timbaland is a looser?
"In 2000 the Finnish demoscene musician Janne Suni (also known as 'Tempest') won the Oldskool Music Competition at the Assembly demoparty with his four-channel Amiga .MOD entitled 'Acid Jazzed Evening.' A Commodore 64 musician called 'grg' remade the song on the C64 (using the infamous SID soundchip); it is this that was stolen. The producer's name is Timbaland and he is one of the hottest names in American music these days. The track in question is called 'Do it' and it is featured on the Nelly Furtado album 'Loose' on the Geffen label. Getting nowhere with Geffen, the demoscene has now risen to the aid of Tempest, first by creating a stir at SomethingAwful (files downloadable from the forum), then at Digg.com, then on YouTube, with a video demonstrating the blatant ripoff. Being an online-posting musician myself — what rights do I have if this should ever happen to me, and what can be done to raise awareness about such things?"

I guess I just don't like pop music. If I do chance upon hearing somebody playing any of this stuff, or that Disney stuff, I don't hear innovation, I just hear something 10 or 15 years behind the underground and way, way way overproduced. Sounds like something grown out of a boardroom meeting, rather than from the mind of an artist.elgato wrote:utter fraftwo oh one wrote:He's an overrated knobber

*yawn*
its a shitty album track that needed doing in 15mins, it'll be the most shine this finnish lad will ever get - he should be glad, if he handled it better he might've scored a job off it - n most prob Danjahands built it anyway.
it was a mod file in free circulation - fair game, he shudda got in contact with him first, but thats timbalands lawyers job, not his.

The latter occurs with great regularity in commercial hip-hop.
not at all.

this is a bit of a pointless argument but fuck ittwo oh one wrote:I guess I just don't like pop music.

show me the underground precedent for Are You That Somebody, We Need A Resolution, The Rain, Sock It To Me, Get Ur Freak On... the list could go on a lot, lot further
those tunes are unlike anything ive heard from before that, and most of what has come since
perception of soul and spirit is obviously gonna be a subjective thing, but i find his production sound warm and soulful despite its futuristic aesthetic, much more so than most electronic musicians i know of
and more broadly theres blatantly much much more bate sample usage in the underground than mainstream, theres such a dismissive attitude to it, so many false accusations thrown around without any justification
i dont mean to be aggy but its irritating hearing this stuff
Erm, what??? If you choose to disagree with my opinion about it, that's fine. But I have heard lots and lots and lots of this blatant reappropriation in commercial hip-hop with my own ears. To say it's not true doesn't really matter, because I've heard it.
now, I think Timbaland has done some cool stuff in the past, there's no doubt about that, but please don't try to tell me I'm wrong about what I've heard.
(Can't believe I'm arguing about hip-hop on the internetz

the issue i have is the way its presented, as if its something which is rife in the mainstream but doesnt happen anywhere else. which i believe is very misleading. to my knowledge 'commercial' hip-hop post 97/98 has been dominated by synthesised sounds, and mostly moved away from the sample based approach (which the underground has largely stuck with)subframe wrote:Erm, what???

its very easy to say 'well i know what ive heard' and claim victory without further discussion
dont mean to beef it just pisses me off
Timbaland as a producer unbelievable. He should stay away from the mic though. Actually Petridis' review of his album is hilarious and right on the money: http://music.guardian.co.uk/reviews/sto ... 98,00.html
That "Say it Right" tune on the Nelly Furtado album is one of the best pop records this decade, no question.
