sierra and, you know, Jay and Snoop and, you know, 50 and, you know,
12:20.331 --> 12:25.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Duran Duran and all of these different artists like he's he's Jamie Fox.
12:25.554 --> 12:32.757
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had like a decent career as like a songwriter and producer in addition to being an artist.
12:33.857 --> 12:41.221
[SPEAKER_01]: My number two is mirrors and I have a little bit of a backstory here.
12:41.281 --> 12:46.403
[SPEAKER_01]: So when my oldest son Brian when he graduated from high school.
12:49.743 --> 12:51.405
[SPEAKER_01]: with a project.
12:52.506 --> 13:04.518
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was to take all of these photos that these parents had of these children and put together the end of the summer year graduation photo thing.
13:05.599 --> 13:08.322
[SPEAKER_01]: And so there's a segment of this,
13:10.873 --> 13:24.167
[SPEAKER_01]: I came up with this idea, where because this school, some of the kids started at this school from, I think from sixth grade, all the way up to high school.
13:24.767 --> 13:25.108
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
13:25.348 --> 13:27.450
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had access to,
13:29.011 --> 13:34.074
[SPEAKER_01]: like their sixth grade photos, but then the parents also had access to like a kindergarten photo.
13:34.134 --> 13:47.882
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would I would do this like little transition of going from the kindergarten photo to the sixth grade graduation photo to the high school graduation photo.
13:48.082 --> 13:53.065
[SPEAKER_01]: And I used the song mirrors from Justin in these transition of all of these photos.
13:54.145 --> 13:56.466
[SPEAKER_01]: It came out it was it was dope the way it came out.
13:56.526 --> 14:05.531
[SPEAKER_01]: So that song whenever I hear that song it reminds me of when he graduated from high school and the thing I put together for their school.
14:06.051 --> 14:06.772
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's awesome.
14:07.972 --> 14:08.373
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
14:08.393 --> 14:10.454
[SPEAKER_00]: So all right, what's number two for you.
14:11.354 --> 14:12.555
[SPEAKER_00]: My number two is cry me a river.
14:13.255 --> 14:14.976
[SPEAKER_00]: I just like.
14:16.548 --> 14:24.714
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're going to say, if you disembodied, like that's kind of like one of the best effused songs as well.
14:24.834 --> 14:33.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Isn't it crazy how like, you know, we grew up listening to rap, this is in battle, rapping.
14:33.060 --> 14:41.526
[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes like I didn't even realize it was a was a dis and you would kind of go through the lyrics later and you learn about these beef and I'm like, Oh, that's what that was about.
14:41.726 --> 14:41.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
14:42.247 --> 14:44.468
[SPEAKER_01]: And yet some of the best
14:45.364 --> 15:03.606
[SPEAKER_01]: this is have actually been in the R&B genre because when right carry undressed eminent m&m on clown and I was like oh man I don't know if he can come back from that one he tried and then this is the you know I don't know
15:05.170 --> 15:13.795
[SPEAKER_01]: beef pop star against pop star beef doesn't sit as hard as L. O. Kooja against Kumo D. See, right.
15:13.835 --> 15:29.323
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and it's also like the guy, you know, and the girl, like there's said, there's a little bit of a thing there, but, you know, Brittany, it became part of her act for sure, because I saw her in concert once, because some of my family wanted to go.
15:29.363 --> 15:29.884
[SPEAKER_01]: So I went,
15:30.864 --> 15:43.353
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, she had her come back on stage where she was doing stuff that, you know, that, that the crowd was digging about her, her little come back, but yeah, like she didn't have a creamy or creamy river like he did.
15:44.073 --> 15:44.313
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
15:44.774 --> 15:51.158
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and, you know, it's a different game right when it's not like is beef, but this is like real beef.
15:51.178 --> 15:56.442
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like you broke my heart beef, you know, as much as, you know,
15:58.568 --> 16:07.891
[SPEAKER_00]: I considering how much tail would have suddenly been made available to Justin Timberlake at the conclusion of his relationship with Britney Spears.
16:08.511 --> 16:10.732
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't necessarily know that he was crying very much.
16:11.852 --> 16:14.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe had a bad day, and he wrote that song.
16:15.834 --> 16:20.635
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, it's beef based on like real feelings in a real relationship.
16:20.655 --> 16:22.256
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, also what that song was though.
