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.

It’s one thing to sample and not credit the original because at the very least, he could say he still had some level of creative input by adding his drums, changing the pitch or tempo, etc. but stealing music for AI like this feels even worse because the computer is doing all the heavy lifting.

I read that Suno’s AI will take any music as long as it’s not copyrighted so all those beat submissions he’s been accepting for his twitch streams are probably in the system right now.

Timbaland is a pure sellout. Like not just hip hop sellout. nikka is a sellout in all of music.
I'm too tired to find it lol but King also showed a clip of this particular AI company's CEO talking about how nobody likes making music anymore because it's too hard - you have to learn how to play instruments, learn how to sing/rap, learn how to use beat machines etc. I don't think it's a coincidence that all these AI CEO (white) dudes seem to have a clear disdain for human expression and art. This drive to eliminate the very things that make us human is sociopathic. And Timbo being in the mix with these people is wild.

They def found the right sellout to help them. This dude doesn't give a shyt about anything but money and advancement.
