The producer Timbaland seems to have used a six year old song from a finish musician and used it for the song "Do it" by Nelly Furtado. Watch this video to see for yourself, and then visit http://tinyurl.com/yeqknw or http://digg.com/music/Timbaland_ripped_off_a_track_from_my_buddy to read more and to hear the original song.
UPDATE! Timbaland also used the song as a "Timbaland Original Ringtone" in 2005! Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV2fTEeP6GM
Note: I have nothing to do with the original song, I just think it's wrong for someone to use someone elses work without crediting them.
I would like to add something else too: the point of these videos was to show the similarities between the songs. For some reason that is completely foreign to me, some users feel that this is the forum to express their hateful and racist comments about other people. I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH BEHAVIOUR! If you want to comment the videos, that is fine, but BE ADULT ABOUT IT! If the only thing that you can think of writing is something you wouldn't like said about yourself then don't write it.
If the hateful and racist comments continue, I will simply disable the commenting-feature.
Thank you for your time.

you fool,any froducer can call a product as his own as long as his product doesnt contain atleast 1 loop that is perfectly the same as original.timbaland played his instruments over the original creating his own sample and bassicly keeping only the rhytm.dont diss when you know nothing

thats not sampling thats stealing right away... he took a mel and made it to his own.. sampling is when u take a sample from a track and use it in ur track, he used the idea and put own sounds over it..
I am inspired by some Beatles music, I may claim I wrote it and sell it as my own.

Hmm i'm listening into it once again, focusing more on it. And looks you're right. Hmm i'm not much into RnB/Hip Hop thing. Cause this music is too slow, boring and too simple. And still they rip it from someone else? He's not a producer for me. Just a show off like others in this business.
SLOW? look up Bone thugs n harmony if you think rap is slow...Timbaland is one of the BEST PRODUCER/RAP ARTIST of your and his time, you should be thankful that he was born
