Yeehaw! Jeroen Tel talking right now: "I know the guy who wrote the original music by heart. He has been underexposed. He deserves at least 50% of the income coming from that tune. Period.
timbaland made famous that shit song without timbaland we would even be talking about this what he did is not legal thats right but this is the real world thats why you have to be carefull with music because this is a jungle now we got a right example about how har is to claim rights from a song its basically imposible
We all know he is a thief but there are lots of ignorant idiots out there who could care less. Those dumbasses are the reason this guy is filthy rich.
Who the fuck is this cornball? ...Git the fugg outta here!!.. man I swear YOUTUBE needs to do some spring cleaning and git rid of some of the bullsh!t videos that are no longer needed...
some valid points... which is sad because, i feel timbaland had A LOT more creativity in the '90s when he actually "sampled" bits and pieces. He'd tak old funk tracks and create new melodies with it. But after a few years of repetitive synths, he got a little lazy with innovation and rewrote existing melodies as "his". A bad move for his discography. I'll say Tim WAS "original" 20 years ago since he DID switch up the sound of "Hip-Hop and R&B", but now? Yeah, he fell off.
Timbaland is thieving bitch. He copied the ENTIRE MELODY. THere is NO SAMPLING. A Sample is a small snippet (one second or so) of a song. He pretty much COPIED THE ENTIRE SONG!!!
I'll bet most of Timbaland songs are not his. So that makes him, his wife and his Momma, my bitch... Ain't that right folks?
is it that serious or they just mad because he did it better??? isnt everything out there an updated version of something from someone else yall have way too much time on your hands its sampling
@MrBionic83 it is called sampling...and sampling is something you have to give credit for and pay for dumb fuck. u think people can just go around stealing other's music without paying for it? were u really that stupid? sucks to be you. well now you know better.
Who cares what he did or where he got it from all i know is dat "his" production was and still hot . Once a song is recorded and published it belongs to everyone fuck it .
"Once a song is recorded and published it belongs to everyone fuck it ."
LOL, right.. try telling that to the RCAA when they sue you for downloading one of Timbaland's songs online. Or, try sampling a Timbaland song and selling it without getting permission from Universal first. After all, it belongs to everyone. Right?
I work in the music industry dealing with legal issues, contracts, copyrights, ownership, etc. All I'm going to say is that you clearly have no clue what you're talking about. I don't understand why people are so confused over what sampling is, and what a producers job is. I really wish more people would take the time to research these topics using credible reference material rather then the nonsense that fills most of the internet about it.
@a9b9c9d9e9 A producers job is to make sure the sample get cleared. So you have no clue what you're talking about. now We're talking about a Producer, NOT A BEAT MAKER. A beat maker is to give CREDIT for the sample, but the producer or Artist(usually the producer) is supposed to clear the sample(pay for the rights etc.) Timbaland has been stealing people shit for years, and he doesn't even make his own beats. Scott Storch, Darkville and two other producer made Timbos shit
Hey just to let you know in the Middle East and India they STEAL, flat out steal U.S. artist's copyrighted work without permission going back to the 1970's. Ever see the Indian Thriller rip-off video? It's on YouTube and really easy to look up, just search for "Indian thriller". They stole that and a ton of Bollywood songs are stolen pieces of music from artist in the United States,. And those artists in the US never get payed for it so...go after them first because they steal more in India.
So this basically says Timberland steals end of?so before 2001 all his music was his own,so people are mad why? because he does make GOOD MUSIC....Lost because the only people that should be complaining are the original arab producers but then again what if they used samples LOL
Before you insult someone, you fools should know a little something about music production. the melody used both by Timbaland and the totally unknown finnish guy is a demo melody from an old Casio keybord. If you purchase this instrument you can use and publish all the sounds and demo melodies it contains and it won't be no theft!
@taybad01 you mean every beat he Stole and didn't give credit to the original producer? gtfo. did you not just hear anything this guy said? HE STOLE IT. you are honestly autistic.
From what I understand, Timbaland interpolated the many arabic songs in question. (There's a difference between sampling the actual recording and interpolating the notes/melody/etc).
akon yes akon the famous one ripped me off in 2005 when a person from a studio i worked in stole two 3.5 floppies from me and he knows tpain who knows akon they called me said they like the track but i refused them not thinking or knowing they had my disk didnt find out till my younger son heard the music on the radio its a real mess and probably will involve the police when its all done
i really dont care who stole what or who created i like the music he produced off of other tracks from other people if thats the case music is music enough said