16:22.896 --> 16:25.737
[SPEAKER_01]: It was during their relationship,
16:26.853 --> 16:32.880
[SPEAKER_01]: When it came to the solo stardom, she was a bigger star at the time.
16:33.581 --> 16:39.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And then as they were getting out of that relationship, that was adjusting.
16:40.670 --> 16:42.833
[SPEAKER_01]: And so this was like a shot of like,
16:44.326 --> 16:46.568
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not the bigger star anymore.
16:47.409 --> 16:48.469
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the bigger star.
16:49.030 --> 16:55.655
[SPEAKER_01]: So all of all of this complaining and you blaming this this then like the people like I like I'm the one now.
16:55.735 --> 17:02.320
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, that I think also there was that positioning there in inside of that song at the same time.
17:02.380 --> 17:03.220
[SPEAKER_01]: So, right.
17:03.961 --> 17:04.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, number one for me.
17:06.527 --> 17:08.429
[SPEAKER_01]: is summer love.
17:09.210 --> 17:09.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
17:09.710 --> 17:16.837
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my favorite just in Timberlick song of all that is that is I mean that's not even really like a deep cut but that's I'm surprised.
17:17.598 --> 17:29.010
[SPEAKER_01]: It I was hoping that they released it as a single and I think it did get some a radio play at some point, but yeah that was that that would when I first heard that album.
17:30.144 --> 17:32.106
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was the best song on the album.
17:32.166 --> 17:43.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that was the song where if I had a playlist, and if we're talking 2002, like whatever hip-hop I was listening to, I could throw that just in track on, because that track was hard.
17:43.855 --> 17:47.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it was like the beat was really hard too and the way that he sang that.
17:52.629 --> 17:53.429
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the line?
17:54.210 --> 17:56.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty little face on the pretty little frame.
17:56.771 --> 17:58.692
[SPEAKER_01]: And the way that he did that.
17:58.752 --> 18:02.895
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the way that it mixed into, because it was like, it wasn't actually a solo track.
18:02.915 --> 18:05.516
[SPEAKER_01]: There was like two songs that they kind of merged together.
18:06.116 --> 18:06.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
18:06.297 --> 18:08.158
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I liked that aspect of it too.
18:08.278 --> 18:10.019
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it's my favorite Justin song.
18:10.699 --> 18:11.499
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that is.
18:14.025 --> 18:19.751
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually a little kind of thrown back because I was not expecting that to To come up in the rotation.
18:19.931 --> 18:22.974
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought we had had this conversation before, but it's positive.
18:23.054 --> 18:23.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
18:24.475 --> 18:25.396
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we have.
18:25.496 --> 18:26.337
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my favorite.
18:26.357 --> 18:26.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
18:26.778 --> 18:27.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
18:27.819 --> 18:28.900
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so
18:30.055 --> 18:30.995
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your name?
18:31.315 --> 18:33.196
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite is actually can't stop the feeling.
18:33.916 --> 18:35.517
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, the trolls.
18:35.977 --> 18:36.717
[SPEAKER_00]: The trolls song.
18:36.877 --> 18:47.740
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I've never seen trolls, but that song, and you know, I think it's a little tainted now because it came out in 2016 and then the end of 2016 just fucked everybody's heads up forever.
18:47.800 --> 18:48.600
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
18:49.160 --> 18:56.322
[SPEAKER_00]: But that song is such like a, like a such a bop and it's so upbeat and it makes you feel so good.
19:01.907 --> 19:11.996
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was for a few years, but it's just such like a, and obviously it was written for a kids movie like it's supposed to be like upbeat and positive, right?
19:12.396 --> 19:15.079
[SPEAKER_00]: But it feels so like naturally upbeat.
19:15.139 --> 19:20.563
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like it's one of the, like if I'm in a bad mood, that song will make me in a less bad mood.
19:20.583 --> 19:21.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Put me in a less bad mood.
19:21.464 --> 19:22.805
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what good music is about.
19:22.845 --> 19:24.587
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what good music is about, exactly.
19:24.867 --> 19:25.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
19:25.788 --> 19:27.850
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do you sit with Ferrell's happy?
19:28.890 --> 19:29.170
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
19:29.350 --> 19:29.590
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
19:30.171 --> 19:30.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
19:30.671 --> 19:31.231
[SPEAKER_01]: Stop with it.
19:31.671 --> 19:32.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:32.071 --> 19:32.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop with it.
