Timbaland Doesn't Like My Beats... 

I like the fact that he didn’t hold back and he told you what to improve and how you can improve. Overall great video!

Oceans got wayyy better beats than what he displayed here

honestly felt like you have better beats than what you showed him

I like the willingness for Timbo to give back to a young producer like yourself. You humbly accepted his feedback and put it out there for the whole world to see. . It shows you seek growth on a level that keeps you grounded. Many blessings to you sir!

Inspiring how you show this basically unedited, its lowkey putting yourself up vulnearble and i think that's powerful.

Its so crazy because its always the beats we actually love that when we let people hear them they usually dont like or pick them. They usually pick the ones we think are duds. It always happens that way.

The moments where Timbaland just mumbles ocean's melodies with his mouth are just gold

Having the ability to have Timbaland critique your work regardless of whether he messing with it or not is a big achievement. Theres lessons for everyone in this video too! appreciate you sharing your journey with us every time 🙏

Timbaland is also one of my fav producers so this is legendary!

Ocean gonna reach even greater heights than he has reached now. From going to his tiny studio in Manchester in 2020 to where he is at now, and where his new studio is. He is unstoppable, he will always keep pushing and thats what inspires us as your audience to keep pushing and grinding too. Thanks Ocean!

Honesty is key, I like that he's telling you what you don't want to hear, it's the best way forward! 🌟💜📈

I think Tim was pretty spot on. He has a seasoned ear of over three decades. And even though the music scene has past his sound by and modern music sounds much different then his era. He still has a great ear. It takes a lot of guts to post a video like this. Big up to you.

I love how involved Timbaland is with the underground. He truly out here to help up and coming artists. He’s always gone be one of my favourites

Wow he was right on and straightforward and honest. Thats how you get someone better at their craft though. Can’t sugarcoat anything. You just have to be able to humble yourself and really take it in and see if the advice resonates. If it does make the corrections and keep pushing.

Congrats bro, you did put yourself on the fya and aint get burned!!! this situation is the best way to improve, like be advised by someone like Timbo is dope, for sure you gonna grow alot after it!!!

Good job bro👏🏾🎉 Look how far uve come from the beginning to now. Keep going and keep grinding u got hella love from ure community, nd your inspiring others along the way , thats whats its about!!

Thank you for sharing this Ocean…it shows you got grit and humility to ALWAYS improve…gives the younger generation something to look forward to…thank you!!!

Yoo HUGE respect to you for sharing this with your community! I really appreciate that a lot cause normally you only see the "perfect" world of producers who are always winning etc. But this shows that in reality even if you are as good as Ocean you still have to take some failure to develop as an artist. Thanks! You helped me a lot with this video!

so dope, alot of respect to have him in a Ft. i like how you showed off the not so usual beats to him for this video... kinda curious on the beats you showed him that he fucked with heavy. you make killer beats, and i know you had some in your arsenal that you shot out.

i really love his honesty with you, and that will kinda push the best of the heck producer in you to show up

That face of Ocean after getting disrespect on every beat😂😂.

Bro this is crazy that we usually hear better beats from you than what you presented to Timbo but hey having those feedbacks from a such legend is sick. This is one step forward to becoming a greater producer than you already are. & this gives us the opportunity to hear what we can do to improve our production, like i already said in the pass, i wish to collab with you one day. Keep up the good work 🤙🏾

Levels! Big up bro keep it pushing, u put the work in 💯

keep doing your thing, man. appreciate the rawness and vulnerability in sharing. You're an amazing artist NONETHELESS. Take what you need and go.

