Members Ryan Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 Timberland's record company would never have allowed him to sample the songs if they hadn't been cleared first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted April 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 These songs sound like a tad bit more than sampling, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poohbear19 Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 Who really comes up with their own beat all the time these days anyways (hip-hop/rap/r&b wise)? Not surprise, and so what... just add him to the long list of other producers/artists that do it. I still like him and the music. The only thing he can be at fault with is not crediting (that's wrong, if you take something... admit to it), that's wrong... so I hope he crossed all his 't's and dotted all the 'i's.

Administrator Toups Posted April 12, 2007 Administrator Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hip Hop producers reusing and recycling beats? No way! LOL As long as they pay for the originals, I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 As long as they pay and *credit* the original composer of the music. I think the credit part is just as important as the payment part. And, also, it's possible that the music company had no idea about the originals. I've never heard of *any* of those other artists and I'm sure the bulk of the US market hasn't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 12, 2007 Administrator Share Posted April 12, 2007 If they credit the original composer, is the crediting done in the album booklet? Or how does it work? Anyone in the record industry? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted April 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 Meh, it doesn't really matter to me. People think that Timba comes up with this stuff himself. I could go out there tomorrow and sample someone's music and put it on my own track -- doesn't make me some sort of genius, just because I thank 'em in the small print.

Members EricaKane70 Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 Is the person that did this vid illiterate, it clearly states in all of timbalands album covers or the artist he's worked with album cover that the beat was sampled from so and so's early tracks. They act like he committed a crime or something when he hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted April 15, 2007 Members Share Posted April 15, 2007 That's because the original songs come from the Middle East. I've always found it quite interesting that most R'n'B and HipHop tracks in the US use oriental elements these days, although the countries where this kind of music comes from are declared as being threats to the US government. No, it does not. I just looked it up in the booklet of Aaliyah's album where "More Than A Woman" is included, and there's no word of a sample, not on any track.

Members Ridge Posted April 16, 2007 Members Share Posted April 16, 2007 IA pooh. I'm currently going thru a love Timbaland phase, he has practically made Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake into stars. I also love the song the three of them sung.

Members poohbear19 Posted April 16, 2007 Members Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yes, I love it too... and I have Nelly and JT's albums on heavy rotation because of their Timberland produced songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