there is a known and well-usable term for this kind of this: its called "plagiarism"-taking material someone else created and presenting it as one's own without even so much as mentioning the original artists, and yea that is against the law
@92soothsayer Really its not against the Law. Beatles based a lot of there early career on it, cats like Hendrix have been none to do it & so on. Plagiarism is almost impossible to prove in music. Generally it revolves around take a piece of work and making a minor change, not in the theoretical sense, so it therefore becomes yours by law. Replaying another persons work in the form of a riff is different again & not illegal or considered a cover, see Dr Dre's work for examples of Interpolation.
@terrytees well Hendrix may have played "Sargent Pepper" before the Beatles could, but did he have it put on one of his own records and sell it as his own without siting the original artists (Beatles)? and yea I've heard that Jimmy Page even admits in a '93 issue of a Guitar World Magz. that Zeppelin "..did, however, take some liberties" with blues lyrics
but don't you think this whole "sampling" thing is getting unjustly out of hand? i mean look at Rihanna ("mya hee" -wft?!) she's famous WHY??
SubversiveLibrarian...I'm not sure if I agree with you on this. With text, the boundaries of copyrights is more clear...but with audio and video the boundaries are less...
He sampled the heck out of the song...it was a small background faint noise in the song. Does fair use cover any of this? Or does that not apply because he is making a profit off the song?
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 u narrow minded, outdated piece of shit. you wanna talk about slavery and all the bull crap that cant fukin be solved anymore...its in the fukin past you cow dung! arabs or europeans wouldn't get involved in slavery trade today....it can never fukin happen now...so fukin move one....and understand how timbaland jacked the heck out of so many old masterpieces without giving any credit to original sources. you're a fukin retard...fuk!
@hamdustan lol. all the anger from just words. that shows what you care about, definitely not people.. you probably only care about yourself. Look up slavery in Africa. Arabs still have slaves in the northern east part of Africa. smh. this shows me that you are ignorant to the topic of slavery. Believe me, you're the narrow minded one of this conversation.
@hamdustan "its in the fukin past you cow dung! "-this statement is funny because this topic about timberland stealing beats is also in the past. Slavery still goes on. Every heard of human trafficking? I can talk about slavery a million years from now and it will stil be revelant. you're concern about stealing music, something abstract will always be irrevelant. I know you're mad. You probably still get upset that OJ kill Nicole and got away with it. smh Get over it, it's iin the past
he's finnish....the US constitution doesn't apply....about 90% of hip-hop songs are sampled, read up. this isn't anything too big...had Timbaland put "Acidjazzed" in fine print on the track listings inside the CD booklet, they wouldn't have gained any attention. Timbaland obviously got inspiration to make the track (and sample it), and what he made was something else. This is getting so old hahaha
nobodies really clearing this up the right way for people to understand, he finds a rare song from Finland or an arabic composer, puts it on, and plays right over it, he still displays talent by adding the right drums and perfectly, and takes a crappy qualitied foreign song and brings it to life, so in essence he is talented and the beats are impressive compared to what they were, but basically he's not giving credit to the people who made the song....everythings not always black or white.
I prefer Timbaland sampling that and making a great song with Nelly...that his stuff nowadays. His music now sucks, as every music around: Gaga, Rhianna, Bieber...I miss the good old days.
Before saying all of this... did you all listen to the original of the song that that finnish guy used? He heard the song, had the sample and inspired himself from what he heard... The sample AND the song of that finnish guy SOUNDS THE SAME. He doesn't own the original sample, just HIS song. and if someone uses the same sample without cutting and rearranging the original loop from the original song it sounds like a ripoff... I mean, I do sampling and did a song that sounded like one of Akon...
That nigga just snatched that shit threw the net, said " gimmie dat!" took it to the bank like a check and cashed it in, simple as that, BUT!!! we all know if he wern't so greedy the towle head woulda just traded the rights for three sheep and a mule
The man that wrote the original song is Abdel Halim Hafez. He was an Egyptian who sang modern Arabic and Opratic Arabic music. Abdel Halim in the eyes of Egyptians is one of the GREATEST Egyptians period. From his humble upbringings, to his music about love and unity of Egypt.
Timberland will never have an impact on a people like Abdel Halim had on Egypt. Unfortunately he past away in the late 70's. The song that Timberland stole from is called "Khosara". I wonder what Timberland would say when knows that millions of people have downloaded his music without paying for it. He'd probably say something then.
If "towle head" is actually a mis-spelling of "towel head", which it appears to be, you're a racist. A racist who can't spell, but one would imagine that a lot of racists can't spell.
I kept say'n this shit years ago...Timbaland was not original in his music selection...the crate diggin' he can git that, but the only thing that he did was add the drum pattern!!! This nigga is wack...he's like a Megatron in the Samplin' Community!!!
