Indecent Proposal is a 2001 album by hip-hop duo Timbaland & Magoo. The group's second LP (and Timbaland's third, as he issued Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment as a solo in 1998), Indecent Proposal takes its name from the 1993 film of the same name.

The LP was due to have been issued in late 2000 - "Roll Out" was issued as a promo single that fall - but was held over and reworked for a year. As such, it missed its mark in serving as the debut of new Missy Elliott and Timbaland discovery Tweet: by the time of Indecent Proposal's release in November 2001, Tweet had already appeared on Elliott's own Miss E...So Addictive. Elliott herself does not appear on Indecent Proposal (it is the only Timbaland LP on which she does not appear), although stalwart Timbaland collaborators Static of Playa and Mad Skillz do appear. Indecent Proposal includes several tracks featuring Timbaland's latest collaborators, Petey Pablo and Sebastian, 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". High-profile guest stars Jay-Z and Ludacris also make appearances.

Although "Roll Out" was issued as a promo single in fall 2000, the two official singles from Indecent Proposal were "Drop", featuring Fatman Scoop and the Indian-influenced "All Y'all". The final track on the album, "I am Music", was recorded as a collaboration between Aaliyah, Static, and rock musician Beck. However, Timbaland did not include Beck's vocal on the final released master, the final version instead features Timbaland's original demo vocal in Beck's place. By the time the LP was released, Aaliyah had died in an August 2001 plane crash; the LP is dedicated to her memory.