19:32.611 --> 19:32.831
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
19:32.871 --> 19:33.352
[SPEAKER_00]: That song.
19:33.932 --> 19:35.833
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I liked it.
19:35.953 --> 19:38.954
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I think you got overplayed and I just think it's kind of corny.
19:39.014 --> 19:44.836
[SPEAKER_00]: And I also think Ferrell's voice is, I don't know if I can listen to Ferrell sing an entire song.
19:44.936 --> 19:46.437
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Ferrell and like bits and pieces.
19:46.557 --> 19:46.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:47.237 --> 19:47.817
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too.
19:48.297 --> 19:50.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you on him as a singer.
19:50.727 --> 19:50.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:51.668 --> 19:52.108
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
19:52.328 --> 19:55.610
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we got through Justin and that was a good one.
19:55.630 --> 20:04.154
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a nice reflection back into the justified days and yeah, when we first started talking about a lot of this stuff back then.
20:04.254 --> 20:04.954
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was cool.
20:05.515 --> 20:05.755
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
20:05.835 --> 20:06.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
20:06.715 --> 20:06.975
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
20:07.015 --> 20:07.636
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be back.
20:08.715 --> 20:21.950
[SPEAKER_01]: Fitching for 50.net, check it out for Mike's reviews of all of these albums that we're talking about as well and the playlists and we'll continue pumping out stuff until we get through everything.
20:22.171 --> 20:23.712
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, that is it from here for Mike.
20:23.773 --> 20:24.393
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm WG.
20:24.934 --> 20:27.196
[SPEAKER_01]: See you when we see you, peace, peace out.
00:10.425 --> 00:23.666
[SPEAKER_01]: We are back with the top five on the Justin Timberlake catalog and instead of doing the rock with it, stop with it.
00:24.900 --> 00:47.026
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of just wanted to think about like how deep, like if we had a top 10, like what missed the cut for you, that is not on your top five, because I found some songs, I was like, gosh, you know, I didn't realize how many Justin Timberlake songs that I considered to be just like top shelf songs.
00:47.426 --> 00:50.187
[SPEAKER_01]: And so there was a little bit of a fight to get into my top five,
00:51.728 --> 01:03.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, as we recorded our original episode, I've been picking up my notebook in like re-ordering things because you're like mentioning songs and I'm like, oh, I forgot about that.
01:04.998 --> 01:14.646
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's, I mean, first of all, there's no in-sync songs in my top five which like I probably could have done a top five of just in-sync songs.
01:14.766 --> 01:19.270
[SPEAKER_01]: What in-sync songs are your, get me your two favorite in-sync songs?
01:20.354 --> 01:30.278
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say this I promise you, I just think that's a beautiful love song, beautiful wedding song, like shout out to Richard Marks who wrote that song.
01:31.878 --> 01:36.320
[SPEAKER_00]: And we talked about Brian McNight earlier in the song that he has on celebrity called Selfish.
01:36.340 --> 01:38.000
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's probably my second favorite in
01:45.265 --> 01:46.386
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, on perfect.
01:46.807 --> 01:47.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:47.607 --> 01:54.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, instead of imperfect, they use the one unperfect in that song.
01:56.096 --> 01:56.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:56.816 --> 01:57.717
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know,
01:59.357 --> 02:20.797
[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird like it hits a weird chord when you hear it the first time you're like, why do you say that instead of imperfect, um, but I don't know, I mean, I don't know the reasoning behind that and it's anybody can find Brian McKnight under whatever rock he's in under, uh, did he like get to horse or some, he's he's a bad person, man, like, I don't know, he's just turned, yeah.
02:22.047 --> 02:27.508
[SPEAKER_00]: My lasting association with Brian McKnight will be Johnny Gil was on.
02:27.528 --> 02:28.988
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was on Quest Love Supreme.
02:30.169 --> 02:39.751
[SPEAKER_00]: And Quest Love As soon as it ever musician that you played on a bill with, that you wanted to like beat the crap out of.
02:39.891 --> 02:44.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this had Johnny, Johnny had to be like, hey, I'm gonna come on this show.
02:44.972 --> 02:46.772
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like Brian McKnight, you set me up.
02:47.392 --> 02:48.093
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
02:48.193 --> 02:49.573
[SPEAKER_00]: And Johnny Gil was like,
02:50.613 --> 02:58.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't stand run, so, you know, there's, uh, R&B Uncle Beef.
