style...thats not so clear & easy to call ripping off, imo. I suppose anything driven by bass & rhythm is a black thing and if you use it in your music you're ripping a black man off ?

what black man ?

huh ?!

but I recently found out he did the Bjork album <----> I'm curious at hearing something like that to be honest...


ha, rich black producer steals from lesser known white artist

no one has brought up the fact whites have been stealing from black artist since the dawn of music...maybe it's cosmic karma?


and in more ways then one I can see why Timbaland is flat outsaying "f*** you" to the haters...

and that is pretty much the point of what's happening here

if someone jacked Timbaland you can bet they'd get the (you know what) sued out of them

in this case it's the other way around and the poor fellas can't afford to do anything

I don't feel that bad for them really, its the game and they lost - boo hoo


the other thing - people are E-Yelling about what's fair and legal and what-not...but people are soon to forget their own "mis-givings" "white lies" "petty crimes" and "things no one will know about's" as if they themselves walk on the White road of purity


Timbaland isn't my most favorite producer (at all) <-- I do have respect for him though

and I really could give a shit if he jacked those guys - when we start having a discussion about ALL THE RICH WHITE artists / producers / sing song writers who've ripped off blacks for the past 100 or so years (and still have given them no credit) then I'll talk about Timbalands indiscretion
