oh Lord, i miss artists like Cat Stevens, making their own music and get their money because they are talents... and spent it for poor people. Today samplers earn millions, buying golden rings and the real creators are still poor, too often... bad times for music and strange youth... :(
We knew he was a sampler when we heard The timbaland knight rider beat! All he did was flip it tho. I dont think he stole the idea. He jus flipped it so it sounds better! HIs beats still are sick even if he saved them or not!
I listen to music for how it sounds, not how difficult is was to create. That being said, I don't listen to productions made by Timbaland simply because I don't like either the artist and/or the production. If he doesn't give credit, he's practically waiting to be sued.
Wow, people are arguing about this bullshit? The originals are fucking weak. Would you honestly listen to the originals full blast? Timbaland took some horrible sounding music and made it sound much better. If people want to cry about copyrigghts and the laws, than quit supporting youtube. The biggest thieves on the internet by far. So shut the fuck up like you really give a fuck about the laws and all that bullshit. Quit bitchin and go download your favorite album before it comes out. TIMBALAND
I only have two favorites when it comes to producing and Timbaland is one of them. But my opinion? That shit is pure "Hi-Jacking"!
You just took a piece of respect from my heart after I've seen this. Not to mention, he thinks he's a pure Indian. It all makes since now. Him screaming over the tracks with these "Tribal Callings" in the background.
Heyy, there are millions of teen rappers on the world and i am only one, but if you could click my name and listen and leave me a comment it can make my dream become a reality. Please Like this so everyone can see(: Thank you!!!
and btw its not considered stealing but its not talent either, its one thing to piece the beat together one by one, and its entirely different to take a big chunk of a pre-made song and change two or three things in it and say you made it. any one of you on here can sample and say you made a beat but no even close to all of you have the talent to produce a beat from scratch.
fuck mainstream music it all sucks.. sampling is not real talent no argument there, these artists have no message in their music its all the same, all it is, is subliminal bs, all the good artists stay underground and make real hip hop, not controlled hip hop like mainstream, they feed you all the bs and you eat it up like little baby's.. and now hip hop is fading because their trying to let the gay pop scene take over the radio. when will you people wake the fuck up....
@xBlackOutx21 there is something about the R&B and Rap cultures that has put black american music down the wrong path, effectively ending musical innovation, which had been a tradition for decades from this group... when image, attitudes and lyrical messages became all that counted and were then slapped on generic beats and "borrowed melodies".
Black music is Dead, long live Black music!
Its time to throw it all in the garbage and go back to listening to some Herbie Hancock from the 1970's.
@q0zi yes but what is "not far" in terms of black music is not my idea of good or interresting or innovative music... meaning the mainstream, those that dominate... Grant you that there is alot of "unknown" black music that is excellent in the underground. But you had better sing about bling, hoes and push out generic walmart beats if you hope to please the legions, I guess... boy I must be in a bad mood... again!
Are yall fucking stupid did you not just see this beat was used on tons of different song and tim uses it and ya say it is stealing firat
Off what about all the other songs with that type of beat... Are they stealing as your dumb ass suggests tim is doing NO dumb ass they just mixing that shit up its a nice beat unless the beat is the exaaact same as another then it isnt stealing these beats are sampling mixed or recreated better in a different way there is alot of beats out there like that tha
sampling is taking a piece of music, chopping and flipping it to something new. What Timbaland is doing is straight up jacking the whole song, and thats fine AS LONG AS YOU GIVE CREDIT/ROYALTIES to the person you are taking from. Timbaland did none of this.
And if I were those people I would be happy that Timbaland sampled my song & now everybody knows about it ;) If not that situation half of us would probably never heard of these people and their songs ;)
Timbaland didn't take somebody's complete song and called it his own, he took just a little peace. I can understand that you may hear something and forget where you heard it and it gets stuck in your head.
I'd prefer he credited those people,but I can imagine you don't have time to do the research when you producing so many songs.
You can add "Aaliyah - We Need A Resolution" (2001) from "John Ottoman - Tricks of the Trade" (1997) to that. It's from a movie.