I’ve been in this type of situation before. You tend to present your worst beats when the time comes to present something to the pros in the industries. And also one thing, we producers, the beat we like is usually the worst of all the beats we do. I don’t know why it’s always like that. The beat I don’t love among my beats and music in general is what people around me tend to move their body to. I totally understand what ocean was facing at this point

The Daw doesn't matter just pick one of the top 3 FL Logic or Ableton and learn one. Timbaland saying Logic is only Good for vocals is a Big L "A Good Craftsman Never Blames His Tools"

Hey man, props to ocean for putting himself out there like that. There's a fine line between constructive criticism and completely deteriorating somebody's confidence in perfecting their craft. Timbaland is one of the best to ever do it and this criticism is more valuable than any piece of equipment money can buy. Keep pushing Brotha!!!

It's always great to get feedback from a friend or fellow producer... it's even better that it was Timbo helping you out. Now I'm second guessing MY tag. lol I kinda ran into something similar while tryna make a reggaeton beat... where it sounded it good but something was missing cuz it just felt like I was tryna mesh two different genres. Add a lil percussion and speeding up the melody a little might help. Or like Timbaland said, try a different one. He's right though... you're getting there and that's dope. Keep doing big things Ocean.

the zoom ins on timbaland face be havin me cryin

Im so surprised with your beats selection. You've created WAY BETTER beats throughout the years. Im confused

I love you ocean. I learned practically everything on logic from you and you’ve got pretty dope sounds that would have blow Timbo away. The world gonna recognize your great talent soon enough and great coaching by a mentor and icon timbs love❤

Respect to you Ocean for letting Timbo hear your beats. That’s how you get better man. Wish you nothing but success in 2023.

Imagine getting in front of Timbaland and playing this out of all your beats

he just didnt tell you something that you wanna hear but something you HAVE TO hear. That was cool and it showed that he really want to help you

extremely useful feedback i must say. you can hear each of the suggestions/problems he pinpointed. and sure, you can agree or disagree but the main point is to use his ability to dissect and hear the complete track and its parts in other contexts in his head, instantaneously. It forces you to really think of what you are doing.

Love this content bro, it's dope that you put yourself out here like that.

Honestly keep doing you. The artists will come to you. Not all beats need to be nor should be Timbaland approved.

i catch some of the beatclub streams from time to time and tim is very selective. good that he actually had a conversation and gave you some direction instead of just dismissing it like some of the things that get played for him.

Respect to you and your grinding bro! Im always super honest even doe it might hurt its better to be honest. The problem with these beats you showed are that they are not unique, you are doing what has been done for 10 years or more. I think i almost recocginze all the drum sounds, and just starting there, record / pitch / combine your own drum sounds, or dig and find your own samples, otherwise you sound like 97% of all the beatmakers out there. There is to much of everything everywhere on the word wide web and to make good stuff one have to be unique, simply just being 100% yourself. Fins inspiration somewhere else than the music your going to make, travel, I dont know, hehe your own roots dig there. THere are milions of ways to explore and find a unique own sound. Avoid the comercial sample stations!!! God bless u bro, love your grind! big RESPECT

I think you did great Ocean, keep pushing and elevating your sound. 💖

NAH DAWG THATS LEGENDARY THIS IS SO COOL Edit: just finished the video and damn what I would give to be able to have him coach me too that sounds really fun and also super informative

I understand some may think of better beats however, I feel this feedback was super vital regardless of how the records sounded. We all know Ocean goes hard, so that same feedback he will apply to any of his records from here out. This was such a humbling experience and you earned it Ocean!!💯

Wow man he really put things in perspective. Everybody need to work things out. Sometimes it hurts to hear the truth, but if you put that behind yourself and really dig in and start experimenting it will change everything you do. I am going through this same thing and have been for a few years. I had to rework my melodies and drums. I use Ableton and the Akai Force to produce. So I had to rethink my workflow a little and come up with a smoother way for me to make less generic sounding stuff. It's not perfect, but I'm getting closer to finding my sound.

Ocean gonna be the upcoming taking it over, big ups to wanting to sement your craft through tough fires!

Super proud to see this Ocean. Keep going bro!

