Producer Curtis King breaks down how Timbaland and AI platform SUNO are stealing original beats from unknown producers to train their AI model.

You mean sampling? You mean in hip hop? I could never imagine

I guess it does make sense for AI to eat GMOs

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

I been caught stealing once when I was 5……

Timbaland is a piece of shyt for this. Stealing an artist’s work and running it through a computer to make AI slop is so anti-art that it’s offensive to anyone with a truly creative bone in their body.

Anyone genuinely comparing this to sampling needs to take several seats.

Shouldn't he be focused on getting Verzuz back up and running since they signed that big deal with Elon Musk?

I HATE Curtiss’ fake west coast accent

He's from IE. That's how Hit Boy sounds too. If you've been there that's the accent you hear.

 

[Amo Husserl]

This ain't 'bout to stop nothin'. We already had the Napster era. The buildings been smashed on.
Timbaland been sellin' out the culture, this nothin' new. Stop supportin' these dudes 'cause they had a run that was the soundtrack to your prime.

That's stealing? Was the original not listed?

Nah. Hit Boy sounds fine. Curtiss is CLEARLY using some fake inflection. Its unbearable.

This is what Timbaland does.

He got exposed for jacking Indian/Bollywood cuts on Fabolous album....I don't know why people would think he's above using a new medium to steal people's work for his benefit.

There is no telling the amount of shyt he's likely ripped from soundcloud... and just rehashed and presented as his own.

 

[Monoblock]

Timberland been a thief and a sack of shyt. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. He was caught stealing Bollywood music trying to pass it off as original years back.

Props to Curtiss King. He make some dope shyt as a mc and producer as well. Im subscribed. But I'm really disappointed in Timbaland. Grew up on his music smh. I won't be surprised if all these high end producers just be sharkin up and coming producers music. Got the tags in there and all. If you can't be creative and make stuff on your own it might be time to retire.
