"Its from a video game, idiot". Fuck. How I understand that is that I can pirate Timberland "music" whenever I want. Its from a CD, idiot! Why can't you just give credit where credit is due?
so basically he stole the music. He did something far worse than people who pirate or download pirated information. He ripped off someone's work, made money off it, and then took credit for it having represented himself as the creator of the work. That's straight up plagiarism. Tenure-track professors are fired for stuff like that.
@chestveeg "he made things which sounded good, because he knew what sounded good," is like saying anyone who likes a popular song has musical talent, I recently heard a great song, boy I sure am talented because I can recognize it sounds good lol, your a complete dipshit
@ATENakaATON just in case anyone else reads this chestveeg took what I said out of context to try and change its meaning what I typed was "he made things which sounded good, because he knew what sounded good, not because he was good, the man is entirely reliant on the work of others, because he can't write, play, or even comprehend music with serious depth" the point being he heard some good music and slightly augmented it so it could be rapped over with bars
@ATENakaATON Ultimately his sampling this song without permission means nothing to his legacy. The man is a great producer. For example my favorite song of his "Ice Box". The way he uses the sound of a clock for a kick and adds a sweeping spacey sound creates a feeling of a desert wasteland with eons of time passing by. Greatness in my opinion. Also Rhianna's "Rehab" and "Sell me Candy" are great. He has to many to count.
@chestveeg his legacy is a hussle, it's not musical talent, he made things which sounded good, because he knew what sounded good, not because he was good, the man is entirely reliant on the work of others, because he can't write, play, or even comprehend music with serious depth
@GhettoChildTaZ Another thing I don't understand is why people make such a big deal about this one song when he produced like 4 radio smash hits on the same album without samples. It's just stupid.
@ATENakaATON Woah woah woah. Sampling is a well respected and legitimate artistic tool of its own. DJ Shadow's "Endtroducing..." is made almost entirely of credited, non-original samples that he turned into fresh, new songs. If this asshole Timbaland wanted to do this the right way, he would have credited the composer, the actual musical talent, behind this song, but all he did is slap some drum samples over it and call it his own. His only foul was not crediting.
@bobertjr3 I never said it wasn't respected, but the Nazi's were respected at one point too and today Israeli Zionism is respected but it's still wrong. Now I'm not telling anyone not to sample (legally) either, however factually sampling is not a creating music because it is entirely reliant on other people who actually play music, if you aren't physically playing music with an instrument your not creating music. It is technically a musical talent, but its modification, not creation.
@ATENakaATON People can create music with e.g. the help of computers, so one doesn't have to play an actual instrument to make music. But yeah, sampling itself isn't creating music, and nowadays anyone can sample.
@autotunepop the computer and it's program would be the instrument, I see what your saying, but I still consider it playing just in a different way, it is not the tool I see as a problem, it's the method of using other peoples notes which they played and recorded
@autotunepop I'll put it like this, a hammer can be used as a instrument of murder but that doesn't mean that is its only use, the computer with the music program is an instrument which can be used to create music by putting in notes and pushing play to hear them or you can copy and paste the work of others and modify it, you can create or sample, I have no problem with the tool/instrument used, it's how it's used, that is sampling and calling it creation when you didn't create

@87687696 simple fact is you sample because your not intelligent and/or creative enough to break out some instruments and write and play your own music, it would be one thing to sample sounds, like say an automobile wreck, or a door closing, the wind, dogs barking, etc. things you can't play on an instrument, but you take the music written and played showing how untalented you are, you leech off the talent of others and even with all that it's still too hard for you, you suck that much