Nice to see Tim put you in the right direction much respect

This was really cool to see. In a clout chasing world often times I see to many 🔥 emojis to the most basic beats more so because that person wants to get recognized by whoever’s post they’re commenting on, or just want to boost that persons ego. This also goes to show you can do this full time and still have a lot to learn and improve on. To be fair, I don’t think these are the best beats I’ve heard from you, but I applaud you for uploading this and being transparent that we’re all on a journey and gotta grow everyday! Huge W regardless man Timbo the GOAT

I learnt so much from this. Thank you for your willingness to have him critique your beats. I can now see all the areas where I need to improve myself. It really is a process.

Well the truth is bitter, the GOAT was right. If he'd played the beat for like small producers we'd be like 🔥🔥😤.

Yo! that was amazing. I guarantee with no doubt in my mind you are going to get 100 times better. Logic is my favorite daw but Ableton and Fl Drum just hit differently, Sometime you have to get off your comfort zone

You know what even having timberland roast your beats is a level most people will never get to keep going bro I’ll see you at the top

Nice of you putting this online man. It's nice to have The one and only Mr Timbaland reviewing your songs and giving tips on how to improve yourself. Great stuff! And I know what he means because I always have the same problem with my beats, the Melodies are too much and they need to give more air for a rapper to rap on it. Same as in a band everyone needs to give space for the other instruments. Thanks for putting this online, helps a lot!

Everything happens for a reason my bro. Maybe you weren’t meant to show him your best beats for a bigger reason and to just make you a better producer. Because I’ll echo what everyone else is saying here that you have muchhhh better songs than what you displayed to him but sometimes we can all get things out of perspective on our art. Either way this is legendary that you were able to have this experience. Keep doin your thing homie you’re crushin it 🙏🏼💪🏼

Bruh this is legendary, Simon is gonna be pissed😂,that’s his fav producer

I can’t wait to hear ocean new stuff after this 💪🏾

I smiled and was so happy every time Timbo was like, "You got another beat?"

Damn, I felt nervous for you as you was playing him your beats. It must have felt like waiting for approval from your parents or something. Great vid tho

"I dont hear no song over it" alot of beat makers tend to forget that 🔑

Ocean my G! The patience and how he kept his cool as his beats were being criticised.... True master .... Patience is key

Bro this is intense man lol Ngl Ocean I’ve heard you make wavier beats than what you showed Timbo man!?! Wagwan?!

It's funny how we are judged by the pros, lol but this is art, you are actually seeking many opinions. Not from one person. Most people who listen to music just enjoy it. Those beats are 🔥and depends on who sing or rap on them that makes the hit song.

Timbaland just doesn't like logic! 🤣 But I loved the third beat and the last beat. Proud of my boy Ocean, well done! 💪🏽🔥🔥🔥

The best about this is that you shared it with us. True!

Logic Gang! Ocean and Timberland 🔥🔥🔥🔥

First , thank you for sharing this with us. secondly, I like how you took the criticism positively to enable you be more good at your craft. Thirdly, This channel is 🔥

My Guy Ocean is Dope. Being able to Handle both Constructive criticism and Subjective input is the fuel that u need for the fire to burn Cancel

Keep doing your thing, Ocean. I think you’re beats are sick even though I’m an underground conscious hip-hop head who likes Boom Bap and can’t stand drill and trap. Reggaeton is awesome though. Me gusta reggaeton mi amigo. It’s very competitive in general. You’re doing very well though!

Nah the drill beat was on point - it’s all about who you work with for one like that

Goat for getting the Timbaland collab

It’s not easy listening to someone dissect your work and critique it. Kudos to you for sitting there and being willing to learn

love wht u do ocean keep it up

I’ve been watching you since I started producing two years ago!You’re an amazing producer and I’m excited to continue to see your journey and growth. I love the feedback TIMBALANDD gave cause that’s the only way we get even better. I do feel like you have better beats tho 😅 flowers to you Ocean, sending love from nyc 🔥

3:47 i don’t think it‘s too „cinematic“ or not even „outdated“ as Timbaland says. @ocean just check out the German rapper LUCIANO with his newest album „MAJESTIC“. this is definitely a beat that he‘d rocked and also nearly all beats from this album are like yours. I love it bro!

