Timbaland - The Way I Are

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a copy of one of the promo CDs, and it has the Album Version of "The Way I Are" by Timbaland feat. Keri Hilson.  I know for certain there is also a "Radio" version on a different promo, as this version appears on HitDisc and one of my local stations plays that version.  One major difference is that toward the end of the "Radio" version, the beat drops out and it's just the chorus with a synth behind it.

Anyone have more info on this version (i.e. run time, etc.)?

	Aaron, all I have is the version feat. Keri Hilson from Prime Cuts. It's labeled as [Radio] and runs 3:19.

	Obviously, the HitDisc you referenced is also TM Studios like Prime Cuts.

	Yes, that "Radio" version is different from the LP. The LP doesn't have a chorus at the end. After the "baby girl" rap part, it goes to an instrumental section for about 30 seconds and just ends cold (tracks into next selection). The "Radio" version has an end chorus and perhaps some other differences. Thanks for the run time info, John. It looks like Pat can incorporate this into the database.