But you know what, I don't agree with that guy is saying at the end of the video, 'cause Timbaland used only a piece of somebody's music and not a "whole page and called it his collage" or however that guy is reffering to it.
what's funny is he probably thought "nobody's gonna recognize this raghead music if i rip it! no way man, none of them listen to my music!"
same thing went for the "video game music" he tried to rip. none of those chip music guys ever really got their dues back when they deserved them over 15 years ago. the internet just wasn't around. TIMBO! THE DAYS OF DIAL UP BBS ARE OVER!
i have a feeling the people he ripped off for venus vs mars and off that are gonna surface.
This is what all the newer rap/hip-hop artists do. Listen to Eminem's "Sing For A Moment". How about Jibbs and "Chain Hang Low"? It's not stealing, it's sampling.
this is just sampling! It's how hip hop is made. If u check the sleeve states on any of these tracks, it'll say the track he samples. He credits everything. if u wanna call him a theif, u gotta call primo a theif, and dre and RZA and almost every other top tier hip hop producer.
@slimshaid what he did for nelly furtado - do it is blatant plagiarism. he didn't take a few seconds of the song and chop it like primo or rza do with the mpc, he interpolated most of the song and ripped the melody.
@slimshaid dre sampled george clinton, but told everyone right away that he sampled it from george clinton and gave credit and royalties to george clinton.
Timbaland is stealing, if he doesn't pay the original songwriters, or record labels that the songs belong to. Yes, foreign music belongs to foreign labels, that doesn't mean you can just claim you don't know where it's from. HONEST hip hop producers already know this, and get their samples cleared by their record labels and paid for BEFORE they sell them to other artists. Timbaland is STEALING.
The last Furtado song is the most shocking one...Tim's version sounds almost exactly like the original.
I won't say all the respect i had for him completely vanished. I listened to the original Arabic songs he stole from to make Aaliyah's two singles and i don't think just about anyone could take such a small piece of a song and create a completely new, different and great song out of it, like he did. So yes he is talented, but man, is it that hard to give some credit to the original artists?
That aint shit how many people do,say,or act just like some thing that already happend,some likes a shirt u want the same one or car or jeans sour who smokes sour cuz you heard it you want it he took something old and made it hot ! niggaz get ideas from something thats old and make it new uf ya think he stupid or pussy,Who is the one wit all the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAMPLING IS WHEN YOU GIVE CREDIT TO THE MUSIC YOUR TAKING FROM. THIS IS DONE SO THE PEOPLE WITH THE ORIGINAL MUSIC CAN RECEIVE ROYALTIES. IF U CHECK ONLINE, HE HASN'T GIVEN CREDIT TO ANYONE.
Shit man. I used to look up to Timbo. All he does is copy paste and put down a phat drumloop. The original pieces are great, and his input DOES add some magic. On some songs he does use the samples, and brings it to another level. But to claim them as your own, that's low.
LOL...when you sample you have to give some form of credit back to the original artist. I've live majority of my life here in VA. now and same area where all the VA. producers and artist come out of but, I can't ride wit ya on this cuz on this topic I've got to say Timbo sounds like your busted! I can't recall you given much credit to anyone.
There is nothing wrong with sampling, as long as you give credit (and payment) where credit (and payment) is due. Timbaland never gave credit or paid his dues. There are industry standards on how to acquire permission, and how much to pay for that permission. If you don't follow these procedures then you deserve to be sued.
omg are u all stupid everyone uses everyone's beats and lyrics these days they have for years maybe they all should be sued....no ones beats are original anymore the only thing they can make original is their lyrics but even sometimes they cant do that even if they do take everyone else's beats ill still support them what makes them different is how they they mix it up with their own style
my heart is broken! im serious I grew up on Timbaland. I mean the whole crew. Ginuwine, Missy, Playa, Aaliyah, Magoo, Sebastian, Nicole Wray...everybody! Im very hurt
Haha I think it's cool he actually sampled some of these middle eastern artists, but he doesn't even begin to compare to the likes of DJ Premier, the RZA, etc.
wow timberland is obsessed with arabic music huh he sure did his research , he probably thought know one in the west would ever know about it! thank god for youtube
Thats why company's alike have huge network systems to search if ur creation is allready made or not,unless they dont have one in the music industry,which i doubt with all the major suing process over the decades,why didnt he look it up when WE,the people,have been able to?doesnt he have enough money to do so,or is he just a poser?
