@Dr. Truth what's the deal with Scott Storch and the Roots? Hell I didn't even know he was part of the Roots back in the day. Didn't even know they fell out either.
No he didn’t. Many of his top bears he was in the studio with the artist when he made the beats. Yall wild.
Numerous producers use production camps, Hitmaka, Mike Will Made It, Mustard, Ear Drummers
Timbaland started out in Devonté's camp aka da basement.....
Not saying he didn't "steal," from producers or artists, but the idea of a production camp is not new nor is it isolated to Timbaland or hip hop really.
Sampling or interpolating is not stealing. And it isn't a new practice.
Plenty of producers "sample," hell Kanye hasn't made an original beat in damn near 2 decades....
Man, fuck Scott Storch
This racist loving MagaT cokehead is so full of shit.....

He's a fucking culture vulture. There is no way you can say hip hop runs through your veins and proudly support the racist PoS Donald Drumpf
Yup also worked with Dre as in house . Dude is a coke addict . Coke took him out , he couldn’t handle all the money and fame
Yeah but The difference is Timbaland doesn’t let his in house people shine and takes all the credit . He just uses them. Danja literally made all those hits, my love for Justin Timberlake is all Danja , Sexy back, Danja , promiscuous Nelly Furtado, Danja, Work Missy, Danja and so on and so forth. All those jawns people assumed it’s Timbaland based on the sound. No that sound is Danja and Devonte
Hold on now...
Prince played & produced every single instrument (with the exception of horns, he couldn't play horns) on each & every one of his records, usually around 3 AM in the studio.
He would then take it to his band & teach each & every one of them how to play it.
Now, I will admit, once Wendy & Lisa did too much & Prince killed the Revolution, he started to jam session more & create stuff from that. But even with that, he rarely created a song from scratch. He would usually record the jam session, throw it in the vault & some time in the future, pull it out the vault & tweak it until he liked it.
There are exceptions ("Kiss" being one) but for the most part, Prince was 100% the creator & player of every song he's ever done.
BTW, Quincy was like that too...but he was more comfortable just producing.
If that was prince track he took and didn't pay for it prince would of sue the shit out of him. It's stolen if you get beat and don't pay for it
Small correction...Slash didn't play on Beat It, that was Eddie Van Halen with that solo and dude from Toto doing the rest .

Man we can’t even take you serious in these conversations. Timbaland had his on signature sound so how was he not making beats? How is that possible? Then you have so many artist who have voiced how Tim made their beats and were amazed how he made them.
Plus Tim was all over jodeci’s Diary of a mad band. What about us was fire. That was Tim’s sound and not Devonte’s. Tim was behind the drums and baseline and funky rhythm while Devonte was on the keys.
Why do you think Jodeci’s sound changed so much from their first album? Devonte was the primary producer on the forever my lady album. When Tim started producing on Diary of a Mad Band, you can hear his production

Man Tim a beast for this sample
Sampling is not stealing beats.
Danja played the the chords and Tim did the beats and arrangements.
I was a huge Timbaland fan growing up but the more I'm hearing about current activities, the worst it gets.
This dude really signed a bunch of 1s & 0s to a record label. That is disturbing at best. Timmy watched the movie Ex Machina one too many times and now he's trying to create a robot artist.

Timbaland legally did nothing wrong when he sampled "Khosara Khosara." The original artist died in 1997. His nephew had the rights to the song, but sold them to Sout El Phan (a subsidiary of EMI global) for all licensing outside of Egypt......
Timbaland and Jay paid EMI $100,000 once they became aware of the sample issue...... then in 2007 the nephew sued for some obscure Egyptian "Moral Rule." But he had no basis to do so since he already sold his rights to EMI and EMI already made an agreement with Tim and Jay.

But Tim and Jay did pay EMI.....
The whole copyright thing for music was mad confusing before like 89.....
But I can see Tim thinking the beat was in the public domain and then EMI telling him that it wasnt.
Well he just helped her because I listened to that shit and it was kind of wack….she look good though.
I don’t agree with a lot of the new shit Tim does but he’s earned the right to experiment. But to say he steal and all that shit is just hating.
It's more than just a few seconds of the song. Like I said, the case was dismissed because there was contention on where it was copyrighted, the US or Germany. Not because it's just a few seconds or an entire beat.
Believe what you want, but unless you’ve been in the studio with them dudes it’s all talk.
I’ve been in there and watched this man make some of folks greatest hits from scratch and seen him change ppl’s careers. Same goes for Swizz too.
As far as Quincy and Rick examples goes you missed the entire point, as expected, yet you proved my point my point without knowing it.

Puff has one hell of an ear I’ll give him that, bc the production he gave Mary J was impecable.

Your right on that. I got em mixed up. Slash did Give In To Me with MJ off Dangerous album
I never said Prince didn’t produce his stuff, Prince came up under Rick James for Christ sake. But He didn’t play every instrument of his songs. But Prince, Rick James, Quincy, Timbo, Ye, RZA, Rick Rubin, shit even Puff were the leaders of the music composition of the tracks.
That is my point just because you didn’t play every fucking instrument or weren’t hitting the pad on every syncopated beat doesn’t mean your not the official producer of the track. That would be like saying just bc Tarantino, Spike Lee, Scorsese, or Fincher didn’t physical shoot their films or were in the edit bay cutting every scene or behind the computer doing the VFX that they are not the real directors of their respected film. FOH with that BS.
The music producer is the leader of the production . Will they get inspired or get ideas from others , yea, but it’s the music producers job to take all those chaotic ideas and create something.

I gotta start turning off my YouTube history when being redirected from BGOL. Last week BGOL had my algorithms suggesting a bunch of transparent cleaning videos and now I'm getting a bunch of Timbaland is on some bullshit videos.
He is showing producers how to make money. Instead of waiting on an artist. If you sign your on AI voice, throw your production on it. You can capitalize off your music. I can't sing a lick but if I were a producer I would create hot music with an AI voice to showcase my writing ability.
I must of missed that about Patterson. Must explain why each book reads different.
from what I've heard, James Patterson is the face and there are a number of different authors who actually pen the books under that name. That must be why Nanna Mama was written very authentically as a black grandmother.
I didn't think white people were capable of that type of exposition on black people, particularly of her generation, and stands the reason they can't. There was probably a black person who wrote the first several Alex Cross novels because Nana mama was my best friend's grandmother growing up 100%.
White people typically write black people as blaxpoitation, and not much better than that. There's just a certain disconnect or not realistic by and large coming from them when writing about us as us
Yeah, I noticed that for about the past decade the book will have James Patterson's name in huge type and then another name underneath his

But there is no scenario in which that would have ever happened. Due to the obscure copyright laws prior to 1987, and dude was an international artist which complicated it further.....
Timbo would have most definitely paid Prince top dollar, especially if he thought he had another "Big Pimping" type beat?!!
Man the early 00's were a fucking gold rush, producers were getting upto $1 mil for beats AND royalties. Directors were getting upto $1 mil for videos. And all of that came out of the artist budget...... and the right artist would make that back 10X+ easily.

There is a book give and take shelf at work and every month I see at least 2 or 3 random ass James Patterson and/or Tom Clancy novels.
I thought both of those dudes were dead and was always confused as to where these new books were coming from.
Now I know. So the publishers are pretty much using their names as a brand on the side of some randomly written bullshit.
Over/under Timbaland is a fan of at least one of those authors
