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.
Timbaland's the shit, fuck whoever Khusara Khusara is. I'm suprised that you even know who they are...great job you know some no talent ass muthafuckas.
WELCOME TO HIP-HOP! I could list 100 samples that Timbaland stole from... Mayada En-Hennawy, John Ottman, David Pomeranz, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, the list goes ON & ON... He's ripped off Lord knows how many people. I don't care though, he's made GREAT music with it. But of course people will complain because everyone wants money. Like I said, welcome to Hip-Hop. I can't hate Timbaland for stealing samples.
Um I would not buy this shit I would pirate and steal it. THis arab stuff is kind of hideous really. TImbaland re invents the music yo! He makes the Arabs shit sound a bit more up beat lol.
@ShadowDaGeek he makes it sound like something YOUR accustomed to hearing (ie pop music by adding few kicks snares and scratches) not all music sounds like pop music you know those songs were just as famous in arab world without kicks and snares in them
Just because someone creates an instrumental inspired by something else, it doesn't mean it was "sampled" as someone else said. Listening to the examples provided here they are NOT identical but very similar, so he didn't STEAL anything. It's not a Vaniila Ice situation.
Plus, Timbaland's been using eastern music as the backbone of his work for well over a decade. Not to mention, if he was "stealing" anything he would have been called out before this apparent "problem" came to surface.
@britrob24 so as long as your not getting caught your not stealing, so if I go into your home and take things which don't belong to me it's not stealing until I get caught, your lack of logic is incredible
The fact that you couldn't even COMPREHEND my comment... not to mention you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" shows you possess NO logic.
Shut up already. YOUR (not “you're..” see the difference?) stupidity is pathetic.
@britrob24 you'er using argumentum ad hominem for a reason and I think we both know why, if you can't address the subject at hand maybe it's because you know I'm right. The simple fact is he was stealing and has stolen from many.
It's technically not sampling for most of timbalands productions... it's an interpoloation, because that's the only way it would be so crisp, and perfect, for some of his stuff sure it's sampling, but most of these examples would be interpolations
What's funny is that Petey Pablo made this song into a song about the USA and all about being anti-arab and shit... disrespected my own people on our own music.. smh...
i am now, so, are you getting any money out of the settlement? or you just have no life that you worry about other peoples business? it also seems to me your ticked off because timbaland beat you too it!
You should check out Timbaland's 'Do it' that was done for Nelly Furtado. He actually stole the *entire* song. Not just a sample. The *whole* thing. Verse, chorus, the lot. It's old news but still. Timbo lost the case not surprisingly (aka they settled, ie cash for the finnish guy).
Like I said, you can't get recognition if people don't know who you are. I don't know where you get your morals from, but you should not take people's stuff without asking first. That's called stealing whether you personally think "recognition should be enough" or not. Timbaland's in trouble now because an artist he stole from (Janne Suni) did not want his song used for commercial use. If you truly respect the artist you want to sample, you should ask them if you can do it.
Oh, and STOP CITING Kayne and Dre as examples of the same thing. As far as we all know, they put their beats through a sampling agency that clears the rights to the samples. Completely legal. Timbaland, on the other hand is a pompous bastard that steals without rights. I don't care how sick the beat is, it's still stealing. Until I see him apologize and clear the rights, he is has no respect in my eyes. Besides, Timbaland isn't even hip hop, most of the crap he makes is pop garbage.
Agreed. I am fine with sampling, but I am not fine with stealing. And this dude has the nerve to call Janne Suni, one of the artist he stole from, an idiot. My respect for him dwindles with everything he says and does.
Okay. If you actually dive into the subject, you will find that this is NOT sampling according to it's official legal definition. You will also find that many foreign artist have TRIED to topple Timbaland. But ALL have failed. Why? Most of these artists are thwarted by corporate representatives in their local courts and can not afford to hire good lawyers and fly to the U.S. to take it up here (where they might actually win). This makes me disgusted, as much as I love Hip-Hop and sampling.
Who ever makes these comments about timbaland ripping off beats are IDIOTS just plain stupid he is sampling you idiots even kanye west and a lot of other big producers sample dummys, its really ingenious if you ask me, so what its good music listen have a coke and smile
He should have at least given them credit like someone else on here said, but if he did that he wouldn't make much money. That makes him selfish a lot of artists do that these days which is really messed up.
ok sampling is when you use a drumbeat or a riff. which is a small part of what makes up a song.
When you take beats, chord progressions, and melodies from the same song, that is stealing. Which is what he did. Stop saying that Timbaland was sampling when he wasn't.
Everyone is getting defensive because we (including me) THOUGHT they were created by him and they aren't.
Wth!! none of the songs you mention are on the CD you pictured. and i searched for the songs you mention and the songs i got sounded nothing like the clips you provided. So first, you need to find out the actual songs, title, and album. Second, it is called sampling. Unless the actual artist comes forward and claims it, he doesn't have to pay royalties. Plus he could have not known who the artist was, but had a deadline and used it anyways uncredited. It is Called Sampling.
Anyone that against sampling is against one of the basic fundamentals of hip hop. hip hop was found on rapping over break beats and that evolved into sampling. it's not a big deal, premo, pete rock, kanye, just blaze, RZA, timbo, dr. dre... the list goes on, a ton of producers sample. if they can flip something into a hit song, then why not? as long as the sample is cleared and authorized for use then who cares. a great song is a great song, i don't care if it's a sample or what
Timbaland doesnt sample all his beats, he has made thousands on thousands of straight from scratch beats. There is a reason why he is the highest paid producer, there's a reason he is a grammy award winning one. Some rock is different and a lot sound like shit.
If you think he has made a thousand originally composed beats you sir are mistaken. Let alone if you think he has even made his sampled beats your mistaken. There is a difference between composing something and producing it. Sure he may be one of the best producers but that could mean I made a beat, gave it to him, he gets an artist to sing on it and now he's the producer. He has a great ear but as much as his own original talent...I don't know how much he actually has.
Could any of u make this beat? He does the same thing Dr Dre did for years and Kanye does now. Cause he takes songs from other countries it's a problem. Worry bout if he stealing song from US artists fuck other countries. Timbo 4 Life Bitch
I've got no problem with sampling, but Timbaland samples from bumfuck artists who have no idea that they're being sampled and don't get any credit or royalties for it. That's stealing.
Um i think Techno does it, whateva genre Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim does, they do it too. Rock doesnt do cause all their melodies sound the same
