Oh man, that's messed up. And I love that song too. He's done this before, though, with Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin.'" That little flute sample came from an Indian song. I'm tempted to say that he should be given a little leeway because he's Timbaland and, along with the Neptunes, one of the "last original beatmakers," that is to say that he doesn't tend to use samples a lot, but damn. If that is true, he needs to fess up and pay the original artist some royalties.
Yea i know timbaland and neptunes are great, its sad though to know if this is true or not. i love both of them. but if he is doing that to other peoples music its not right.