02:58.717 --> 02:59.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
03:00.278 --> 03:08.462
[SPEAKER_01]: I think my two favorite songs of InSync are, it's going to be me and maybe girlfriend.
03:09.303 --> 03:09.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
03:10.283 --> 03:13.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I, I, I, I feel like,
03:15.485 --> 03:21.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I like it when there's the other song, which is really only J.C.
03:21.648 --> 03:24.550
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's with black bringing it all to me.
03:24.570 --> 03:32.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's like there's a, anytime where I get those guys to kind of just sit in the pocket and groove, like I love, I love that stuff from in sync.
03:33.515 --> 03:34.736
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
03:34.816 --> 03:35.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
03:35.176 --> 03:36.957
[SPEAKER_00]: So in shout out to J.C.
03:36.997 --> 03:38.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause J.C. is such a dope singer.
03:39.058 --> 03:39.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
03:40.679 --> 03:41.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
03:41.439 --> 03:42.720
[SPEAKER_01]: He's what could have been, man.
03:45.091 --> 03:50.477
[SPEAKER_01]: What still could like maybe, you know, if they do do a in sync reunion, he can kind of get his again.
03:50.497 --> 03:51.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
03:52.519 --> 03:54.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right, let's talk about this top five.
03:54.701 --> 03:57.525
[SPEAKER_01]: So the some of the songs that fell outside of mine.
03:58.586 --> 03:59.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Still on my brain.
04:00.878 --> 04:06.902
[SPEAKER_01]: which is from his justified that was my favorite of the slow jams on that song.
04:07.642 --> 04:18.409
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you mentioned selfish that was right outside of my top five, but I didn't really want to include in sync songs, but if I did, that would have been right there.
04:20.710 --> 04:25.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Love stone, losing my way, those songs were also there as well.
04:26.594 --> 04:28.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Can I say I cheated with my list?
04:30.836 --> 04:38.350
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a song that when we get there, I think you're probably going to roll your eyes at me of what I added to my top five.
04:38.450 --> 04:40.133
[SPEAKER_01]: But if I'm being honest with myself,
04:41.364 --> 04:46.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, it deserves to be there based on what I enjoy about Justin Timberlake songs.
04:47.510 --> 04:50.353
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be like his version of September by Earth when it fired.
04:50.393 --> 04:50.593
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
04:50.813 --> 04:50.993
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
04:51.114 --> 04:53.416
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably, you may even think it's worse, but okay.
04:53.496 --> 04:53.656
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
04:53.696 --> 04:54.136
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
04:54.156 --> 04:55.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's, let's kick it off.
04:55.157 --> 04:55.698
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll start.
04:56.339 --> 04:56.779
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
04:57.440 --> 05:01.884
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm kicking it off with not a bad thing from the 2020 experience.
05:03.225 --> 05:03.906
[SPEAKER_01]: There are.
05:05.136 --> 05:06.856
[SPEAKER_01]: some songs of Justin's.
05:06.896 --> 05:16.879
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, you know, I actually, I wanted to ask you this on the actual episode for Man in the Woods, but there's a song called Drink You Away.
05:18.759 --> 05:29.122
[SPEAKER_01]: And that kind of sort of wonder if he saw how people reacted to Drink You Away, which I think was like one of the last singles on on that album.
05:29.142 --> 05:29.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:30.202 --> 05:37.444
[SPEAKER_01]: And it kind of got co-opted by different markets of music.
05:38.245 --> 05:45.027
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wonder if that was kind of like, oh, I can act my next, one of my next albums, I'm going to lean a little bit harder that way.
05:45.047 --> 05:45.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Be harder into it.
05:45.927 --> 05:48.648
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, drink you a ways how the whole Stapleton connection started.
05:50.295 --> 05:51.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and that's a good song.
05:51.855 --> 05:52.576
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that song.
05:52.616 --> 05:53.716
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I forgot about that.
05:53.736 --> 05:59.518
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another song I forgot about, but it's funny because not a bad thing was initially in my top five and I kicked it out as we were talking.
05:59.678 --> 05:59.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
06:00.058 --> 06:11.501
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's, I just think it's a really, really solid track and when Justin can kind of get, you know, away from that, uh, you know, I'm too sexy for my own good.
06:11.861 --> 06:12.561
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hot shit.
06:12.581 --> 06:16.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when he can get away from that a little bit, I think I like him a lot a little bit more.