heres Timmy with his ASR and your CD. ohh thats hot! take that part,now add some drums from the MPC60! yeah dats my shit. change the pitch! send it to the Library of Congress before they figure it out!
what he did was make it more interesting in a different style of music.. I dont think he even cares if he got credit its about what he did with the sample..
The main loop was sampled from the first 4 bars of the intro of the song and then filtered.
The bass line was copied and simplified from the intro.
The drums were original.
I would have liked to have seen a more creative bass line or a direct sample of the original bass line, but taken as a whole this song is a perfectly acceptable use of sampling.
The ONLY thing not acceptable is him not giving credit to the source he sampled from.
@GBev2K don't be an idiot. Stealing someone else's work then selling it as your own and making millions of dollars from it and promotion and ads on youtube and commercials and more gigs etc. is way different than one person downloading his music via the internet. In fact, I encourage pirating ALL of Timbaland's music so that he doesn't get a cent of money that he stole from Janne Sunni. Hell, I would, if I listened to anything Timbaland... After all he's a composer... A...Mozard or Amadeus...
@GBev2K I people were downloading music illegally then trying to sell that music in the stores and claiming they wrote it, then your analogy would be valid.
Thanks for the video and the information...Timbaland is SO WRONG for STEALING WHOLE SONGS from these WONDERFUL ARABIC AND GREEK ARTISTS...I AM SICK...He probably assumes that because they're in the Middle East they can't come after him...WRONG!!..
I'm glad you put this out, because on msnbc, writers were sweating timbaland so hard they would go on to write that he is a producer that doesn't sample, and i'm sitting back like
I don't exactly understand why you went into this whole thing about saying "He took the whole song". That would've been okay too if he had just gotten the rights to do so. But the bottom line is that he didn't. Whether it be sampling or using the entire song the bottom line of the whole thing is that he didn't get the rights to it use the song period.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude.. 1) timbaland did NEVER said that he composed those songs, he just produced them :) 2) Sampling is just like singing at the piano on.. something composed like.. who knows.. mozzart .. people sing his notes.. so timbaland samples those instruments :) it's just the same thing and all you fuckers have something bad to say about that. go to you're 50-70's music and stay there if you don't like it.
@vladumc lol your an idiot .. because 70's 80's music is what made music you my friend are a fool and all the stuff you wrote was all bs.. now go fuck a dog
Dude, he doesnt use the ENTIRE song in his tracks... Going back to your collage example, he does in fact take pieces from songs and place them together INTO a new piece.
Now, is he wrong for not naming the original artist? Absolutely. But, nonetheless, the term "sampling" is still relevant.
@DexMichael exactly, people who are saying he stole the song know nothing about sampling or hip hop music and its history. They are most likely nerds who are attracted to the chip tune genre. He didn't clear the sample but that happens alot in hip hop these days.
dude...........r u serious??? wth....... lol..... this is just sad! lol bottom line to all this drama of " stealing ".....as long as money controls this industry, those who make it, will have the control over it, everybody else, get what u can!! it's jacked up, but it ain't about music no more, hasnt been for a long time! u drop top 10 hits on the regular, u get away w/ whatever, if u know how to, or have enuf $ !! Thatz the american way right....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This video just accusing it's not really telling all that much of what steps TIM took to Steal the parts.
Your plugs are have more info than the case on TIM.
Art is is cross inspirational and you are the kind of people that stomp on that kind of artistic justice and make controlling, shitty laws, that hinder all kinds of artistic freedoms. Timbaland credits everyone he samples from, so what you are saying is not true dude.
Its not about making money sometimes it's the recognition, Like in any art form. |f a well known respected producer had said " hey can I use your track as a sample" he most probably would have said yes if he gained a sleave credit or at least mentions in interviews etc, but to out right rip it is out of order. Lets say if somebody ripped a timbaland song and made millions from it and didnt mention him, he would be pissed
Yeah except he didn't just cut out the entire song and claim it as his own. He made it sound different and made it sound hot enough for pop music.
I notice that its always unaccomplished amateur musicians who are spending their free time attacking other musicians.
Look, music is repetitive. Chord progressions are stolen every time a song is written. Intervals are stolen, rhythms are stolen, formats are stolen, mixing ideas are stolen.
I should sample some of the possessions in your house, since you're so giving, mayne!!! C'mon son, you know what it is.
Chord progresions aren't stolen, just because someone plays a similar progression. There are only 12 notes to use, man!
If playing ANY chord is stealing, then so is writing words, coz the Romans and Greeks made these letters. It all depends on if you wanna view this with *middle ground* or be "all or nothing"?
