notes
Underneath the sampled rain-drop vocal hook sits a rubbery, slightly detuned synth bass typical of Timbaland's mid-90s production, warped and unpredictable rather than locked to a grid via a slow, uneven filter wobble. The Korg Trinity/MPC3000 pairing is well documented for Timbaland's work of this era generally; this specific patch is an informed reconstruction, not a sourced patch sheet. Add slow, uneven glide to capture the wobble.