Damn get off Timbalands back, if you dont patten and stay on top yo shit. Anyone can do as they please and make it sound way better. On the other hand 99.9% of those tracks were done justice and made HITS.
@Matthewsinger2011 but if you sample and don't get clearance for the sample you're stealing... because none of the royalties are going to the original artist... for example producer Chucky Thompson (produced a lot of hits for Mary J Blige) loves sampling from Al Green... if you look at the liner notes Al Green is listed as a writer so Al Green gets royalties from those Mary J Blige songs... Timb, however is keeping the royalties for himself
I THINK hes stealing....but he got so many good beats..i dont believe he stole all of them....like all the aaliyah , ginuwine, magoo beats,missy elliot....i think he has sick beats....well if you can prove he stole all of them then i say he sucks...but right now i say he makes dope ass beats
@TheKoreanX there's no doubt that he's sampling but on the liner notes of the records there's no sample clearance for any of the records so he was keeping all royalties for himself... kind of grimey
@TheKoreanX right but you CREDIT by law the original composer and generally have to pay a lucrative user rights agreement fee. Timbafake however credits himself and somehow with his lawyers drops the case against him or pays an out of court fee. He is a overweight flake with the charisma of a damp rag who needs to disappear
@TheKoreanX okay, sampling maybe. but i never see any credit. and he can get away with it because a vast majority of americans dont listen to arabic or finnish music, so its kind of hard to catch.
@TheKoreanX It's not like he gives them credit or asks permission or acknowledges the original artists in any way. he would like it to seem like his beats are original because he never even mentions 'sampling' in liner notes. face it, he is a phony thief.
@RockxLee Read what I just typed you fucking retarded Naruto fag. I just said that sampling is how you make hip hop music, I wasn't trying to defend Timbaland, but instead trying to find a less extreme position somewhere in the middle. Unlike you, (I'm pretty sure) I am a musician and I understand these things. Instead of trying to argue against everything you don't like like the rest of the kids on YouTube, just take it with a grain of salt and move on.
@TheKoreanX sampling isn't taking someone elses shit and speeding it up and adding vocals you fucking idiot lmao...tell me how this dude uses like 3 minute long "samples" he adds like a kick and some vocals and makes a couple of million dollars...
@skimxfast I'm glad you're such an expert on making music... Instead of trying to prove me wrong why don't you just go and make some better music then we'd all be happy.
@TheKoreanX If he was sampling, he'd be giving artists credit. But he just rerecorded a piece of music and claimed all rights to it. It ain't no sampling, it is daylight robbery.
@TheKoreanX call it what you'd like, it's stealing in any case. you'd think they'd have some ounce of originality, like creating it from scratch, not tweaking from existing music.
You don't make hip-hop music by taking an existing track and adding a beat. Sampling needs a lot of work to be worth considering it a separate composition.
@TheKoreanX That's no hip hop and will never be sampling. Sampling is giving credit to the original artists and not pretend like You're the one who created it like he did with the Finnish band. Check Kanye West, Dr. Dre etc... They actually write on their albums "sampled from x, y... etc"
timbaland is not taking a whole page someone else wrote and saying he wrote it. clearly we all know he's using something that's also being created but he's added on to it. More Than a Woman uses the arabic melody but how bout everything else about the song? I appreciate how he can use these songs and recreate and have a vision for them outside of just being 'old arabic music'.