@VarialProductions Um... He copied and pasted the chorus of this guy's song, and then had Nelly Furtado sing over it. Some of the parts she sings is part of the melody of the Finnish composers music. The beat? It's stolen from the Acidjazzed Evening... The harmonies and chord progression? AcidJazzed Evening... Some of the melody? Acidjazzed Evening... All accompany? Acidjazzed Evening. He didn't just steal chord progression.
Why are people still talking about him sampling? Didn't you watch the video at all? He DIDN'T SAMPLE the song! He took the whole thing and claimed it as his own! Christ, it is so hard not to rage at you guys... If you listen to the video all the way through you wouldn't be spouting your ignorant "buh, you're wrong..." all over this video's comment area.
no your wrong what you need to do is look up your facts before posting your opinion as fact what your refering to as him stealing music(sampling) and saying the sample is all made by him is not correct in order for him to produce this he has to give credit and depending on the how much of the music that was sampled is used in the track the percentage of the time used is payed to the original artist the copyright is already established by the recording artist dont need a lawyer to know that
You ignorant fuck, Timbaland hasn't claimed rights to individual parts of the music he's produced (the samples), he's claimed rights to the completed project, aka the song.
By Timbaland saying he made the music is wrong, although, sampling is actually helpful to this generation, sampling older music kind of "recycles" it into new music.
This happens everytime. In my country, a lot of our artists do a lot of covers from popular artists mostly from the U.S. and includes those song in their album. As far as I know, those song don't have consent from the original artists...It happens everytime...
Don't get it twisted! I was just saying it happens everytime, but no one gets "persecuted" from doing it because they live in a different country, they have no idea that their music has been robbed by some foreign artist, same in the case of Timbaland... and by the way, you can worry whenever you want!
I have a question does Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution count for the artist that are not citizens of the U.S? (I have research and the is no evidence of these artist as U.S citizens to my knowledge) and one more thing, there is no such thing as an original, the is rhythms and melodies and every concept to music is similar(If you break it down. A single note(sound) and 16th notes(rhythm) is as original as it gets. Think of it as molecules(music) and elements(notes).
Well by the books what he did wasn't wrong. But as an artist it was cheating. But generally I'm just saying why doesn't the people here help the victims instead of comment from the safety behind their computer?
well this is kinda true,if everyone keeps sampling everyones songs...then there wont be any new music just another "remake" another "remix" just the same shit playing over and over whith diff paste or diff genre!
dude who gives a shit if he gave exposure to the community. thats just something that came from his intention to benefit himself at the cost of others. im sure they appreciate it, but timbaland should lose everything he has. hes one cocky bastard too when he says shit like im too good
What about Biz Markies "Alone again naturally?" You wouldnt knock BizMark here would you? Although he lost the legal debate for the same reasons you point out here.
Another example I could give is the famous Apache break that is usually sampled for its entire length of 2 minutes. Thats more than a snippet- that 2/5 of the song.
But ringtones? That cant be good. Im sorry If I may have missed the point here but In my world sampling is a fine thing to do.
fantastic video mate. it seems you can't reason with ignorance unfortunately. people are still trying to argue! unbelieveable.
i just hope one day someone will take timbaland down a peg or two. i have no respect for the man... he's an arrogant bully. it makes me sick to know he has got away with this. and even sicker to see people condoning and sweeping this incident under the carpet.
Ru , ya know race doesn't come into it. Of course he can play that card if he wanted. but well thats weak. trust.. other people who don't get permission before release get the same treatment.. BUT they get the chance to correct matters. Tim was given that chance also. His own arrogance cost him the wrath of demo sceners.. it's of his own making.. probably just about the only thing that was..lol
he's talking about do it, by nelly furtado...but his logic is flawed, because timbaland did TAKE A PEACE (it's like 1/8th of the song, maybe) and make a new song out of it, adding instruments and vocals mixing it up, and anybody who has heard both of the songs in full with an impartial mind, you know it's a sample, not a complete ripoff
He took the song, rerocerded it(whit instruments) and added vocals. Thats stealing. Its not sampling. Its the same if i took Do It and then made a 8bit version of it(like the origional song was) and then sell it. Its also stealing. Just because you rerecord it whit different instruments doesn't make it a new song.
I think that moultie was saying that Timbaland added instruments and vocals to the track in addition to the sample(s) used. Usually when dudes sample something in hiphop they layer other sounds over the sample to change the sound (like make it louder,etc.). He (Timbaland) also used some filtering on the sample too, I think.

