It doesn't matter if you're a fan of Timbaland or not, the man is an obvious thief. There's dozens of videos showing the source materials that he steals and shoves in his product.

    Welcome to 1984! Sampling is a part of Hip-Hop. Just ask the Beastie boys who became the force they are today off of sampling. License to Ill and Paul's Boutique wouldn't have been able to be made today with the rules and fees concerning sampling.

    The Dust Brothers raped a shitload of songs for Paul's Boutique.

    Beasties' best album as well!

    Biz markie was the first to feel the wrath of the copyright laws. he got screwed out of a lot of money because he used a sample without permission and the courts made an example out of him.

    hiphop will never die because its already dead. everything in hiphop is recycled it is the definition of the genre; sample and make new out of old. been happening since they started samplin beats by james brown.

    people like to forget that back in the 50s, most record labels would have their white artists simply record the hit songs of black artists in order to steal the income from that hit song.

    so in the 80s, black artists started a new genre doing it to white artists

    but then, it was copyright infringement

    seriously, how many record labels wouldn't exist if they hadn't stolen from a bunch of black guys to begin with?

    answer: ALL OF THEM.

    Exactly. :) Like Ultimate Rock Gods Led Zeppelin never stole stuff from other people (mostly dead black bluesmen). Christ, like Mozart never appropriated/quoted from other stuff fashionable in his day. How far back do you want to go?????

    regardless of race i'd prefer to hear new sounds rather than rehashed shit with a different beat.

    Hey, some samples make the original more famous. Take "Roc Boys" by Jay-Z for example. That song, which samples the horns from "Make The Road By Walking," by the Menahan Street Band, was the only reason I heard the latter to begin with. Some samples do suck, but a lot do some justice to the original. You want samples to pick on? Don't stick with Timbaland. He rarely samples the work of other artists. Sean Kingston has sampled Led Zeppelin, Ben E. King, and Phil Collins in his work. It sounds awful. That's the stuff people should hate on. No, Timbaland's got a lot of creativity and people who make samples put a lot of time into how to approach the sample so it does justice to the original song.

    Now if someone sampled Pink Floyd or Pearl Jam...whole different story. That's not cool.

    Yeah I hate that Sean Kingston song that samples D'yer Mak'er. One of my friends was singing the oh oh oh oh oh part one day, and I was like, oh that's an awesome song, I've got it on my zen. And then a little while later they were like, play that Sean Kingston song. I was like, who the hell is Sean Kingston? Then I heard that song. It makes me angry.

    I wouldn't call it stealing at all, its freakin rap. nearly all of that garbage sounds exactly the same. I mean cmon, listen to regaeton...EVERY song has the same beat, is that stealing? No, its not...its just garbage music.

    I had to let down a bunch of gangsta kids at my school and tell them that Kingston didn't write Me Love, but it was originally a Zeppelin tune. They were shocked.