@TWON123 ... but... if you look at the liner notes for More than a Woman... just Timb and Barry Gibb is listed as writers... no credit is giving to where it's sampled from. Therefore the sample's owner doesn't get any royalties... therefor it's stealing... no one is saying that sampling is stealing... they are just saying that he didn't clear those samples and is keeping those royalties to himself and that is stealing
@Brummy010 #2 The payment you are referring to would involve Timbaland paying royalties to the authors of the original work, through their respective publishers or labels, something that we know for a fact isn't being done since many are dead, or not represented by Performance Rights Organizations who overlook and enforce the artists rights to collect royalties. P.S. To say that "Sampling is one of the most creative things you can do in music!" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
@Brummy010 In order to rightfully say that you have sampled someone else's work and not straight out STOLEN, your final product must differ musically from the original. To simply put it, sampling should be done with the purpose of embellishing an entirely new song with a portion of an existing piece. (Continued)
Don't be stupid! Timbaland's just making beats the Hip-Hop way! Sampling is how you make original Hip-Hop instrumentals AND it's a part of Hip-Hop culture! PLUS, he also has to pay money LEGALLY before he uses the song he remixes (clearing it). Sampling is also used in in other forms of music like Drum and Bass, Techno, Pop etc etc! Anybody who knows about how Hip-Hop came about knows what I'm talking about! Sampling is one of the most creative things you can do in music!
@Brummy010 Alright, let me break it down to you kiddo, your argument is flawed in two critical points. #1 There is a difference between sampling and copying (what Timbaland has done here). When you sample someone else's work you take a SMALL PORTION of their music, and use it as a BASE to BUILD an ENTIRELY NEW MUSICAL PIECE. The beats shown in this video are not only identical to the original works, many of them are even in the same key, meter, and tempo as the original. (Continued)
That is an awesome vid! Love your explanation too :]
I can't say Timbaland was sampling but it's not pure stealing either in ALL the cases cz the tempo is different in some and there are added instrumentals. The whole music industry is tainted anyway so don't hate the player, hate the game!
Stop hating, Kanye sampling all the damn time, all he did was sample from some artist from overseas where they areent any copyright laws and no need for him to clear the samples.....Business wise he is a damn genius!
@JORD4096 There are copyright laws for music in Saudi Arabia. If they have the law in Saudi then i'm pretty sure they have it everywhere. This guy is a thief and the only reason he wasn't caught till 2007 was because he steals from artists who will never listen to his music. Some of them are DEAD. The thing that pisses me off is that he says he's a genuis. The only genuises are the Arabs who have the best ears when it comes to music. PEACE
@fip25 Music is free, okay? Fuckin music rights and fuckin commercialism, don't you realise that music is free? You can do anything with it, okay? So Timbaland does like other DJs and producers
@linkelfovampiro Yeah, but the thing is with this kind of music; it's all commercial. The only thing they think of when they open pro tools and make "music" is a dollar sign, and how you're all gonna eat that shit up like a bunch of zombies. You are all fucked in the head for listening to this shit in the first place. Listen to someone who plays music from the fucking heart.
"plagiarism" and its against the law. many pop "art"-ists plagiarize even older music that was once popular in American not even 5-10 years ago, i dont see why no one has noticed yet, but Rihanna is famous by doing NOTHING but the plagiarism of music from all over. like Romanian artist O-Zone's "Dragostea Din Tei" ('mya hee, mya hoo') AND Italian Eiffel 65's "Blue" (da bu de da bu dy)
i can't stand this country's pop culture. its so unjust that it makes me sick to the point that i have an ulcer
lol wtf is wrong with people sayin " its called samplin" its sampling when you give credit to the people that actually made it, stealing is what timbaland does he doesnt want to give any credit cuz he doesnt wanna pay the royalties he should pay for sampling. fkin theft
i say fuck the arabs. those motherfuckers along with eurpeaons and along with the fucking africans stole a group of people and sold them into slavery. and yall fucking complaing about stealing some fucking music. SO i say fuck the arabs, fuck the africans and fuck the europeans. Timberland, you have the right to steal what the fuck you want. These motherfuckers who are complaining stole our ancestors and sold them into slavery, so fuck'em.
@sidmar23323 People are complaining about timbaland because he's profiteering from the work of other creative artists. You're a bit of a tool if you think black people can play the slavery card to get away with stealing.