From what I understand, Timbaland interpolated the many arabic songs in question. (There's a difference between sampling the actual recording and interpolating the notes/melody/etc).
So the example at 1:27 is just a little bit off.
It's actually more like drawing a slavishly detailed copy of the magazine page.
Or re-doing the entire layout & printing it (w/o scanning or otherwise utilizing the original photos or artwork used in the magazine's layout).

SubversiveLibrarian...I'm not sure if I agree with you on this. With text, the boundaries of copyrights is more clear...but with audio and video the boundaries are less...
He sampled the heck out of the song...it was a small background faint noise in the song. Does fair use cover any of this? Or does that not apply because he is making a profit off the song?
Just a thought.

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.

@hamdustan "its in the fukin past you cow dung! "-this statement is funny because this topic about timberland stealing beats is also in the past. Slavery still goes on. Every heard of human trafficking? I can talk about slavery a million years from now and it will stil be revelant. you're concern about stealing music, something abstract will always be irrevelant. I know you're mad. You probably still get upset that OJ kill Nicole and got away with it. smh Get over it, it's iin the past

he's finnish....the US constitution doesn't apply....about 90% of hip-hop songs are sampled, read up. this isn't anything too big...had Timbaland put "Acidjazzed" in fine print on the track listings inside the CD booklet, they wouldn't have gained any attention. Timbaland obviously got inspiration to make the track (and sample it), and what he made was something else. This is getting so old hahaha

nobodies really clearing this up the right way for people to understand, he finds a rare song from Finland or an arabic composer, puts it on, and plays right over it, he still displays talent by adding the right drums and perfectly, and takes a crappy qualitied foreign song and brings it to life, so in essence he is talented and the beats are impressive compared to what they were, but basically he's not giving credit to the people who made the song....everythings not always black or white.

