Background
The album was originally due to have been issued in late 2000, with the track "Roll Out" being issued as a promotional single that fall. However, the album was later held over and reworked. Timbaland and Magoo's regular collaborators, including Playa and Mad Skillz, appear on the album. Indecent Proposal includes several tracks featuring Timbaland's latest collaborators, Petey Pablo and Sebastian, who is also Timbaland's brother. Sebastian was one of several artists signed to Timbaland's short-lived Beat Club Records, as was Ms. Jade, who appears on "In Time". The album also features high-profile guest appearances by Jay-Z, and Ludacris, the latter of which had worked with Timbaland prior to becoming famous. Certain instrumentals used on the album were originally intended for Ginuwine's third LP, Life, but his record label, 550 Music, went against Timbaland producing the whole album - so Timbaland took some of the instrumentals and used them for himself.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
