If you have read my blog in the past you should already be aware of my general dislike for Timbaland's production. He is not a bad producer, but artists who already possess some ingenuity do not need his prodcution graces (nor do they need his insistence on always appearing in the songs he produces to add in those much needed "uh huhs," "yeeeeahs," and that stupid "breeka breeka" sound he makes). Alas, Madonna has given in and allowed Timbaland to produce half her new album and has thus become as homogenized as the rest of the hip-pop genre. Soon every poppy hip-hop song will have that fat-headed buffoon's synth-dependent, "uh huh, yeeeah, breeka breeka" stamp of production on it.
Finally, the "subtle" implication in this song that Madonna is going to mount Justin Timberlake makes my stomache a little uneasy. First of all, isn't she dried out by now? The woman is going to be 50 in a few months. Timberlake is 27. I try not to put too much emphasis on age, because age is really a state of mind. However, the idea of Madonna trying to generate enough moisture to wang-chung Timberlake disgusts me. She really should have just gone the pills and alcohol route. It all went downhill once she stopped sporting that phony beauty mark.
