Ayo! Beat Thievery?
Posted by Good Money - March 20, 2008
According to the clip above the techno-tronical beat for Curtis’ hit ”Ayo Technology” was a Timbabland jack move and not an original composition. The track is conspicuously similar to ”Courtship Dating” a 2-year-old song done by obscure boy-girl electronic music duo Crystal Castles. Is Tim Mosley a beat biter? You be the judge . . .
Piano Man > Tim
sike nah but damn he did justice to it
shits called sampling…..iont see the problem here
that’s a recognizable video game sample, i don’t see too much of a problem with that. matter of fact, they get props from me if they even knew about crystal castles!
y tha hell does it sound like yall slowed down the 50 song to make it sound more like the other wack ass song. wtf? i guess thats wat happens when u aint got shit else to do huh onsmash?
wow he jus took a whole speed it up hum
after the whole dehaven shit i’ve lost all interest in seeing anybody being “exposed” on youtube, lol. im guessing it can’t be anymore blatant than the joint just blaze sampled for the PSA on the black album.
this not the first time he’s been accused he was accused of stealing a beat he did for nelly furtado
There better be a big ass royalty check… Whats also funny is that the original title is “Courtship Dating” and look at the content and video for ayo technology hahahaha, sealing eats cuz hes too jacked up to reach the beat machine
Timbo!!! Dit moi: It’s not VRAI!!! Putain merde.!!??
It’s just video game music. Crystal Castles just samples all the old video game noises and tracks from way back. Timbaland might have just sampled the same video game track. He might have jacked them, who knows. The beat is definitely not an original joint.
look bruh bruh. it’s good for music when genres collide whether it be through sampling, interpolation, or just plain getting down with other artists outside your music sphere or whatever you feel me. timbo definitely got the idea from cc who proly got it from some other crazy bastard (i mean that in a good way). but the beauty in all that shit is that this got some of the hip hop head dipping into alternative electro shit and vise versa.
But on the hip hop real speak mayne it’s all about credit. you know nodding the originators of some shit. If timbaland ain’t doing that then well….maybe thats why he stay getting busted out.
Side Bar: I think give that beat to 50 was a waist of a perfectly raw ass beat.
