Album Notes Personnel includes: Timbaland, Magoo, Aaliyah, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot, Ginuwine, Smokey, Black, Love Jon, Shaunta Montgomery, Static, St. Nick, DJ Law, Buddha Brother, Big B (vocals). Recorded at Mastersound Studios, Virginia Beach, Virginia; Studio 54, Los Angeles, California; Manhattan Center Studios, New York, New York. With their debut album, Timbaland and Magoo invite listeners to experience a new sound: hype new school lyrics laid over funky new beats. Correctly titled, WELCOME TO OUR WORLD invites the listener to enter into a kaleidoscopic landscape of sound that combines the production talent of Timbaland with the lyrical skills of Magoo. In the name of variety, there are guest artists aplenty to be found on WELCOME TO OUR WORLD, and they all arive with an impressive pedigree; Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, and Ginuwine all chip in here. This stuff dominates urban radio for a reason.
Editorial Reviews ...Timbaland and his partner Magoo engage in a no-frills bout of lyrical Ping-Pong with the mic, surprisingly, landing on Timbaland's side of the net more often....With elementary rhymes and simplistic vocal deliveries in abundance... The Source (12/01/1997)
8 (out of 10) - ...Tim takes a magnifying glass and articulates syncopation--his kick drums stutter-step twice when you're expecting once, the hi-hats jungle-swing all over your new-jack stiffness, the rubber band never stops snapping, and a hottie vocalist oozes over the whole mess. It's Robot vs. Wild Thing, and a good fight it is... Spin (01/01/1998)
Lyrically, this producer/rapper duo doesn't add anything new to the hip-hop canon....They bring the beats like nobody's business, however, laying it on slow and thick as molasses... - Rating: B Entertainment Weekly (01/09/1998)
