Born and raised in Tennessee, as a child he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. Timberlake won two Grammy Awards for his R&B-focused debut solo album Justified (2002) and its single "Cry Me a River". Another single from the album, "Rock Your Body", was also successful.
His critically acclaimed second album FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), characterized by its diversity in music genres, debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200 and spawned the Hot 100 consecutive number-one singles with "SexyBack", "My Love" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". Established as a solo artist worldwide, his first two albums both exceeded sales of 10 million copies, as he continued producing records and collaborating with other artists.
From 2008 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus. He held starring roles in the films The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, and In Time.
Timberlake resumed his music career in 2013 with his third and fourth albums The 20/20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2, exploring neo soul styles, partly inspired by the expansive song structures of 1960s and 1970s rock. The former became the best-selling album of the year and spawned the top three singles "Suit & Tie" and "Mirrors". Timberlake voiced Branch in DreamWorks Animation's Trolls (2016), whose soundtrack includes his fifth Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping single, "Can't Stop the Feeling!", which earned him an Academy Award nomination. His fifth studio album Man of the Woods (2018) became his fourth number-one album in the US. Supported by the two top ten singles, "Filthy" and "Say Something", it concluded 2018 as the sixth best-selling album of the year.

Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny
I could go number one ten times
Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny
Now I done banged a heap of Betties in various modes of transport
'N told them as they exit be sure that they close the damn door
The quiet country types is usually those I'm scared for[??]
Some scared at first, but usually those demand more
Really ain't conceited, I just call myself the cutterbug
A horny little parasite that all the women love to love
Tell you what it is today, I ain't concerned with what it was
Bubba fixin' to get it done, I put that on my brother ??
Hear them in the closet, in the kitchen, justa whisperin'
Bubba so psst psst knowing that I'm listening
I ain't gotta chain, boy my peck[?] is all that's glistenin'
Whachu steamin' on folk, y'all ain't even disciplined
I ain't leaving nothin', this the house me and my people built
Huggin' me and dappin' me, buddy I can see your guilt
It's cold when you're wrong and you lookin' like you need a quilt
Y'all matter less everytime this margarita tilt
I could go number one ten times
Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny
I could go number one ten times
Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny
A lot of y'all was thinkin' that Bubba would probably disappear
Get some show money from UGLY and buy a keg of beer
And another pig to give my other pigs some company
Rent a doublewide and just live it out in luxary
In due time, but there's business left to attend to
I need another farm to bequeath my next of kin to
And another ? before my great aunt Missy
Yea, I've been drinkin' but I ain't that pissy
Thinkin' back to when my daddy told me what it's all about
He said no matter what I do in life, some of y'all'll pout
I can deal with that long as all my folks is eatin' good
Let that channel pass over more than any Easter could
I'm on the roll again and I ain't talkin' ecstacy
Tell them folks at Interscope they fixin' to write some checks to me
Soon as me and Timmy finish up this latest pig schlop
Man I think you right, it ain't nothing but some hen???
I could go number one ten times
Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny
I could go number one ten times
Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny
I'm back off in the saddle with smile and that cajolery
Mama always knew how big a stallion I would grow to be
Way beyond these suckers both lyrically and vocally
I doubted for a moment, now it's clear to me I'm supposed to be
An uncanny whit plus a time that is impeccable
Make the sharpest cat feel his mind is just a vegetable
How does Bubba do it, you won't find it in a manual
Confused them all at first so this time is understandable
Staring at the ceiling fan, pondering my future now
Wondering what the hell to do with all this loot I found
Got my tractor polished up and I'm as drunk as Cooter Brown
Navigating yet another one of Timmy's supersounds
I could go number one ten times
Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny
I could go number one ten times
Pretty girls that like my rhymes
You can say Bubba ain't gonna shine
Guess wha, wha, don't really give a hootnanny...
The song "Hootnanny" by Justin Timberlake features rapper Bubba Sparxxx and is a braggadocious track about success and fame. The repeated line "I could go number one ten times" is a reference to having multiple hit songs. Bubba Sparxxx boasts about his ability to attract pretty girls with his rhymes, and dismisses any criticism by stating that he doesn't give a "hootnanny," meaning he doesn't care about others' opinions.
Throughout the song, Bubba Sparxxx reflects on his successes, such as having sex with many women, and expresses his desire to continue building his empire by acquiring more farms and property to pass down to his family. The verse where he mentions his father emphasizes the importance of taking care of his family, and that as long as they are taken care of, he can handle any criticism that comes his way. Overall, "Hootnanny" is a playful, tongue-in-cheek celebration of success and living life on one's own terms.