Well folks, THIS IS HOW IT WORKS, Average guy, "samples" like timbaland does, and then earns money from it, YOU GO TO JAIL OR PAY A HEAVY FINE, or both, but these pop artists do it, its cool cos they have money and fans wch buy into the bullshit coming out of their mouths and stick up for them.
Fact is, this guy STOLE from them, end of, now any money he earned from his ripped off tune needs to be paid to the real creators.
@clitmint well actually they have teams of people that get the samples cleared for them and most of the time the original artists get paid. Some of the time the original artist cud care less its the production companys that care cuz they want their cut. Why not be angry at the labels for not givin artists their real cut from their records?
oh god wud yall shut the hell up? anyone on here that says theyve never rocked to a timbaland record is a DAMN LIAR lets keep it 100. timbaland makes awesome records containing unique samples that NOONE else thinks of.. People calling him talentless..get behind a keyboard or an mpc and make something as hot as his then u can talk UNTIL THEN STFU and GTFOH
@SimonSayzMusic so if u dont like timbaland cuz he "stole the sample" then dont listen to hip hop or rock at all. Because 95% of all music contains some form of sampling or interpolation. People just put their own spin on things plain and simple
@SimonSayzMusic ok so if u dont like timbaland for "stealing" then dont listen to 90% of music (rap rock tech etc) because it all contains samples or some type of interpolation. Sampling is an art. Anyone that says "ohh anyone can do that"....is broke and probably frustrated and posting hatin ass videos like this...
Jesus, according to this twat's definition of "sampling" I'll just take one of his beats, layer a synth on top, then release it is a dance track. I'd get sued to high heaven. What a pathetic person.
According to Timbaland, he flipped the Casio demo. That's the kind of thing you do when you just purchased a new instrument and are screwing around with the knobs. It would be lazy to release that..
Timbo def didnt flip that sample in no skilled way as a matter of fact both him and swizz beats are not good at sampling they straight Plagiarize. Maybe all beatmakers should download tons of timbaland samples and instrumentals and straight Jack his stuff...LOL
Timbaland should have given the original composer credit when this all came out....or he should of settled atleast with some form of compensation.....I think the Janne suni guy had all right to come out, any one of us including timbaland himself would have behaved the same way if we heard a big hit single with our composition in it
Lame Timaland retard. Stealing is taking the file, sampling is recoding a piece and using it as soounds. Lame f*ck ripping someone of is taking a full section and claiming it to be theirs.
NOTHING F*CKING EVER is public domain unless it says so. If you didn't see anything stating it was free to use, the assumption must be that it's NOT!
Being American does not equal legally entitled to rip foreigners off.
Haha, he's obviously lying. It wasn't sampled like he says, for someone to actually hear the tune and recreate the same exact sounds with the same notes, it's impossible.
What paint and brushes are to art, instruments are to music; what drawing is to art, playing the instrument is to music; what the picture via the product of technical skill and imagination is to art the song is to music; and what copy and paste, or tracing.is to art, sampling is to music. Sampling takes about the same amount of talent and skill as digital collage. What Greg Land is to comic books, producers who sample are to music. Sampling musically is pathetic.
@GhettoChildTaZ What makes you think I'm not rich now? As for fame, that would be a total curse, the idea of not being able to go anywhere without a heap of hassle. I don't want to be known by the world, truth is the richest people are relatively obscure in reference of the common man and they prefer it that way. Fame is a ball and chain, don't buy into the hype, it's also incredibly expensive, because of the money you have to spend on security.
@ATENakaATON how do you know im not musically diverse?? i play 4 instruments and produce rock hip hop and dubstep. i grew up listening to everythhing from old 70s funk to yanni my g. Sorry that comment is a lil offensive to me brah and calling me short-sighted? heh u have know idea about the scope of my musical knowledge.
@GhettoChildTaZ because of what you typed and the idiocy behind the idea sampling brings people to new genres, and what you listed was pop music, short sighted
@ATENakaATON And to say it is that easy?? cmon man if it was that easy there wud be no timbaland cuz everyone wud be doing it. theres more to it then looping the sample and putting drums over it. Plain and simple timbaland started from the bottom and worked his ass off. Give the man some credit.
@GhettoChildTaZ playing and writing music is hard which is why so few are doing it, sampling is easy so everyone is doing it, there are a lot of producers and "their" work sounds good, after all all they have to do is modify something which already sounds good so it can be rapped over, they just don't know how to hustle, hip hop is all about the hustle and a minute amount talent, once you can get the people's faith your on easy streak, faith is the crucible of hustling