The fact you posted this made me respect you even more bro, humbling.

Nahh that last beat was fire no cap, keep this shi up dawgie

Do you think that part of this is that you and Timbaland have very different styles? I’m surprised at the selection you played him vs the other beats you’ve put up on your videos in the past that I think would have resonated with him more.

The beats are very good. Timbo just likes to be a super coach. Ocean, you dont need to get those negative comments too serious. Great beats👍

I remember when I sent my first beat to Timbo, he's being honest. and as much as we want to be creative and use what ever sound we want to use; sometimes we walk all over the idea that maybe the sound doesn't fit or the melody. When I hear "the melody doesn't fit, the first thing I think of is" the track is lacking syncopation. Keep rockin 🙌🏾

To my ear, I see a career in sync and film music with Ocean. Everyone has a niche.

Keep doing what your doing Ocean. Take Timbaland’s advice and apply it to Logic. Let this experience guide you to become a better producer!

I like the slow zooms in on your face when u waiting for his reaction 😅

bro just having the attention of Timba and his trying-to-help criticism is already a blessing

I feel like you’ve made way better beats then the ones shown in the video.

It's all a matter of opinion. Timbaland can say "oh you need to keep it simple" but then go listen to his beat from "Ayo Technology" 50 Cent Feat. Justin Timberlake. It's like, he's critiquing because he's supposed to. Because if someone like Metro Boomin played him these exact beats he would be nodding his head like crazy saying how fire they are. Of course, it's Timbaland and his opinion is very valued in the field. But like I said he has to critique because Ocean is up and coming and he's a legend, I get it. But like I said if an established mainstream famous producer played these same beats he'd be singing their praises. So it's hard for me to really value his opinion too much.

Timbaland said "Too Rockyish" haha. I really enjoy your channel, and I do like these beats for real - great work. I'm a fan of big instrumentation which I tend to lean into at time with my productions as well. His feedback is great - I will say definitely aimed for MCs. That's the tough part, picking something you are proud of but also want to lead with your best artwork from the listener's perspective. It's really hard to pick! You probably have hundreds of awesome beats in the wings and knowing which ones will be the top is tough...I felt nervous for you haha. Keep it up though, great work and it says a lot about you willing to expose critique and be humble in doing so. Awesome stuff Ocean.

I've been following you for a long time man, I started after watching two guys misto and pizzi. I can't believe Timbo is giving you feedback !!

He really roasted it🥶

This is dope as hell but I think you for sure have better beats lol But I guess the point wasn't to impress him but to get meaningful feedback on your weaker areas. Shout out to you my boi!

Props for uploading this! Mans basically got roasted the whole time, I guess this just proves we can always get better no matter how much experience we have.

Ocean did awesome on his beats. An that was awesome how he got trained or coach from another professional. Love the video. 1:26

Ik ocean was crushed when Timb said to take his tag out 😭

just saying ocean u have better beats any reason for picking these?

Love this! Thank you for sharing. Many people dont want to see others that where they could improve.

It's not even a matter of whether your beats are good/bad or not, but that Timbaland provided a sort of inside info on what instantly catches the ears of execs and big time producers/artists etc. I enjoyed this, and learnt a lot in a short clip, helped me gauge the gap a bit.

Ocean was trollin 😂

i have never heard a really good ocean beat....its awesome he has a channel to help others but aint no way he was ready for that.

Respect for putting this up man. Heed Timbo’s advice! Dude is the OG for a reason. You’re already great at what you do, but you’re gonna evolve even more now. That being said, can’t lie when I say this is motivating me to pick up Ableton as well since I’m starting to incorporate more FL into my workflow

I think these advices are super boost for your career. Good luck!

LMAO OCEAN WAS TRYING SOO HARDD NOT TO LAUGH

Tim doesn't like logic lol
