A review by nickscoby
The Emperor of Sound by Veronica Chambers, Timbaland
4.0
This book was very entertaining. Of course, it helps that Tim worked with two of my all-time favorite artists (Aaliyah and Justin Timberlake) and was inspired by Prince. But I also appreciate hearing his first hand accounts of some of the most popular music made in the late 90s-early 2000s. I expected all of the (platonic) love he has for Missy Elliott, but I was completely unaware of his experience with Davante Swing from Jodeci. There are at least three chapters devoted to what can only be described as pure trauma and abuse. I was literally gripping the pages! Poor, poor Tim.
On the down side, certain chapters feel rushed, especially at the end.
