Timbaland

One of the most celebrated hip hop producers of the last 10 years, making beats for artists such as Jay-Z, Ludacris, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Rihanna and Brandy Norwood.

[on the controversy following reports that Nelly Furtado's song "Do It", and the Timbaland-produced ringtone "Block Party" that inspired it, used - without authorization - the melody from Finnish demoscene musician Janne "Tempest" Suni's song "Acidjazzed Evening"] It makes me laugh. The part I don't understand, the dude is trying to act like I went to his house and took it from his computer. I don't know him from a can of paint. I'm 15 years deep. That's how you attack a king? You attack moi? Come on, man. You got to come correct. You the laughing stock. People are like, 'You can't be serious'.