@OBSysteme Ain't no such thing as black music. The music that came out America is just that American music. Not black or white. The cold hard truth is the music would simply not exist if not for Europeans either who co-influenced it with the African Americans. Even Hip Hop has its influences from the Scottish settlers who came here.
@Supernaturalalisa True, though it wasn't blacks who called it 'black music' at first, it was white racists who told told white people not to listen to that "negro shit" and told blacks it was rubbish. Recall those old bans on playing anything above an 'E' in the 20's & 30's. So it was really forced on blacks to take the music. Parallels the reasons why 'mixed race' people came to be simply considered 'black'.
So I think Black people taking whole ownership is to be somewhat excused.
Some peopLe miss the concept... Go Look at Andy WarhoLs "paintings" then come back and caLL TimbaLand aLL these names...... Not onLy him but I mean-- Frank Shepard Fairey and his "OBEY" CLothes... Barack Obama's "hope" painting...
I mean-- I'm not defending him, I'm just saying... Broaden your horizons a LittLe bit foLks...
I love Timbaland's music, I really do. But after this, I have ZERO respect for him. Sorry Timbaland, I can't purchase your music after this. Sampling's one thing, but this is stealing. He didn't just take a clip from the song, he took the whole melody from it and didn't even change it. Sorry bud, but you stole their music, and until you acknowledge the original composer, you won't be getting my money. Not like you need it, but it's the principle of it.
He could've paid a royalty. I mean That SID tune has been on High Voltage SID collection repository long before he used it, and he used "sampled" the fuckin thing VERBATIM.
This is the textbook definition of a NIGGER. I'm not racist by the way, but this cats a thievin ass nigger. Sample my ass, mafucka took the whole fuckin thing.
Lol I cant believe the people on here that are making a big deal about sampling a riff from a video game lol. Do you know all the talnet that went into making the song a hit. Timbaland made the little electronic video game sample GREAT. He added layers to it and beats to make it what it was. All he has to do is drop the video game company some money and case closed.
@chestveeg WHY IS YOUR COMMENT NOT THE TOP COMMENT?? well said man all these fools on here just hating cuz tim has more talent in his pinky toe than they have in their entire family tree lol sampling is an art PERIOD
@chestveeg nah, the little electronic video game made Timbaland great, not literally of course, just in the eyes of retards like you who wouldn't know a c note from a f note
@brendonian That host was practically lapping his tongue at Timbs nuts! "HAHAHAHAHA!!!" I still have yet to figure out what was so "funny". o_O Kiss-ass...
I'm thinking of "sampling" Timbaland albums and selling them on a carboot sale. By his own admission, as long as I don't break into his house and steal them I'm not doing anything wrong.
Alot of people on here hating and wasting their breath. Timbaland doe snot care of give a fuck what you think about the situation. He's paid and he's a legend in the production field......Fallback.
@snowbunniluver85 He might have paid but he's still a cunt for taking someone else's work without permission and then insulting the guy. By his standards, it would be totally fine if I took his song, said "I did this" and sold it. This fucker has to get real and learn that you can't do whatever the fuck you want without there being consequences.
If you make music, MAKE IT. That's what I do and that's what most producers do. He didn't make ANY music there.
Stupid nigga !!! If you don't own the rights to use the samples...you're stealing it fool !!! This case was a good spot to show you that even with Creative Commons, we, little creative people, can easily get raped with our own stuffs !!!
y'all need to buy shirts saying I'm a simple bitch. get real ppl wtf are you complaining about?if you can do the shit he does then i will listen to your shit too, but until then shut the fuck up.geez ppl enjoy the music re re's
A denegerate fucking thief. Not only did he steal, but he also acts like an arrogant asshole. I hope his career crashes and burns. Of course it won't, but one can dream.
I'd be more sympathetic to Timbaland if he wasn't being represented by an industry organization that is waging a war on filesharing. If sampling is OK, so is sharing.
see i like the dudes music and i respect his sampling skills... BUT, what he's doing is working around the system. using samples that he thinks cant be trace which means he gets all the money. look at kanye west back in his prime. even though he uses samples, he gets permission. THATS HOW IT WORKS! its not about how much of the song he uses! ITS ABOUT THE FACT HE DIDNT PAY THE MAN AND HE REFUSED TO HIS FACE!!
He actually thinks people can't see it is the exact same song. The original composer even zoomed in 2000% or more to see the waveforms, it was his exact stuff (the SID arp sounds that is). So he stole the song AND partly the sound. And thought people are stupid enough to not hear it, or else he wouldn't defend himself. Amazing.
