Couldn't find this to be posted when i searched - |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh noe, it's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, pretty harsh I think. The original is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's silly..one could make good money just with doing some random nonsense beats and then search for similar things in most popular music. nowdays everything in the greater part of pop music's been heard before..with slight variations at most. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Timbaland is the Madonna of fat beats! Only difference is, Madonna actually gives credit(s) to the artists she uses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah pop music's full of random nonsense beats.. for real |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because she can afford it. and because it's probably cheaper that way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does he even acknowledge that he ripped off the Timberland clothing brand? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it isn't like he sampled something significant there..i can understand when people sample stuff like the most well known abba bit or something, but with stuff like that it's just silly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so because it's some unknown's music, it doesn't matter? it only matters when it's some famous person's music that's ripped off? what the fuck? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, Timbaland isn't exactly a bum either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I used to have a lot of admiration for Timbaland, but I've realised recently how much of what he does is from sample CDs or other songs. I'm not against using sample CDs or samples from other songs, of course, but when you've respected someone like that, and then found out a lot of what they're doing it isn't built from the ground up, it can be a bit dissapointing. Just my opinion. Oh, and those two songs do sound remarkably similar, although since there are only 12 different notes we can choose from, and since it is a really catchy sequence of notes, it could just be a coincidence. Or not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with you here. I hate it when people say it doesn't matter if the tune in question was just made by a nobody. Music is something precious and it deserves protection and respect whoever is producing it. This happens more often then you'd expect, too. I've heard quite a few stories from smaller bands and artists who've had issues with bigger names nicking stuff just because they can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you didn't get what im saying. i bet you could find 1000 people who did the same pattern without knowing the 'source'. i mean, it's some random beats put together.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're saying it's just coincidence? and that timbaland programmed the melody and beat himself? the timbaland songs are EXACTLY the same as the originals.. he just got someone to sing over them.. i can't believe i'm reading what i'm reading. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the song is still shit... uh oh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im sure i haven't heard either of those before but when i gave them a listen im sure i hear 10 tunes like that every day, whenever i shift through channels and stop on mtv. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You cant possibly think that it is a coincidence, it just sounds exactly the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. It almost looks like the Timbaland corporation pays people to search the internet for music from unsigned artist which could be used in songs. I have to admit though, that out of all the obscure crap that's out there, he recognizes the good stuff, tweaks some beats here and there, actually improving it..and voila, another million selling record! That's an art by itself. Slightly unethical, but art nevertheless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not talking about songs bearing similarity to one another. he took a song, and didn't alter it AT ALL, and released it with a woman singing over it. You don't think that's ripping someone off? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe that finnish dude will get to produce next nelly furtado now. i bet he would do it for cheaper. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i'd say that's definitely on the cards for him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think he could have easily contacted the guy and gave him a few hundred $$$ and put his name in the cd booklet and everybody would be happy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that 10 seconds there are so simple/basic anyone could do it..it's why i said probably 100 other people could also claim they've done the same bit. it's like doing a 4/4 10 seconds sequence with some basic fruity loop tone and then bitching about other people steal it from you.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Furtado was just another tool in Timbaland's pocket. But that's besides the point. The big difference between Timbaland and the Finnish dude would probably be, that the Finnish dude made this one nice track, almost by accident, and Timbaland has the vision to consistently make succesful copies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if that's so im sure he will be able to get what's his through legal possibilities. if no court will but that load of crap, then he will know not to put his next awesome song on the internet! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but=buy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually that 14 seconds there is directly sampled from a commodore 64 tune, just the bass/drums channel muted. I'd like to hear anyone here reproduce an identical piece with a c64. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How many unsigned artists would be worried that their track was being copied by Timbaland? Some would probably be honoured. It's not THAT bad to be good enough to be copied by the master-copier. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you the famous 'unknown' finnish fella who wrote the original? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most would probably be flattered i'd say. i know i would be. eventhough i don't know who this timbaland person is. and i don't like nelly either. there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
People have taken this unusually seriously: redrum: no, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who is Timbaland? Does he even exist? I'm sure Monoid can give an existentialistic insight on the matter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha so much talk over a dull pop song..i bet furtado loves the attention though, keeps her sales high :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah we're definitely doing the wrong thing by discussing this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i meant those links there.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Surprisingly, Timbaland hasn't made an official response....The plot thickens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Timbaland and Magoo - 'Indecent Proposal' is da Crunk Shit though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, sweet. Nice one, Timbo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
clever nigga. Sorry. So sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The new Timberlake album is pretty boring, too. I was expecting something a bit more crunchy and novel with all the talk surrounding it. It's catchy in places, which is nice, but nothing special. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is nothing. Timbaland took my wife, my kids, got me sacked from my job - I lost my house because of that stealing beaty merchant. The Finninsh Producer should be thankfull Timbaland got away with just a tune here and there - he was one of the lucky ones! Don't think badfully of Timberbland or he will steal your mind - and you might just hear your mind being raped on his next original (cough, cough) release by Nelly Tomato or his son Justin Timberland |

what so it has the same bassline, beat and tempo. sounds like it could be a coincidence |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No such things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's kinda what i was thinking. it's definitly not a sample. and actually, you don't have to pay royalties for a reperformance of a track if the words are changed. for example, weird al yankovic does not have to pay royalties for his parodies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but now i can't find my source. maybe Al does have to pay royalties. i swear he said in an interview that he doesn't.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from wikipedia.com "Despite such cases of Yankovic apparently backing down, parody is recognized as fair use under copyright laws, so he is actually free to parody any artist's work without permission. He apparently asks the permission of artists in order to maintain good relationships and avoid pointless lawsuits." |