06:16.922 --> 06:17.142
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
06:19.846 --> 06:27.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, my number five is my love, I just like the production, you know, Tim Bolan can be a little uneven as a producer.
06:27.735 --> 06:30.818
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the production of that song is just so like bright.
06:32.540 --> 06:34.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, um, it, it's, um,
06:36.130 --> 07:02.052
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's just one of those songs that like, you know, it kind of like pops off this, you know, pops out of the speakers when you, when you play it, you know, it makes, I can tolerate T I on it, you know, which, one of the few times I can actually tolerate listening to him for more than like couple of seconds, but yeah, my love is is number five I just saw T I.
07:04.011 --> 07:05.653
[SPEAKER_01]: in a movie the other day.
07:05.713 --> 07:09.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have you ever seen American gangster?
07:11.260 --> 07:12.322
[SPEAKER_00]: No, the Denzel movie?
07:13.042 --> 07:13.303
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
07:14.224 --> 07:16.527
[SPEAKER_01]: He plays Denzel's nephew, who is
07:22.203 --> 07:43.056
[SPEAKER_01]: a baseball prospect and instead of going to try out and and like I think there's a meeting with the Yankees that he skips and the reason he skips it is because he sees his uncle doing big things as like the craziest drug dealer most successful drug dealer he's like I just want to be you and so he ends up working for
07:43.957 --> 07:49.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Frank Lucas and then he can shot like in the midst of of all that.
07:49.618 --> 07:52.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I was like, see, I like, what's he doing in this movie?
07:52.999 --> 07:53.879
[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot about that.
07:54.559 --> 07:55.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha, I didn't realize that.
07:57.019 --> 07:57.219
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
07:57.239 --> 08:10.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Number four, maybe my favorite of the, I want to be a 20 or 2002 version of a young Michael Jackson is rock your body from justified.
08:13.318 --> 08:19.651
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's somewhere in my top 10 would have been outside the top five, but yeah, that is, I mean, that I think is the most like
08:20.800 --> 08:29.786
[SPEAKER_00]: ball faced Michael Rift off of, you know, like the the 1981 version of Michael definitely would have done that song.
08:29.846 --> 08:35.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if the invincible he wouldn't have had you naked by the end of the song now that I would have gone somewhere else.
08:35.210 --> 08:41.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, I mean off it was like post off the wall Michael would have like that that is right in that pocket.
08:41.815 --> 08:41.955
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
08:42.375 --> 08:43.596
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so.
08:44.217 --> 08:44.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:44.397 --> 08:44.877
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what's
08:46.638 --> 08:48.218
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, another song with the rapper.
08:48.519 --> 08:49.999
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, a number four is suit and tie.
08:50.839 --> 08:55.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, like again, like it's just, it's a good vibe.
08:56.100 --> 08:56.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Jay Z.
08:57.921 --> 09:04.742
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I love Jay Jay, particularly on other people's records can sound lazy.
09:04.762 --> 09:05.302
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
09:05.402 --> 09:07.183
[SPEAKER_00]: In this case, he does not sound lazy.
09:07.223 --> 09:09.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's actually like in the pocket with Justin on this record.
09:10.684 --> 09:11.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, like again,
09:13.113 --> 09:18.694
[SPEAKER_00]: If this was 1998 or 1999, you'd be like, how Jay-Z and this hintsync dude make a record together?
09:19.214 --> 09:22.895
[SPEAKER_00]: But soon-tive actually works like it's a really good song.
09:23.635 --> 09:26.496
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, considering all M&M did was clown on these dudes.
09:27.076 --> 09:29.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, right, right, yeah.
09:29.897 --> 09:35.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah, I wonder if Chris Kirkpatrick ever do to any part of his name rhymes would get your ass.
09:35.638 --> 09:37.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess that's literally all I happen.
09:37.858 --> 09:40.259
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if Justin Timberlake and M&M have ever actually
09:42.339 --> 09:42.860
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
09:43.220 --> 09:44.180
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about that one.
09:44.981 --> 09:49.044
[SPEAKER_01]: That'd be an interesting conversation, though, because they've never worked together from what I remember.
09:49.464 --> 09:51.085
[SPEAKER_00]: Nah, nah, he wouldn't.
09:51.125 --> 09:53.167
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Eminem spent years justing in sync.
09:53.207 --> 09:54.748
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to turn around and then.
