I don’t remember the specifics but he got sued for jacking it Did Jay Z and Timbaland steal this hook? Hip hop duo sued over 'Big Pimpin'
Sounds like he got the rights to use the sample from the label and the family of the artist that made the original track said in addition to that he should have came to them and asked them.

The case was dismissed because the label was as far as they had to go to sample it. That's not stealing anything really since the label had the rights.

This shyt reminds me of undercover brother where general sanders gave up running for president to run a nationwide franchise of chicken shacks. :snoop: who poisoned timbaland? I refuse to believe a tim in his right mind would do this. Justin timberlake must have gave him some bad drugs allegedly.

Some people do it for the money and don't love the art.

you would be shocked at how common it is. its why you NEVER post beats online or send out without getting them copyrighted FIRST.
I believe you. It makes since why even Dr Dre and Timbaland had in house beat makers/producers. Dr. Dre had Chris "The Glove" Taylor producing on The Chronic. And Hittman all over 2001.

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.

There was a thread exposing that. It was basically the same one talking about the creation of drake before drake was launched. Supposedly dude that made that thread exposing how the industry robs artists or how the ovo tent works was scared for his life.

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.

Thing is, if the AI can refuse copyrighted music... it means it can accept it, but just not at the general consumer level.

To think a known thief wouldn't make an attempt to get super user access is us not giving Timbaland enough credit.

shyt like this is why it’s not good to jump completely on the AI bandwagon. You are going to get sued if people find out you stole. Ain’t AI just a bunch of shyt fed to the Internet from us? I mean go and ask AI to write a bio on you and see what happens. I was so surprised at how detailed it was on mine but all it did was pull a bunch of shyt from all my social media accounts and put it in bio form. I mean that’s great, but you got to be careful using that shyt and presenting it like it’s your work.