VitorVitoriaBaia 1 year ago
Before saying all of this... did you all listen to the original of the song that that finnish guy used? He heard the song, had the sample and inspired himself from what he heard... The sample AND the song of that finnish guy SOUNDS THE SAME. He doesn't own the original sample, just HIS song. and if someone uses the same sample without cutting and rearranging the original loop from the original song it sounds like a ripoff... I mean, I do sampling and did a song that sounded like one of Akon...

The man that wrote the original song is Abdel Halim Hafez. He was an Egyptian who sang modern Arabic and Opratic Arabic music. Abdel Halim in the eyes of Egyptians is one of the GREATEST Egyptians period. From his humble upbringings, to his music about love and unity of Egypt.
THEIRONBULL94 3 weeks ago
Timberland will never have an impact on a people like Abdel Halim had on Egypt. Unfortunately he past away in the late 70's. The song that Timberland stole from is called "Khosara". I wonder what Timberland would say when knows that millions of people have downloaded his music without paying for it. He'd probably say something then.

The main loop was sampled from the first 4 bars of the intro of the song and then filtered.
The bass line was copied and simplified from the intro.
The drums were original.
I would have liked to have seen a more creative bass line or a direct sample of the original bass line, but taken as a whole this song is a perfectly acceptable use of sampling.
The ONLY thing not acceptable is him not giving credit to the source he sampled from.

Stealing someone else's work then selling it as your own and making millions of dollars from it and promotion and ads on youtube and commercials and more gigs etc. is way different than one person downloading his music via the internet. In fact, I encourage pirating ALL of Timbaland's music so that he doesn't get a cent of money that he stole from Janne Sunni. Hell, I would, if I listened to anything Timbaland... After all he's a composer... A...Mozard or Amadeus...

Its not about making money sometimes it's the recognition, Like in any art form. |f a well known respected producer had said " hey can I use your track as a sample" he most probably would have said yes if he gained a sleave credit or at least mentions in interviews etc, but to out right rip it is out of order. Lets say if somebody ripped a timbaland song and made millions from it and didnt mention him, he would be pissed

Chord progresions aren't stolen, just because someone plays a similar progression. There are only 12 notes to use, man!
If playing ANY chord is stealing, then so is writing words, coz the Romans and Greeks made these letters. It all depends on if you wanna view this with *middle ground* or be "all or nothing"?

(I have research and the is no evidence of these artist as U.S citizens to my knowledge) and one more thing, there is no such thing as an original, the is rhythms and melodies and every concept to music is similar(If you break it down. A single note(sound) and 16th notes(rhythm) is as original as it gets. Think of it as molecules(music) and elements(notes).

But ringtones? That cant be good. Im sorry If I may have missed the point here but In my world sampling is a fine thing to do.

he's talking about do it, by nelly furtado...but his logic is flawed, because timbaland did TAKE A PEACE (it's like 1/8th of the song, maybe) and make a new song out of it, adding instruments and vocals mixing it up, and anybody who has heard both of the songs in full with an impartial mind, you know it's a sample, not a complete ripoff
moultie 2 years ago
He took the song, rerocerded it(whit instruments) and added vocals. Thats stealing. Its not sampling. Its the same if i took Do It and then made a 8bit version of it(like the origional song was) and then sell it. Its also stealing. Just because you rerecord it whit different instruments doesn't make it a new song.
Petri87 2 years ago 4
I think that moultie was saying that Timbaland added instruments and vocals to the track in addition to the sample(s) used. Usually when dudes sample something in hiphop they layer other sounds over the sample to change the sound (like make it louder,etc.). He (Timbaland) also used some filtering on the sample too, I think.
Not to detract from what you were saying Petri.