09:55.248 --> 09:56.829
[SPEAKER_00]: But 50 did a record with Justin.
09:57.950 --> 09:58.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what was that album?
09:58.970 --> 09:59.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, was that song called?
10:00.131 --> 10:01.192
[SPEAKER_00]: The AO technology.
10:01.212 --> 10:03.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.
10:04.454 --> 10:05.555
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, here's where I'm cheating.
10:05.695 --> 10:07.436
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is where you're going to realize.
10:07.456 --> 10:07.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
10:09.683 --> 10:24.256
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael Jackson many years after he passed away there was a song called love never felt so good and then they just randomly added just in timber like to the song I mean not randomly But like the song is from like how many years ago?
10:24.516 --> 10:33.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, added just in verse As if they were working together Right I like the version without just in more
10:34.976 --> 10:36.837
[SPEAKER_01]: But I still really like this version a lot.
10:37.597 --> 10:38.337
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a cool song.
10:38.557 --> 10:48.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if for what it's worth, you know, I mean, Justin and Michael had a history, and I believe Timbalen produced for remixed love never felt so good.
10:48.521 --> 10:51.201
[SPEAKER_00]: So it made sense to put Justin on it.
10:51.782 --> 10:56.763
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, if I remember correctly, gone by in sync was originally written for Michael Jackson.
10:57.143 --> 10:57.664
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no way.
10:58.164 --> 11:01.085
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, could Michael Jackson have done that
11:05.371 --> 11:05.791
[SPEAKER_00]: totally.
11:06.912 --> 11:07.092
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:07.152 --> 11:07.672
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
11:09.152 --> 11:09.352
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh.
11:09.993 --> 11:10.893
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an interesting one.
11:11.733 --> 11:11.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:12.313 --> 11:12.534
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
11:12.554 --> 11:13.274
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your number three?
11:14.374 --> 11:20.456
[SPEAKER_00]: My number three is until the end of time, which is on Future Sex Love Sounds towards the end.
11:22.057 --> 11:27.959
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, you know, got like a little bit of a Prince influence to it, but it's really like the only slow jam.
11:29.208 --> 11:43.594
[SPEAKER_00]: on that album, later they did a version with Beyonce, I prefer the not with Beyonce version, but that's probably my favorite song on Future Sex Love Sounds.
11:44.135 --> 11:45.075
[SPEAKER_01]: It is really good song.
11:45.715 --> 11:57.580
[SPEAKER_01]: I did the remix with the Beyonce too, but it just seems like you're just adding her on it just because you want two stars on it, rather than because it's a song that she would sound good on.
11:59.121 --> 11:59.981
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and it's crazy.
12:00.041 --> 12:19.111
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess, you know, I mean, everybody collaborates with everybody nowadays, but like the long list of artists that Justin has like written for produced for, you know, like Madonna and Beyonce and Sierra and, you know, Jay and Snoop and, you know, 50 and, you know,
12:20.331 --> 12:25.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Duran Duran and all of these different artists like he's he's Jamie Fox.
12:25.554 --> 12:32.757
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had like a decent career as like a songwriter and producer in addition to being an artist.
12:33.857 --> 12:41.221
[SPEAKER_01]: My number two is mirrors and I have a little bit of a backstory here.
12:41.281 --> 12:46.403
[SPEAKER_01]: So when my oldest son Brian when he graduated from high school.
12:49.743 --> 12:51.405
[SPEAKER_01]: with a project.
12:52.506 --> 13:04.518
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was to take all of these photos that these parents had of these children and put together the end of the summer year graduation photo thing.
13:05.599 --> 13:08.322
[SPEAKER_01]: And so there's a segment of this,
13:10.873 --> 13:24.167
[SPEAKER_01]: I came up with this idea, where because this school, some of the kids started at this school from, I think from sixth grade, all the way up to high school.
13:24.767 --> 13:25.108
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
13:25.348 --> 13:27.450
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had access to,
13:29.011 --> 13:34.074
[SPEAKER_01]: like their sixth grade photos, but then the parents also had access to like a kindergarten photo.
13:34.134 --> 13:47.882
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would I would do this like little transition of going from the kindergarten photo to the sixth grade graduation photo to the high school graduation photo.
13:48.082 --> 13:53.065
[SPEAKER_01]: And I used the song mirrors from Justin in these transition of all of these photos.
13:54.145 --> 13:56.466
[SPEAKER_01]: It came out it was it was dope the way it came out.
