Yeah he sure did. No producer has ever done that.

 

[SirBiatch]

Can we talk about how GENIUS this beat is for a sec?

First time I heard it, I thought I was in the pyramids with bytches. It's so fukking imaginative.

People have to understand - beats like this just didn't exist until Timbaland.

smart imo, let the song make all its going to and cash in

They probably well off and werent in a rush

Or they know the life expectancy of camels and wanted to catch jigga before he passed

 

[Larry Lambo]

If they've already been paid for the beat, what's the issue?

 

[really tho]

This is an interesting case. I think they had a morality clause in the licensing agreement and they are arguing that it was not used for a moral purpose (misogyny, cursing etc) and thus is a violation of the agreement.

this is spot on

Jay-Z And Timbaland Face Music Over Copyright

The music moguls have been accused of misusing the melody of an Egyptian love ballad from the 1950s, Khosara Khosara, in the 1999 hit single Big Pimpin'.

On the opening day of the trial, lawyers said Timbaland had used elements of Baligh Hamdi's song thinking it was royalty-free - but later paid $100,000 (£65,140) to EMI Music Arabia for the licence.

Mr Hamdi's family allege the pair should have asked for their permission too, as Big Pimpin' contains "vulgar" and "risque" lyrics.

They claim Jay-Z and Timbaland did not contact them on purpose because the duo knew the family would reject the request.

its the roc!

So they didn't figure this out until decades late?