since most of you dont know the first thing about producing and copyright law, its no surprise you think he didnt answer the question correctly. He is not used to explaining this stuff to non musicians. what he was saying is that there is a clear legal difference between saying "I composed this " and "I used this recording".1st is about the idea (wich noone can take away without legal consequences) 2nd is about this particular recording.thats two different sets of rights right there.
Using a composition is way more costy than using a recording. Also stealing(= not registering that you used) from a composition can have fatal legal consequences, while stealing a recording is pretty much okay. its up to the owner of the recording to "sample claim". If you arent famous you can use every sample without having to worry , but if you´re timbaland , of course people will sample claim, and even people who he didnt steal from will be among them. thats what this is about.
Just love how he never denies he stole the song. What he is saying is, if I download his song and did I not go to his house and steal it, its all legal. oohh and that interviewer, he is so star struck he couldn't tell mouth from ass.
Stealing is physically going to the original producer's house? If we follow this logic, illegal downloading isn't stealing (since you didn't actually go to a store and take a CD with you without paying). But the thing is that it is. That's why it's illegal. I expected more valid reasons to justify what he did, it's disappointing.
Ima sum it all up, dude ain't a real musician, he's an opportunist, and for that I give this no real music talent having brotha props cuz he actually made YOU the listeners gossip about his repetitive trax, the fact is off you don't like it don't listen to it, this is america baby
what a shitsack - he thinks that since "it's from a video game," the original composer is an "idiot" and he has the right to rip it off...I used to dig Shock Value but not anymore.
This happens all the time. Though his actions weren't right, other artists do the same thing. Take Daft Punk for example they didn't give credit to Sister sledge for aerodynamic.
@AgimA74 No I didn't say it was ok. What I'm saying is that theses situations occur all the time. I know its wrong but what can you do about. Complaining won't change anything. Another person for example is Kanye. He does the whole "sampling" thing all the time and so does Daft Punk. There are many songs that you can say that sound alike, being that there is only 12 notes in music.
@SuperMscheeks Erm... It wasn't stolen from a game, but from an artist... (If that's what you're asking) There are chips that you can put into keyboards i believe that give you the whole 8/16bit sounds
check this retard man he not only stealing the music but also insulting the original creator of the music wtf !!! also he is saying that "stealing is walking in ur home and stealing ur beats" then lets all download his fucking music and sample man fuck i didnt went in his home to steal it fuck him
@StreetzBeatz Shut the fuck up you don't even know much about music,do you know how to produce successful music?He samples not steals.Stealing is actually what he said just in a less blunt way take it or leave it.sampling is taking a part of the song,changing it up and making it into your own sound which he does because his beats are not exactly the same as the original at all,he has to change it up in a way add drums,piano,different instrumental sounds for it to sound familiar to previous work
@StreetzBeatz do i need to know you because i don't agree with your hatred for a great hiphop producer,telling from ur profile name ur probably striving for where his gotten,i'd be mad to keep your hate to yourself and i'll do the same since ur an idiot in the sense that your sat in ur chair critising timberlands work even though you do not know him n yet you want me to keep my 'non sense' to myself. Go back to school stupid motherfucka acting like you can produce anything better then wat he has
@jwings84 Don't be a retard. I think most of us know what sampling is. And you have it a bit backwards there even. Sampling is using a recorded part of another song. That's it. Then do whatever you want to it, or nothing. Timbo did that and more.
I think Timbo is great (I have friends featured on his albums btw - yay!) but he just went too far here again, and this interview puts him in a really bad light. He should've told him not to ask that question before the interview.
Stealing is if I physically go to your house. Sampling is if I just take it.... WHAT?! "I don't know what's public domain" then don't use it... research your shii so that this doesn't happen!
You cant really say shit when we all steal his music anyway who here honestly buys cd's. if it sounds good shut the fuck up and nod ur fucking head otherwise do better.
Sampling should be where you give credit to where you get the loop. What Timbaland did is steal, not giving credit where it's due. Having "no credits" or "no time" to find out who composed a song is a horrible excuse for a producer like Timbaland. I say Timbaland should tell the truth, pay credit to where it's due, shut up, and be more considerate when he "samples" music.
this guy is a douchelord... the best thing he ever did for music was steal from a friendly unsuspecting finnish dude... you can gargle my load timbaland
What a fraud, Timbaland is a talentless hack, plus he's black, black people have no values and are thieves.

