Justin Timberlake uses Purple Rain beat w/o credit

On Timberlake's new cd, track 10 "Until The End of Time", he & Timbaland decide to use the purple rain beat without credit given in the liner notes. Please somebody set me straight & say it ain't so!
Literally, I started thinking about movie scene in Purple Rain where Prince pops in the cassette in his bdrm from Wendy & Lisa & plays it over & over...

It ain't so. Its a sample of Roger Linn's Linn drum. Its that "Linn sound" that is reminiscent of 80s Prince.

I'm surprised Orgers aren't up in arms over that backwards track that closes the first half of the CD -- just like Prince did on Purple Rain. Purple misappropriations abound!!!

When played in the right direction, the song turns out to be The Barney Song sung like an old Negro spiritual by a small choir.

Does that Justin have an original bone in his body at all??? pissed