@CastilloBeats LoL, samples? Are you retarded? People refuse to recognize reality because they attach their idols' dicks down their throat leaving a mark.
Lmfao, I guarantee you 48,000 of the viewers on here don't know shit about music production. What Timbaland did was called "sampling". Sampling is getting permission from the original artist to recreate their song into their own version. It's not "stealing". Sampling happens all the time in every genre of music, so quit whining. Dislike.
Ah.. I recognized a lot of the Arabic songs, I grew up on it. I'm familiar with a lot of the other songs listed as well. I don't think I would have noticed that without the video exactly. It's bogus, credit should be given. He probably just sits on his lazy ass and youtubing Arabic songs. If it was on a mixtape, then I would totally understand. But other than that, it's bull shit. Who knows, bet he has done this with other songs too.
free hip hop beats to hop on follow this massage help me by subscribeing ill try bring you the best and coolest music i can ill also sub back to you free beats and music check out my channle
hey lets say some one takes an instrumental of someone that post it up on youtube and used it for their album which they made it with or contracts or the dude isnt a real rapper just underground is it ILLEGAL?????? yes or no tell me plzz
fuckin thief i had respect for his beats but this copycat is doing nothing but stealing beats from the other part of the world hoping no one will notice it fuckiin copycat made millions by stealing he must go to prison
he's like fucking copy and pasting.. like ex On fruity loops lets say you take a Midi File and import it into the project... the layout and sounds of the song is right in front of you in pattern piano roll form.. you can change the instruments there into just more sounding hip hop based instrument and it sounds different you know... its like an extremely easy way of doing a cover song in its entirety with it sounding different... Thats why he didnt give credit cause copy and pasting stealing!
copy or no copy, he still makes it sick.its called sampling and recreating a sound!! if he doesnt give credit to tthese guys, then he is a KANTT (as wesay in the UK)
who fuckin cares, guys got mad skills sticky fingers or not, as da vinci said all artist are thiefs something someone somewhere inspired them to creat somethin more.
@SuperJizzyJ When you're inspired by something you don't take the SAME BEAT and claim it's yours. If you see a painting and you're inspired by it, u don't draw the SAME drawing SAME colors and claim you made it urself. THATS STEAALINNGG
Timbaland is absolutely a thief but as far as that 8-bit SID chip riff from "Ayo Technology" goes, anybody with an Elektron SIDStation or a chiptunes emulator can make a similar sound. Crystal Castles act like they invented that sound but countless other chiptune artists have used it and its widely accessible in a several 8-bit/chiptune sample packs. Crystal Castles are thieves themselves and what goes around comes around, Ethan!
Uh, no he's not a theif, ya'll just fuckin hate because he took somebody's shit song and polished it up into gold. like they say, one man's garbage is another man's treasure. As for the arabic songs, ya'll are fucking idiots, nobody says shit when kanye samples from old school songs, or just blaze. EVERY producer SAMPLES at least once in their career...retards
@ILLeniumBeats "EVERY producer "? ummm, no. sampling is something that is done primarily in hip hop and hip hop is only one musical genre out of many. most times when someone samples a song they get permission from the original artist or at least credit them for it. however timbaland claims his beats to be original. but i do not neccessarily disagree with him doing so. seing it is the american national anthem is sang to a borrowed melody.
@skater7744 so he claims absolute originality on all these sampled songs? so you're positive that in the album credits nowhere does it credit any of these artists as being sampled? i find that difficult to believe
Oh for music sake, can't we just enjoy the song, all TImbaland is doing is taking a Curry and adding some "Grape Drank" Rofl. But yeah, he is a thieving guy, but his he does spce up the beats up in a way that makes em bangers.
maybe not the definition of stealing, no.. But that isn't downloading mp3s of the internet neither.. But to say you made something that you didn't has to be some kid of copyright issue.. strange that the record labels for those artist didn't claim the rights to the music that he copied, sampled or whatever.. Probably he payed someone off so that he could sample the music..
