"Are You That Somebody?", "We Need a Resolution", "Rock the Boat", "More Than a Woman", "Try Again", "Lose My Breath", "Check on it", "Get Me Bodied", even "Yeah" en "Goodies". A big loss for music.

Seems like kind of a thankless job to have written the melodies and lyrics to accompany some of the most attention-grabbing production of all time. But a lot of those songs wouldn't have been hits without his tunes, and he did some pretty awesome stuff even without Timbaland (Jay-Z's "Change The Game," Truth Hurts' "Addictive," David Banner's "Crank It Up," etc.)
