This song was originally made in 2006. Dont give timb too much credit. We know how he's snaking guys now with his AI shyt. His whole career is suspect


Its the same sample. If this is the case, everybody's career is suspect. And no the A.I. doesn't discredit his previous work.

It isnt. Their claim was the synthesizer makes a common sound or something like that. There is no sample listed in the credits. Tim has been accused of stealing for years and has plenty of songs without credited samples. The ai shyt just reveals his real character. He is openly taking from artists on stream.

Pretty much everything Tim did from 1996 to 2007 was way ahead of its time.

This is one of those tracks where the beat really elevates the song. The song is pretty corny, it would have worked better as a full JT song. A lot of his songs are corny but it works for his persona. For 50 this seemed a bit forced.

One of his craziest beats is Snoop - Set It Off. I don't know how the hell he was coming up with shyt like that.

Breh, its a sample. That Crystal Castle song samples this:



^^^8:53 mark. You're giving Crystal Castles too much credit. The beat on their song sounds nothing like "AYO Technology" aside from that sample used throughout.

Breh, do you know how many songs have samples that have gone uncredited? Timbaland is not the only producer who has sampled an artist without giving credit. You might as well discredit pretty much every producer. I remember producers actually being mad that people were posting sample mixes online that revealed the songs sampled by producers (a lot of them were uncredited samples).

The A.I. thing is whole different thing. His character has nothing to do with his work as a producer and is irrelevant to this thread.

"AYO Technology" is actually a nice beat. It didn't fit 50 Cent though. Only rapper that should've touched this beat is T.I. Other than him, OutKast is the only other choice that makes sense.

It actually would've done more for T.I. to have this on T.I. vs. T.I.P.
I liked the beat and hook but it did feel “off” coming from Curtis.

Baby by Me is another one, love the song but it seemed completely off-brand, worked though like a couple of his other “For the Ladies” tracks (21 Qs)

I always thought it was interesting that Do You Think About Me worked for him but Baby By Me didn’t.

^^^8:53 is the sample. I just wanted to highlight that this is the actual sample and it wasn't jacked from another artist. This was made in 2000. Crystal Castle released the song that samples this in 2006. "AYO Technology" came out in 2007. It is arguable that Timbaland nor Danja had even had the Crystal Castles song when they made "AYO Technology".