@Must83 hehe read some comments under here.. and i agree.. seems a little strange that he would pay some algeran artist from the 80.. no I think he is nothing but a hack..
oh Lord, i miss artists like Cat Stevens, making their own music and get their money because they are talents... and spent it for poor people. Today samplers earn millions, buying golden rings and the real creators are still poor, too often... bad times for music and strange youth... :(

@slimshaid what he did for nelly furtado - do it is blatant plagiarism. he didn't take a few seconds of the song and chop it like primo or rza do with the mpc, he interpolated most of the song and ripped the melody.

Timbaland is stealing, if he doesn't pay the original songwriters, or record labels that the songs belong to. Yes, foreign music belongs to foreign labels, that doesn't mean you can just claim you don't know where it's from. HONEST hip hop producers already know this, and get their samples cleared by their record labels and paid for BEFORE they sell them to other artists. Timbaland is STEALING.

The last Furtado song is the most shocking one...Tim's version sounds almost exactly like the original.
I won't say all the respect i had for him completely vanished. I listened to the original Arabic songs he stole from to make Aaliyah's two singles and i don't think just about anyone could take such a small piece of a song and create a completely new, different and great song out of it, like he did. So yes he is talented, but man, is it that hard to give some credit to the original artists?

There is nothing wrong with sampling, as long as you give credit (and payment) where credit (and payment) is due. Timbaland never gave credit or paid his dues. There are industry standards on how to acquire permission, and how much to pay for that permission. If you don't follow these procedures then you deserve to be sued.

@Matthewsinger2011 but if you sample and don't get clearance for the sample you're stealing... because none of the royalties are going to the original artist... for example producer Chucky Thompson (produced a lot of hits for Mary J Blige) loves sampling from Al Green... if you look at the liner notes Al Green is listed as a writer so Al Green gets royalties from those Mary J Blige songs...

timbaland is not taking a whole page someone else wrote and saying he wrote it. clearly we all know he's using something that's also being created but he's added on to it. More Than a Woman uses the arabic melody but how bout everything else about the song? I appreciate how he can use these songs and recreate and have a vision for them outside of just being 'old arabic music'.
TWON123 1 year ago
@TWON123 ... but... if you look at the liner notes for More than a Woman... just Timb and Barry Gibb is listed as writers... no credit is giving to where it's sampled from. Therefore the sample's owner doesn't get any royalties... therefor it's stealing... no one is saying that sampling is stealing... they are just saying that he didn't clear those samples and is keeping those royalties to himself and that is stealing
IanMarcias 11 months ago
@Brummy010 #2 The payment you are referring to would involve Timbaland paying royalties to the authors of the original work, through their respective publishers or labels, something that we know for a fact isn't being done since many are dead, or not represented by Performance Rights Organizations who overlook and enforce the artists rights to collect royalties. P.S. To say that "Sampling is one of the most creative things you can do in music!" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
twitchmassacres 1 year ago
@Brummy010 In order to rightfully say that you have sampled someone else's work and not straight out STOLEN, your final product must differ musically from the original. To simply put it, sampling should be done with the purpose of embellishing an entirely new song with a portion of an existing piece. (Continued)
twitchmassacres 1 year ago
Don't be stupid! Timbaland's just making beats the Hip-Hop way! Sampling is how you make original Hip-Hop instrumentals AND it's a part of Hip-Hop culture! PLUS, he also has to pay money LEGALLY before he uses the song he remixes (clearing it). Sampling is also used in in other forms of music like Drum and Bass, Techno, Pop etc etc! Anybody who knows about how Hip-Hop came about knows what I'm talking about! Sampling is one of the most creative things you can do in music!
Brummy010 1 year ago
@Brummy010 Alright, let me break it down to you kiddo, your argument is flawed in two critical points. #1 There is a difference between sampling and copying (what Timbaland has done here). When you sample someone else's work you take a SMALL PORTION of their music, and use it as a BASE to BUILD an ENTIRELY NEW MUSICAL PIECE. The beats shown in this video are not only identical to the original works, many of them are even in the same key, meter, and tempo as the original. (Continued)