I am typically intimidated by shy, rural women
Some scared at first, but usually those demand more
These women may start timid, but often become more demanding
Really ain't conceited, I just call myself the cutterbug
I don't think I am overly arrogant, but I call myself a charmer
A horny little parasite that all the women love to love
I am a sexually attractive man that women desire

It's cold when you're wrong and you lookin' like you need a quilt
It is obvious when someone is in the wrong and uncomfortable
Y'all matter less everytime this margarita tilt
I care less about my haters as I drink more margaritas
A lot of y'all was thinkin' that Bubba would probably disappear
Many people thought I would fade away from the music scene
Get some show money from UGLY and buy a keg of beer
People expected me to waste my money on beer after a show
And another pig to give my other pigs some company
I could have bought more animals for my farm
Rent a doublewide and just live it out in luxary
I may have lived in a mobile home and enjoyed the finer things in life
In due time, but there's business left to attend to
I have more important things to do before I relax
I need another farm to bequeath my next of kin to
I plan to pass on my success to my family
And another ? before my great aunt Missy
I have other tasks to complete before addressing other family matters
Yea, I've been drinkin' but I ain't that pissy
I have been drinking, but I am not overly intoxicated
Thinkin' back to when my daddy told me what it's all about
My father taught me valuable life lessons
He said no matter what I do in life, some of y'all'll pout
Some people will always be negative, no matter what
I can deal with that long as all my folks is eatin' good
I am content as long as my family is well-fed and taken care of
Let that channel pass over more than any Easter could
I am not affected by negative opinions and focus on my success
I'm on the roll again and I ain't talkin' ecstacy
I am back on track and not referring to drug use
Tell them folks at Interscope they fixin' to write some checks to me
I am expecting to receive more money from my record company
Soon as me and Timmy finish up this latest pig schlop
As soon as I am finished with this project, I will receive more income
Man I think you right, it ain't nothing but some hen???
I agree, this project will be easy and profitable
I'm back off in the saddle with smile and that cajolery
I am back in control and using my charm to my advantage
Mama always knew how big a stallion I would grow to be
My mother always had faith in my potential
Way beyond these suckers both lyrically and vocally
I am a skilled artist, both in my lyrics and performance
I doubted for a moment, now it's clear to me I'm supposed to be
I had doubts about my success, but now I realize this was meant for me
An uncanny whit plus a time that is impeccable
I have a quick wit and excellent timing
Make the sharpest cat feel his mind is just a vegetable
I can make anyone feel inferior with my quick wit
How does Bubba do it, you won't find it in a manual
I have a unique talent that cannot be taught
Confused them all at first so this time is understandable
My success may have surprised some initially, but now it makes sense
Staring at the ceiling fan, pondering my future now
I am thinking about my future and what it holds
Wondering what the hell to do with all this loot I found
I am unsure of how to use my newfound wealth
Got my tractor polished up and I'm as drunk as Cooter Brown
I prepared my tractor and am somewhat intoxicated
Navigating yet another one of Timmy's supersounds
I am working on another music project with Timmy

I think this song was somewhat sampled in Hole In My Head by Justin Timberlake & Rihanna. Take a listen and see if you agree...after a while I think artists start recycling their sound lol.