13:56.526 --> 14:05.531
[SPEAKER_01]: So that song whenever I hear that song it reminds me of when he graduated from high school and the thing I put together for their school.
14:06.051 --> 14:06.772
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's awesome.
14:07.972 --> 14:08.373
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
14:08.393 --> 14:10.454
[SPEAKER_00]: So all right, what's number two for you.
14:11.354 --> 14:12.555
[SPEAKER_00]: My number two is cry me a river.
14:13.255 --> 14:14.976
[SPEAKER_00]: I just like.
14:16.548 --> 14:24.714
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're going to say, if you disembodied, like that's kind of like one of the best effused songs as well.
14:24.834 --> 14:33.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Isn't it crazy how like, you know, we grew up listening to rap, this is in battle, rapping.
14:33.060 --> 14:41.526
[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes like I didn't even realize it was a was a dis and you would kind of go through the lyrics later and you learn about these beef and I'm like, Oh, that's what that was about.
14:41.726 --> 14:41.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
14:42.247 --> 14:44.468
[SPEAKER_01]: And yet some of the best
14:45.364 --> 15:03.606
[SPEAKER_01]: this is have actually been in the R&B genre because when right carry undressed eminent m&m on clown and I was like oh man I don't know if he can come back from that one he tried and then this is the you know I don't know
15:05.170 --> 15:13.795
[SPEAKER_01]: beef pop star against pop star beef doesn't sit as hard as L. O. Kooja against Kumo D. See, right.
15:13.835 --> 15:29.323
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and it's also like the guy, you know, and the girl, like there's said, there's a little bit of a thing there, but, you know, Brittany, it became part of her act for sure, because I saw her in concert once, because some of my family wanted to go.
15:29.363 --> 15:29.884
[SPEAKER_01]: So I went,
15:30.864 --> 15:43.353
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, she had her come back on stage where she was doing stuff that, you know, that, that the crowd was digging about her, her little come back, but yeah, like she didn't have a creamy or creamy river like he did.
15:44.073 --> 15:44.313
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
15:44.774 --> 15:51.158
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and, you know, it's a different game right when it's not like is beef, but this is like real beef.
15:51.178 --> 15:56.442
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like you broke my heart beef, you know, as much as, you know,
15:58.568 --> 16:07.891
[SPEAKER_00]: I considering how much tail would have suddenly been made available to Justin Timberlake at the conclusion of his relationship with Britney Spears.
16:08.511 --> 16:10.732
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't necessarily know that he was crying very much.
16:11.852 --> 16:14.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe had a bad day, and he wrote that song.
16:15.834 --> 16:20.635
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, it's beef based on like real feelings in a real relationship.
16:20.655 --> 16:22.256
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, also what that song was though.
16:22.896 --> 16:25.737
[SPEAKER_01]: It was during their relationship,
16:26.853 --> 16:32.880
[SPEAKER_01]: When it came to the solo stardom, she was a bigger star at the time.
16:33.581 --> 16:39.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And then as they were getting out of that relationship, that was adjusting.
16:40.670 --> 16:42.833
[SPEAKER_01]: And so this was like a shot of like,
16:44.326 --> 16:46.568
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not the bigger star anymore.
16:47.409 --> 16:48.469
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the bigger star.
16:49.030 --> 16:55.655
[SPEAKER_01]: So all of all of this complaining and you blaming this this then like the people like I like I'm the one now.
16:55.735 --> 17:02.320
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, that I think also there was that positioning there in inside of that song at the same time.
17:02.380 --> 17:03.220
[SPEAKER_01]: So, right.
17:03.961 --> 17:04.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, number one for me.
17:06.527 --> 17:08.429
[SPEAKER_01]: is summer love.
17:09.210 --> 17:09.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
17:09.710 --> 17:16.837
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my favorite just in Timberlick song of all that is that is I mean that's not even really like a deep cut but that's I'm surprised.
17:17.598 --> 17:29.010
[SPEAKER_01]: It I was hoping that they released it as a single and I think it did get some a radio play at some point, but yeah that was that that would when I first heard that album.
17:30.144 --> 17:32.106
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was the best song on the album.
17:32.166 --> 17:43.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that was the song where if I had a playlist, and if we're talking 2002, like whatever hip-hop I was listening to, I could throw that just in track on, because that track was hard.
17:43.855 --> 17:47.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it was like the beat was really hard too and the way that he sang that.
