Apologies if this has already been posted but I thought it was worth highlighting considering Timmy's meant to have some problem with Prince.

I really like this ablum too, especially Bambi!!

Prince has even said Timbaland copied him; now timbo is admitting it.

Tim is a great producer but he should drop the 'king' bs and lower his price to work with more great artists instead of mediocre rappers who can aford him.

Comes from god my ass. He rips music from independent artists online.

It was only about a fortnight ago I realised that the guy in all the Nelly Furtado and JT videos recently WAS Timbaland . I've heard about him for years
but had no clue what he actually looked like

NOOOO!!!


Yo, I will not believe it!

well if we're talking about producers working with mediocre artists...at least Timbaland gets money when he produces awful singers/rappers...all Prince gets is P*ssy and maybe some small regrets

good point

He wears his references on his sleeve sure. Sexy Ladies = Sexy Dancer. "I ain't got no money" line on his new single made me think of Wanna be Your Lover and that doesn't seem tenuous now. The bassline from Another one Bites the dust is reproduced on title track of FSLS etc.

I don't think i've got a keen musical mind so I can't really see the simlarities between the songs he's done and some of Prince's tunes. Can anyone name some obvious Timbaland tunes where he's ripped off P?

C'mon. Prince is his idol, he can't help it. I mean, he's the one that's gonna' have to live with ripping off of an artist, I think the guilts enough.
