Let me see if I’m following along. So ppl are trying to discredit #Timbaland for sampling songs that became classic records in the '90s and 2000s but they haven’t a clue that most of today’s songs sample records from the 90s and 00’s
I can’t believe kids are calling Timbaland a thief for sampling. The only thing stolen is our joy because we still can’t stream the music he made with Aaliyah.
Look. #Timbaland is one of the 8 greatest producers of all time. Of. All. Time. If you just discovered the art of sampling in 2021, that’s on you. https://t.co/H5SkMJkFmH
... and if they’re cancelling Timbaland, they’re going to have a heart attack when they start typing in their sneaker God (Kanye) into whosampled... 😂 And every other Hip Hop producer and artist that ever lived, ever. 🤦🏽♂️
Kids being mad at Timbaland for sampling - a true tenet of Hip Hop - is why album sleeve covers were so important. And also a reminder that Gen-TikTok are fucking dumb.
Everyone knows @Timbaland is a master of his craft. Did you know these three hits sampled these Arabic classics? 🎧 To hear more about the Middle Eastern influence in Western mainstream music (that was once called “Belly dance music”) head to my Plus 1 Radio show on Soundcloud