17:52.629 --> 17:53.429
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the line?
17:54.210 --> 17:56.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty little face on the pretty little frame.
17:56.771 --> 17:58.692
[SPEAKER_01]: And the way that he did that.
17:58.752 --> 18:02.895
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the way that it mixed into, because it was like, it wasn't actually a solo track.
18:02.915 --> 18:05.516
[SPEAKER_01]: There was like two songs that they kind of merged together.
18:06.116 --> 18:06.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
18:06.297 --> 18:08.158
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I liked that aspect of it too.
18:08.278 --> 18:10.019
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it's my favorite Justin song.
18:10.699 --> 18:11.499
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that is.
18:14.025 --> 18:19.751
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually a little kind of thrown back because I was not expecting that to To come up in the rotation.
18:19.931 --> 18:22.974
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought we had had this conversation before, but it's positive.
18:23.054 --> 18:23.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
18:24.475 --> 18:25.396
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we have.
18:25.496 --> 18:26.337
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my favorite.
18:26.357 --> 18:26.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
18:26.778 --> 18:27.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
18:27.819 --> 18:28.900
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so
18:30.055 --> 18:30.995
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your name?
18:31.315 --> 18:33.196
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite is actually can't stop the feeling.
18:33.916 --> 18:35.517
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, the trolls.
18:35.977 --> 18:36.717
[SPEAKER_00]: The trolls song.
18:36.877 --> 18:47.740
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I've never seen trolls, but that song, and you know, I think it's a little tainted now because it came out in 2016 and then the end of 2016 just fucked everybody's heads up forever.
18:47.800 --> 18:48.600
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
18:49.160 --> 18:56.322
[SPEAKER_00]: But that song is such like a, like a such a bop and it's so upbeat and it makes you feel so good.
19:01.907 --> 19:11.996
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was for a few years, but it's just such like a, and obviously it was written for a kids movie like it's supposed to be like upbeat and positive, right?
19:12.396 --> 19:15.079
[SPEAKER_00]: But it feels so like naturally upbeat.
19:15.139 --> 19:20.563
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like it's one of the, like if I'm in a bad mood, that song will make me in a less bad mood.
19:20.583 --> 19:21.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Put me in a less bad mood.
19:21.464 --> 19:22.805
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what good music is about.
19:22.845 --> 19:24.587
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what good music is about, exactly.
19:24.867 --> 19:25.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
19:25.788 --> 19:27.850
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do you sit with Ferrell's happy?
19:28.890 --> 19:29.170
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
19:29.350 --> 19:29.590
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
19:30.171 --> 19:30.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
19:30.671 --> 19:31.231
[SPEAKER_01]: Stop with it.
19:31.671 --> 19:32.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:32.071 --> 19:32.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop with it.
19:32.611 --> 19:32.831
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
19:32.871 --> 19:33.352
[SPEAKER_00]: That song.
19:33.932 --> 19:35.833
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I liked it.
19:35.953 --> 19:38.954
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I think you got overplayed and I just think it's kind of corny.
19:39.014 --> 19:44.836
[SPEAKER_00]: And I also think Ferrell's voice is, I don't know if I can listen to Ferrell sing an entire song.
19:44.936 --> 19:46.437
[SPEAKER_00]: I need Ferrell and like bits and pieces.
19:46.557 --> 19:46.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:47.237 --> 19:47.817
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too.
19:48.297 --> 19:50.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you on him as a singer.
19:50.727 --> 19:50.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:51.668 --> 19:52.108
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
19:52.328 --> 19:55.610
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we got through Justin and that was a good one.
19:55.630 --> 20:04.154
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a nice reflection back into the justified days and yeah, when we first started talking about a lot of this stuff back then.
20:04.254 --> 20:04.954
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was cool.
20:05.515 --> 20:05.755
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
20:05.835 --> 20:06.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
20:06.715 --> 20:06.975
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
20:07.015 --> 20:07.636
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be back.
20:08.715 --> 20:21.950
[SPEAKER_01]: Fitching for 50.net, check it out for Mike's reviews of all of these albums that we're talking about as well and the playlists and we'll continue pumping out stuff until we get through everything.
20:22.171 --> 20:23.712
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, that is it from here for Mike.
20:23.773 --> 20:24.393
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm WG.
20:24.934 --> 20:27.196
[SPEAKER_01]: See you when we see you, peace, peace out.