Well folks, THIS IS HOW IT WORKS, Average guy, "samples" like timbaland does, and then earns money from it, YOU GO TO JAIL OR PAY A HEAVY FINE, or both, but these pop artists do it, its cool cos they have money and fans wch buy into the bullshit coming out of their mouths and stick up for them.
Fact is, this guy STOLE from them, end of, now any money he earned from his ripped off tune needs to be paid to the real creators.

@clitmint well actually they have teams of people that get the samples cleared for them and most of the time the original artists get paid. Some of the time the original artist cud care less its the production companys that care cuz they want their cut. Why not be angry at the labels for not givin artists their real cut from their records?

What paint and brushes are to art, instruments are to music; what drawing is to art, playing the instrument is to music; what the picture via the product of technical skill and imagination is to art the song is to music; and what copy and paste, or tracing.is to art, sampling is to music. Sampling takes about the same amount of talent and skill as digital collage. What Greg Land is to comic books, producers who sample are to music. Sampling musically is pathetic.

@GhettoChildTaZ playing and writing music is hard which is why so few are doing it, sampling is easy so everyone is doing it, there are a lot of producers and "their" work sounds good, after all all they have to do is modify something which already sounds good so it can be rapped over, they just don't know how to hustle, hip hop is all about the hustle and a minute amount talent, once you can get the people's faith your on easy streak, faith is the crucible of hustling

@OBSysteme Ain't no such thing as black music. The music that came out America is just that American music. Not black or white. The cold hard truth is the music would simply not exist if not for Europeans either who co-influenced it with the African Americans. Even Hip Hop has its influences from the Scottish settlers who came here.
Supernaturalalisa 2 months ago
@Supernaturalalisa True, though it wasn't blacks who called it 'black music' at first, it was white racists who told told white people not to listen to that "negro shit" and told blacks it was rubbish. Recall those old bans on playing anything above an 'E' in the 20's & 30's. So it was really forced on blacks to take the music. Parallels the reasons why 'mixed race' people came to be simply considered 'black'.
So I think Black people taking whole ownership is to be somewhat excused.

He actually thinks people can't see it is the exact same song. The original composer even zoomed in 2000% or more to see the waveforms, it was his exact stuff (the SID arp sounds that is).

since most of you dont know the first thing about producing and copyright law, its no surprise you think he didnt answer the question correctly.

Using a composition is way more costy than using a recording. Also stealing(= not registering that you used) from a composition can have fatal legal consequences, while stealing a recording is pretty much okay. its up to the owner of the recording to "sample claim". If you arent famous you can use every sample without having to worry , but if you´re timbaland , of course people will sample claim, and even people who he didnt steal from will be among them. thats what this is about.

Stealing is physically going to the original producer's house? If we follow this logic, illegal downloading isn't stealing (since you didn't actually go to a store and take a CD with you without paying). But the thing is that it is. That's why it's illegal. I expected more valid reasons to justify what he did, it's disappointing.

@jwings84 Don't be a retard. I think most of us know what sampling is. And you have it a bit backwards there even. Sampling is using a recorded part of another song. That's it. Then do whatever you want to it, or nothing. Timbo did that and more.
I think Timbo is great (I have friends featured on his albums btw - yay!) but he just went too far here again, and this interview puts him in a really bad light. He should've told him not to ask that question before the interview.

Sampling should be where you give credit to where you get the loop. What Timbaland did is steal, not giving credit where it's due. Having "no credits" or "no time" to find out who composed a song is a horrible excuse for a producer like Timbaland. I say Timbaland should tell the truth, pay credit to where it's due, shut up, and be more considerate when he "samples" music.
